@doctor.painkiller: Neurologist explains what actually causes hangover headaches and why they feel like migraine attacks. The hangover headache is the most common secondary headache on the planet — about 72% of people will have one. And almost everything sold to prevent or treat it has no evidence behind it. Water between drinks? Tested in a randomized trial — did nothing. Electrolyte pre-loading? No data. IV hangover clinics? A multi-billion dollar industry with zero trials showing superiority over oral fluids. What the science actually supports: NSAIDs help since the headache is partly prostaglandin-driven,but they are not safe for everyone (ulcers, kidney disease, blood thinners). Oral rehydration for the dehydration component. And time. The most interesting part: 36% of hangover headaches meet full criteria for migraine — even in people with no migraine history. Alcohol can activate migraine pathways in anyone. The only evidence-based prevention is drinking less. Sorry. Educational content only — not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about what’s right for you. #headache #migraine #hangovercure #brainhealth #healthtips

I stopped drinking because it just isn’t worth it.

“Your gut leaking bacteria into your bloodstream”. I don’t believe this at all. Do you have any trustworthy research on this?

Vitamin b50, magnesium glycinate, vitamin d3/k2 works every time. Take the b50 with meal before or at start of drinking

So why do I not get a hangover from whisky but do from beer?

Why do I get the hangover mid drinking? Everyone is pre gaming while I already have to lie down with a migraine after 1-2 drinks (no matter if it‘s cola and vodka, gin tonic, or other alcohol). Same with cigarette smoke or bonfire. Somebody smokes next to me and I am toast. Immediate migraine.

Not offensive at all. Just facts. And I’m 100% on board. It’s just not worth it anymore.

I thought I had ‘incredibly bad hangovers’ until I stopped drinking and the hangover-like headaches still showed up occasionally, complete with light and sound sensitivity and nausea

I always had really bad hangovers regardless if I had two or five drinks? Do you think having underlying inflammation disorders (for me endometriosis) impacts people more?

Hangover headaches are nothing comparing with migraines, it's so much easier

So as a chronic migraine girly that doesn’t feel like I get very bad hangovers, it’s just because that’s my baseline? Seriously, I think my workplace makes me feel worse, and I’m sadly not joking 😳

I try not to allow the migraine to grow. even completely inebriated I usually remember to take ibuprofen with electrolit, chug salty water in the morning and caffeine. 🥰 Does it always work... no, maybe 9 out of 10 times lol
