Good tips dude.
Additionally I'll get headache when I attempt to play a 3 d game in computer. When the screen images rotate, I feel the some rotational sensation and within minutes I get headache.
I do not play any 3D games and also I close my eyes when I see such an scene in movies. I cant tolerate such a rotation scene anywhere.

Well said...I do have migraine attacks from time to time, and I must admit it no ordinary headache. It is often triggered when I have exams or when I read too much. Like what you said, my doctor advised me to refrain from eating chocolates (which is really difficult for me) and cheeses.
Have a great day!
