Are the headaches throbbing and severe?

By

Migraines affect three times more women than men. Migraines may:

  • Cause pain that is moderate to severe and may pulsate
  • Cause nausea, vomiting, or increased sensitivity to light or sound
  • May affect only one side of your head or may affect both sides of your head
  • Worsen with daily activity
  • Last from four to 72 hours without treatment

Treatment

Migraine treatment is aimed at relieving symptoms and preventing additional attacks. If you know what triggers your migraines, avoiding those triggers and learning how to manage them may help prevent and lessen migraine pain. Treatment may include:
  • Rest in a quiet, dark room
  • Hot or cold compresses to your head or neck
  • Massage and small amounts of caffeine
  • Over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others), acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), and aspirin
  • Prescription medications including triptans, such as sumatriptan (Imitrex) and zolmitriptan (Zomig)
  • Preventive medications, such as metoprolol tartrate (Metoprolol, Lopressor), propranolol (Propranolol HCL), amitriptyline, divalproex sodium (Depakote, Depakote ER, Depakote Sprinkle) or topiramate (Topamax)
  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation (therapy using electrical currents to stimulate nerve cells in the brain) for migraine with aura

A tragic accident struck Gujarat’s Vadodara district on the morning of July 9, 2025, when a 43-year-old bridge collapsed without warning, sending multiple vehicles plunging into the Mahisagar River. At least 12 people lost their lives, including three members of a single family, and nine others were injured in the sudden and shocking incident that occurred around 7:30 am. The bridge, located in Mujpur village in Padra taluka, connected Central Gujarat to Saurashtra via Gambhira in Anand district. It was widely used by commuters hoping to avoid city traffic. On that fateful morning, an Eeco van, two trucks, a pickup van, an autorickshaw, and possibly two motorcycles were crossing when a section of the bridge gave way, according to officials on the scene.

Modi’s BJP Triumphs in Delhi After 27 Years, AAP Faces Crushing Defeat

By NDP newsroom
New Delhi – Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has secured a historic victory in Delhi, ending a 27-year-long wait to reclaim the state and delivering a resounding defeat to Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). The BJP’s landslide win signals a clear rejection of AAP’s governance and a strong endorsement of Modi’s leadership and development agenda. In the 70-seat Delhi Assembly, BJP secured 48 seats, while AAP’s tally collapsed from 63 in 2020 to just 22. The Congress party, once a dominant force in Delhi politics, failed to win a single seat for the third consecutive election. The results reflect growing voter discontent with AAP’s governance, corruption allegations, and political confrontations with the central government. As celebrations erupted at BJP offices, Modi took to X to declare, “Development wins, good governance triumphs.” Kejriwal, once seen as a formidable challenger to mainstream parties, suffered a personal and political blow by losing his ...
