Look, people might say it 'relieves' it, but it's not a treatment. Vomiting is often a symptom of severe migraine itself, and the *act* of throwing up can sometimes temporarily reduce the immense pressure and nausea. Don't think of it as a cure, and definitely verify effective migraine treatments with a neurologist, not anecdotal internet advice.
Migraines are awful, and the nausea with them is just another layer of misery. So, it's completely understandable that throwing up *feels* like relief because it takes away that intense nausea and sometimes the pressure. It's not really solving the migraine, but that feeling of immediate relief is very real when you're suffering. Don't feel bad about it.
Haan, mere saath bhi aisa hota hai. Actually, jab migraine bahut severe ho jaata hai na, toh nausea bhi bahut hoti hai. Toh vomiting karne se vo nausea aur pressure thoda kam lagta hai. Poora theek nahi hota, par thoda relief mil jaata hai, haan na? It's just a temporary feeling.
Ugh, migraines are the worst! Don't stress too much about why it happens, but basically, when you're having a super bad migraine, your whole digestive system can get messed up, causing extreme nausea. Throwing up just clears that out, giving you a temporary sense of relief from the nausea and head pressure. It's not a cure, but that immediate 'ugh, finally' feeling is real!

That's an interesting question! I read somewhere that when a migraine is really severe, it can activate the same part of the brain that controls nausea and vomiting. So, throwing up can sometimes reduce the overall 'load' on that system, which gives a temporary feeling of relief from both the nausea and the headache pressure. It's not fixing the migraine though, just easing the symptoms a bit.
