Do you have a migraine? Have a coke! Most people think I’m crazy when I tell them that ironically drinking a bottle of coke-cola actually rids me of a migraine.
I have been suffering from migraine headache for a number of years. I was once on medication for my migraines. My headaches are thankfully not as bad as they once was.
Now, drinking a bottle of ice cold coke-cola along with taking two Advil tablets helps with the migraine pain at the onset of my migraine.
Quoting from an article written by Heather L. Robertson:
“Did you know that caffeine was once used as a treatment for headaches? Having a coca-cola when your headache first starts can help suppress a headache by its blood constricting properties.”
Full article at Caffeine Headaches
The caffeine is coke-cola is able to shrink your dilated blood vessels – the source of the uncomfortable throbbing pain.
The next time you feel a migraine coming on, drink a can of coke-cola.
Coca-cola- a migraine headache remedy!

I can really testify to the power of caffeine here, especially for coffee addicts like me.
I found that at the height of my caffeine addiction if I missed my morning coffee I would start to get a headache. When I caught it early enough I would have a coffee or a coke and be just fine only an hour or so later.
It can go the other way too though, I have since cut back my coffee and don’t get near as many headaches/migraines any more. But I totally hear ya..

Josh I have one coffee or tea a day. At the most 2. I don’t intake a lot of caffeine. Likely why I too don’t get as many migraines as I once did.

Hi Rose. This a remedy I could get used to, being a Coca Cola lover. I don’t drink pop often, but when I do, Coke is my first choice. Something else I’ve learned that helps with migraines is to keep your feet warm. A shiatsu therapist recommended this and it worked for me.

I don’t drink brown colas often. I do prefer pop without the caffeine, but if I have a migraine- pass me an ice cold cola.
Socks on and still a migraine.

Makes you sort of wonder why Coke aren’t pushing this in their ads. Perhaps it doesn’t work for everybody?

I’m not surprised by this. If you intake a lot of caffeine, then stop, whoa, those headaches are vicious. I like to take aspirin at the start of a headache and visualize my blood vessels opening up. But the one thing that really makes me feel better is children’s [or junior strength] tylenol chewables. I’m sure it’s all in my head, but it works.

So, last night my daughter was complaining that her head hurt and nothing seemed to be working. Of course I remembered your post and quickly got her a Coke. Voila! She was feeling much better.
Personally, I think she was going through caffeine withdrawals.
