I can't comment on many migraine medications as most haven't worked or just put me to sleep, but one, a beta blocker, brought on a severe attack of asthma. It lasted three days & wouldn't respond to any asthma medications. The weird thing is I don't have asthma or even any allergies. Maybe that's why the asthma meds didn't ease it.
So before taking a beta blocker, makes sure you don't have asthma, or any family history of asthma. It was no fun. I relaise my reaction was very unusual, but beta blockers are contraindicated for those with a history of asthma & respiratory allergies.
