Recent TikTok trends promote ordering a large Coca-Cola and fries from McDonald's to alleviate migraines, dubbed the 'McMigraine meal.' Neurologist Jessica Lowe explains that caffeine in the Coca-Cola may act as a vasoconstrictor, potentially stopping migraines. The fries provide electrolytes and carbohydrates, which can also help relieve symptoms. However, individuals should remain cautious as caffeine and fast food can sometimes trigger migraines instead. It is advisable to consult healthcare providers for migraine management, even if the McDonald's option seems tempting.
Caffeine acts as a vasoconstrictor-meaning it narrows blood vessels, which helps counter the dilation that occurs during a migraine.
A large coke from McDonald's has about 80 milligrams of caffeine in it. That right there is probably enough to stop your migraine in its tracks.
