The simple reason could be that for some people food is a triggering factor of migraine. Once the food is thrown up, the pain is automatically relieved.Or it just could be shifting your attention from the pain while trying to vomit. It releases the intracranial pressure.Relieving factors differ from individual to individual

I'm really curious about something to do with migraines. When you have a migraine headache and you touch your forehead, is it supposed to feel hot or cold? I'm trying to understand what the typical sensation is during these headaches. Would love to hear your thoughts.

vDuring a migraine, the forehead is often warm or hot to the touch due to vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), which is a characteristic feature of migraines, although some people may experience a cold or clammy sensation, particularly if they are experiencing nausea or anxiety.
