As with any attempt to abort a CH attack these must be started at the first sign of pain.

Take a deep breath of air, hold it a few seconds then exhale as much as possible, even more than you think. Repeat until abort or failure.

Hyperventilate even to the point of feeling dizzy. Continue until abort or failure.

Apply ice (some preferr heat) to the back of the neck on CH side.

On CH side temple locate pulsating veins and apply pressure in an attempt to stop the pain.

Breathing cold air from an air conditioner or freezer can help with the above.

These things have worked for me at times but not always. For those with no meds they may be worth a try. The only thing to lose is pain.

Good Luck, Don

suprisingly sometimes this works but i do it in a funny way.in prone position in bed hagging the pillow and apply pressure with the pillow in all the ch side of the face and especially in the temple.or it's my idea,i cant never be sure with these things

Pushups... Doing as many as I can in one rep, I can feel relief sometimes within a minute or two. On the plus side, I can do like 40 pushups in a row now

Excercise has also worked for me.  Jumping jacks followed by dancing, dancing, dancing ... followed by more jumping jacks.  It seems the better you can get your blood flowing (any cardio excercise would probably work) brings the pain down a notch.  O2 is a seriously good abortive and is inexpensive ...... don't ever forget with a script you can purchase it yourself.
