Migraine - Fast of Gedaliah
Question
Is a person who suffers from migraines obligated to fast on the Fast of Gedaliah?
Answer
Shalom u'vrachah
A migraine with severe pain that weakens the entire body exempts one from the fast.
If this is the stage before the migraine, and taking a pill will help prevent it from developing, one should take a pill and continue fasting as much as possible.
