Migraines
- What Causes Migraines?
The causes behind migraines, especially chronic ones, remain a mystery. While more research needs to be done, the consensus is migraines are often genetic or due to specific lifestyle or environmental factors.
Migraines can also be connected to other conditions, such as anxiety disorders or head and neck injuries. Conditions like these can have an effect on blood pressure, nerve signals, and/or neurotransmitter levels, which can then lead to migraine attacks.
- What are Common Migraine Triggers?
Sometimes we experience a migraine, and we have no idea what we did to startle it. There may not always be a specific “answer” as to why we have a migraine. However, there are certain triggers often deemed responsible for setting off a migraine headache.
Triggers of migraines may include:
- Stress or anxiety
- Tension in the jaw or neck
- Lack of sleep
- Hormone fluctuations
- Consumption of processed foods
- Too much caffeine
- Caffeine withdrawals
- Changes in weather
- Bright lights
- Loud noises
- Strong aromas
- Certain medications
- Migraine Prevention Protocols
General doctors and neurologists tend to have specific recommendations for migraines. One of the first words of advice they may have is to keep tabs on what you think might be causing your migraines. Taking note of your triggers can help you mindfully prevent migraine attacks in the future.
Migraines may also be prevented or reduced with healthy diet, proper sleep, and a reduction or stress or anxiety. For migraines considered frequent, severe, or generally debilitating, seeking medical attention is important to receive personalized advice and treatment based on your specific situation.
