If you suffer from occasional migranes...
Do you know what your triggers are?
I have had a migrane for the last 18 hours and I am only starting to feel better now. I can't seem to think what might have triggered it, I only get 1-2 migranes a year and I am keen to find out why.
TIA!

Sometimes its stress, sometimes lack of sleep, hormones, red wine, nitrates.

I get them often. Stress/tension is a huge trigger for me. As is not eating. My sister gets them from hormones and my cousin gets them from too much caffeine.

Re: If you suffer from occasional migranes...
Mine are triggered by light. If I am in the sun or under fluorescent lighting for too long I get a migraine.

My DH gets migraines and one of his triggers are large flucuations in the barometric pressure. My friend has the same trigger...
Another one for both of them is cigarette/cigar smoke...

Re: If you suffer from occasional migranes...
I get them from not eating, stress and not enough caffeine.
I also know that I need to get my eyes checked/prescription updated when I start getting them.
feel better!

Re: If you suffer from occasional migranes...
Triggers I am still learning about so they aren't all fine tuned:
Time of the month
Too much sleep (for certain!)
Cheese/milk/dairy
Too much white sugar
Too much white flour

For me stress, weather, if I am grinding my teeth a lot. Also if I have anything with MSG it will trigger one.

Re: If you suffer from occasional migranes...
I get mine from caffine, stress, weather changes, hormones, or sometimes fumes (like buses, when I take my students on field trips) I also heard that too much citrus could be trigger also.

Re: If you suffer from occasional migranes...
Thanks for your input everyone! I think it was a double stress and teeth grinding issue.
