Do You know the Cause of Migraine for You!!

The cause of migraine isn't understood to well. We know that the actual cause is due to abnormal brain chemistry.

You are either a migraine sufferer or you're not. No in betweens.

Migraines may be caused by changes in the trigeminal nerve, a major pain pathway.

Imbalances in brain chemicals, including serotonin, which helps regulate pain in your nervous system, also may be involved.

You probably want to know what are some of the factors that can trigger your headache.

There are quite a few.

We may find you some help. What could have an effect on the trigeminal nerve, how about serotonin? We already know on our other pages how certain foods trigger migraines.

One cause of migraine is some of the food we consume.

How could that delicious food

Or it could be that great tasting diet drink (aspartame), that you drank with the hot dog. Make no mistake, these two, plus many more can be the reason that you wake up in the morning, and have a migraine.

Another cause of migraine in women is hormonal

Fluctuations in estrogen seem to trigger headaches in many women with known migraines.

Women with a history of migraines often report headaches immediately before, or during their periods.

That is because they have a major drop in estrogen.

Hormonal medications, such as oral contraceptives, and hormone replacement therapy may worsen migraines in some women, while others find it's beneficial to take them.

Stress and sensory stimuli are more causes of migraines by triggering them

If you're stressed out at your job (and who isn't), or you and your spouse are having a rough time, this can easily bring on migraines.Does your work place have bright lights?

How about working in the sun, this provokes migraines?

Did you know that perfume, paint thinner, and secondhand smoke, can also trigger migraines. The more we take care of ourselves and find our triggers that are raising our thresholds to the point of migraines, the more pain free we will be.

The cause of migraine in some people can be by the four curprits below

Pay attention to your medicines.

Some can aggravate your migraines, and make them hurt more.

Read what your pill bottle side effects are, and if your head hurts more, or you get a migraine after you take your medicine, that's one to change.

You can't change the weather or barometric pressure, but they can give you a migraine to.

Intense physical exertion, including sexual activity, may provoke migraines in some migraineurs. Don't cut either one out, just tone it down a little.

One more cause of a migraine is jet lag.

And here is one that I think bothers my wife, which is an irregular sleep pattern. One night getting to much sleep, and another not getting enough.

We have found that the cause of migraine, as a Doctor told my wife (she had to much rapid firing brain activity), is what goes on in a migraineurs head.

What you want to find out in here, and possibly cut out, is what that something is, that triggers your migraine. Our last page tells of more causes of migraines and our next page is page is about what? More aboutwhat causes migraines.
