At this point you may be a little skeptical that magnesium migraines can be from a deficiency of magnesium.

After you read its functions you will see that out of twenty eight million headache/migraine sufferers, there may be thousands, or even millions of migraines/headaches because of what a few dollars could solve.

Think about this.

You go to your doctor, and tell him you are having migraines. The average doctor will prescribed you something such as triptans because he knows that is a good abortive.

Then he may, and probably will, start you on a preventive or two because that will cut down on your migraine attacks.

What if you had taken twenty dollars worth of magnesium supplements to start with, and that was your problem .Hm

Here is what low in magnesium can do to you.

If your low in magnesium it can't counteract the clotting action of calcium on the blood. Tiny blood clots are said to clog up tiny brain blood vessels,thus leading to migraines.

Low brain magnesium promotes hyperactivity, and nerve excitation that also leads to headaches/migraines.

And if that isn't enough, being low on magnesium , and having several conditions such as being pregnant, drugs, drinking alcohol, and menstruation (women) can trigger migraines.

Changing your mind now on the connection between magnesium and migraines?

Here are just a few things that magnesium does to help your migraines.

You know that the spasms, and constrictions of blood vessels causes migraines. Magnesium relaxes the blood vessels, and allows them to dilate ,thus no spasms.

With the right amount of magnesium the neurotransmitters, and inflammatory substances in the brain are regulated. These play a role in migraines when they are unbalanced, and relief when the right amount of magnesium is present.

Magnesium also relaxes muscles, and prevents the build up of lactic acid, and along with muscle tension can make more head pain.

Now you see why magnesium and migraines run hand in hand.

Below is a study that Dr.Mauskop did. Here is what's said.

Dr. Mauskop has spent close to 20 years researching the link between magnesium and headaches. In the early 1990s it seemed clear that low levels of magnesium in the blood were linked to several types of headaches. By the mid 1990s, a series of studies conducted by Dr. Mauskop, using a new testing technique that measured ionized magnesium had proven conclusively that a lack of magnesium was a factor in several types of headaches. The next step was to determine whether giving magnesium could help eliminate those headaches.

In a blinded study, 86 percent of those deficient in magnesium who received magnesium infusion experienced dramatic relief from their headaches. Dr. Mauskop and other researchers then performed additional studies, all of which found that many headache sufferers had low levels of ionized magnesium, and that taking magnesium (intravenously or orally) offered significant relief.
