Do you know Your Migraine triggers.. Avoid Them..

Your migraine triggers may be simple, but so hard to figure out. To help migraines, pay attention to your migraine symptoms, and what you did up to several days before your migraine attack begin.

It may be something you eat or drink, missing meals, sleep, overloaded with stress, or something as simple as a caffeine migraine.

One by itself may not send your blood vessels in to overdrive, but a combination of several will definitely do it.

Somewhere above your ear is the hypothalamus. It is believed that the hypothalamus (big word isn't it?), is the most obvious candidate for the migraine control center.

It receives a constant flow of what can be your migraine triggers.

Stress, hormones, dietary triggers, bright lights, strong odors, and sleep disturbance end up here.

To give you an example, in another page we told about a friend that found out she couldn't eat aged cheese, it was giving her migraines, another friend was allergic to her sons cologne, and one said she and her boyfriend argued all the time, and when they broke up, she never had a migraine after that.

Do you see the connection with these friends, and the hypothalamus?

One of the first things to do is see if there is a food or beverage. that's giving you migraines. Go to this page, and study it. Print it off, and see if you are consuming something(food or drink) on this page. About all of us do.

These foods indirectly reach the head, and work havoc on the blood vessels. It may be just one or two that are doing this.

Eliminate all to begin with. Yes, you can still have plenty of foods.

To make it easy, you can find everything you want to eat in easy to follow recipes in one of the books to the right. And more info on migraine triggers.

These adjustments are easy to make. One may have to give up a food that they love, in order to avoid migraines.

Migraine triggers such as stress can be helped somewhat. That will help a great deal.

Also think about the environment. Being in contact with cigarette smoke, perfumes, sleeping to much on weekends, or not enough the rest of the week.

All of these could be raising the threshold. And it wouldn't take much more to give one a migraine.

Tension, and stress are famous for this. You can feel the headache, and you add one more of the migraine triggers to it, and what have you got?

This is not a migraine trigger, but if taken to often, and to much will get your migraines out of control.

#(2)Cut out the food, and beverages that tend to trigger migraines if found.

#(3)Ease away from stressful situations if possible, and in a month or so, see if you feel better.

#(4)Also, take preventive medicine, if you don't. Feel the results. This should help.
