Migraines are a type of headache that is characterized by severe throbbing pain on one side of the head, unlike regular headaches. The main causes behind this can be:
Hormonal changes: Changes in estrogen hormone during menstruation or pregnancy are the main cause of migraines. Migraines increase in many people in the days before menstruation.
Dietary changes: Skipping meals can cause migraines. In addition, drinking excessive amounts of coffee and eating foods with artificial sweeteners and preservatives can increase pain.
Environmental factors: Excessive sunlight, strong odors (perfumes, paint), intense light, and loud noises can cause pain to quickly trigger in people with migraines.
Stress and insomnia: Excessive stress, workload, not getting enough sleep on time or sleeping too long can cause chemical changes in the brain and trigger migraine pain.
Weather changes: Increased humidity and sudden weather changes can affect people with migraines.
