Migraine is a condition that causes severe pain and other discomfort, unlike a normal headache. This pain can last for hours or days. The main causes are:
Hormonal changes: Migraines are more common in women due to hormonal changes. Changes in the estrogen hormone during menstruation or pregnancy can cause severe headaches.
Food and drinks: Excessive consumption of caffeine (Coffee/Tea), foods like chocolate and cheese can increase migraines in some people. Artificial sweeteners (Aspartame) and preservatives in foods (MSG) can cause headaches.
Mental stress and lack of sleep: Excessive stress, workload, and anxiety can trigger migraines. Not sleeping on time and sleeping too much can lead to chemical changes in the brain and cause pain.
Changes in the environment: Strong sunlight, flickering lights, loud noises, and strong odors (perfume, paint) are triggers for migraine sufferers.
Weather changes: Sudden exposure to extreme heat or cold can affect the body’s nervous system. Changes in atmospheric pressure can also increase pain in people who are prone to migraines.
