The main factors that cause migraine can be divided into two:
1. Underlying Causes
Genetics: If your parents or close relatives have migraines in your family, you are more likely to get it.
Chemical changes in the brain: Changes in the levels of neurotransmitters such as serotonin in the brain cause pain.
Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes that occur in women during menstruation or pregnancy can trigger migraines.
2. Triggers (Migraine-causing situations)
Those with migraines can help reduce pain by avoiding the following situations:
Diet: Excessive caffeine consumption (tea/coffee), chocolate, foods with ajinomoto, and alcohol.
Lack of sleep: Lack of sleep or oversleeping can trigger migraines.
Mental stress: Excessive workload, anxiety, anger, etc.
Environmental causes: Strong sunlight, excessive light, loud noise, strong smells of perfumes.
Travel: Long-distance travel can trigger migraines in some people.
