BRENDA MARSHALL, MD

What triggers a migraine?

Migraine triggers vary from person to person, but some common ones include:

  • Hormonal changes (especially in women during menstruation or perimenopause)
  • Certain foods like aged cheese, chocolate, and processed meats
  • Caffeine (either too much or withdrawal from it)
  • Stress or lack of sleep
  • Bright lights, loud noises, or strong smells
  • Weather changes or barometric pressure shifts

Keeping a migraine diary can help identify personal triggers so you can work on avoiding them.
