Dr. Saleeby's Blog: Headaches
Dr. Saleeby's Blog: Headaches:
"Females are almost three times more likely to suffer from migraine headaches than are men.
There are a wide variety of things that may trigger a migraine. Hunger, fatigue, bright light, alcohol, caffeine, excitement or stress, birth control pills, perfumes and certain foods are all examples of triggers. A woman's fluctuation in hormones due to her menstrual cycle can also be a factor."
My Take:
With birth control pills, menstrual cycles, and perfumes as known migraine triggers, no wonder women are at greater risk. The first 2 are fixed for most women, so concentrate on the perfume -- determine if you are sensitive to it, and if so, eliminate it.
