5.Trigger: Anxiety and Stress
Emotional stress is a common trigger of migraine headaches. While it’s impossible to completely avoid stress, relaxation exercises can help you cope. Inhale and exhale slowly, letting the air fill you and then deflate like a balloon. Some people find that thinking of a peaceful scene or listening to favorite music can help.
6.Trigger: Lack of Food or Sleep
It’s important for people prone to migraine headaches to have a regular pattern of meals and sleep. Low blood sugar from skipping meals can trigger a migraine. Eating too much sugar also can cause a spike, then a «crash» in blood sugar. Drink water throughout the day to avoid dehydration and sleep at least six to eight hours a night.
