Migraine Headache Triggers


Migraine Triggers

Migraines are often associated with triggers such as not eating, perfumes, eating certain cheeses, white or red wine and poor sleep quality. Migraine medications are unique in their action upon the nervous system. A headache specialist should be consulted whenever the treatment of more prolonged and difficult-to-manage headache syndromes is required.

Alcoholic beverages

Alcohol may be the most common dietary trigger. Red wine and beer are among the most likely to cause problems.
