Migraines are on the most common and debilitating conditions in the world, yet they are often dismissed as “just a headache” and not treated as serious as it should be. Maybe it has something to do with the fact you cannot see the problem as you could with an obvious injury or physical ailment.

Statistics show that one in seven people will suffer from migraines with women three times as likely as men to have regular episodes. The damage ongoing migraines can have on a person’s physical and mental health cannot be overstated, so finding a way to get on top of it is critical.

One of the most frustrating things associated with this condition is finding out what triggers the migraine attack. We like to look at things with cause and effect and blame the last thing you did before the attack as the culprit but often the problem started well before the pain started.

There are so many factors to consider and in the video I try to explain what they main ones are. You will find more detail about each of these in the links below.

In the book “Managing your Migraine” by Dr Katy Munro she says on page 33, “It is more helpful to think of triggers adding together to irritate the brain, pushing its sensitivity towards a threshold. Once the threshold is breached, a migraine attack starts to roll”.

I think that is a great way to look for the various factors contributing to your problem, and you can already start to see how valuable a migraine diary can be for identifying these patterns.

Be patient in your endeavour to uncover the trigger for you may find that there is not one definitive pattern that always provokes the attack. It could be culmination of events that led up to the overload and it is your job to try and control these events as best as you can.
