How does stress trigger migraine?
Stress is a feeling that some are all too familiar with. If you have migraine, you may be among the nearly 70% of people whose migraine attacks are triggered by stress.
Constantly being stressed about when a migraine attack may strike, and pain causing stress, can lead to a never ending cycle of stress and migraine pain. If that wasn’t enough, you may experience a “let down” migraine after taking a weekend off, due to your body having a sudden drop in chronic stress.
Breaking the cycle by learning strategies to reduce stress may help you better manage your migraine attacks.
What are some ways to cope with stress?
1.
If you find that stress has been triggering migraine attacks, talk to a doctor and start keeping a migraine journal.
This will put you on the right track to finding the appropriate medication for you.
2.
Make a list of things that stress you out or cause tension.
Whether it be a messy living space or getting too many notifications on your phone, try to start actively reducing these stressors in your day-to-day life.
3.
Start to integrate stress-relieving activities into your life.
Exercising, maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, relaxation, biofeedback therapy, and meditation are all great ways to manage stress.
