Women + Migraines: The Hormone Connection
Women are 3x more likely to experience migraines than men... and we can likely thank our hormones for that. ⠀
Migraines usually occur more frequently in the days just before or during your period. This is because of the fluctuation in estrogen levels. Birth control pills can also impact migraines.⠀
⠀
Other migraine triggers - stress, lack of sleep, neck tension, irregular eating, certain foods (foods that contain nitrates like processed meats, alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, cheese, citrus fruits), high/low blood sugar, and dehydration.⠀
