CAUSES AND TRIGGERS

Sooner or later most people identify migraine triggers and therefore don’t need to record them. In the majority of people triggers include: • Skipping meals / dehydration • Altered sleep pattern / sleep deprivation • Reduction in stress from one day to the next • Fluctuating hormone levels (e.g. Oestrogen in women) Some triggers are less obvious and probably only occur in the minority of people: • Changes in weather • Certain foods and drinks

Although interesting – this information is unlikely to guide a Healthcare Professional.​

Life is simply too short! Food diaries are generally not useful in the majority of people with migraine!
