Headaches & Migraines

. Individual Factors
Hormones
The hormones that some women take may be the culprits behind
headaches and migraines. We mentioned earlier that migraines
usually begin around the age of puberty and then taper off during the
menopausal phase that women go through.
The menstrual period can trigger migraines in some women, and
many women who normally don’t suffer from migraines report having
some kind of headache during their periods. In some cases, the drop
in estradiol during menstruation causes women to suddenly develop
migraines.18

Irregular Body Rhythm
Each individual comes equipped with a “biological clock” that
dictates eating, sleeping and waking events. When these events are
disrupted – like during jet lag – a headache or migraine may result.
Sleeping – individuals who are predisposed to migraines may
wake up in the morning with a headache. Anything that disrupts
normal sleeping patterns may cause headaches. For example,
some people notice that their migraines occur during weekends.
This can be attributed to sleeping at later hours during the
weekends, or when they are more relaxed (yes, migraines can
occur not only during periods of stress, but also during periods of
relaxation).
