Understanding Migraines

 Do you get migraines when you’re stressed? 

Do you experience headaches accompanied by nausea or visual changes?

Many people think migraines are just "bad headaches" or assume you have to have extreme symptoms for them to be considered migraines. Neither is true.

Migraines are much more complex than headaches.

What are Some Migraine Symptoms? 

While migraines are typically associated with more pain than headaches, that isn't their only distinction.
Migraines are often accompanied by a throbbing or pulsing feeling, nausea, elevated heart rate, visual changes, and many other symptoms. 


What Causes Migraines?

Migraines can be caused by lots of things - spinal issues, diet, exercise, stress, and more. The key is getting to the root of your specific migraines. The things that cause migraines – “triggers” – are things you can avoid to alleviate the frequency and intensity of your migraines.

The first step when identifying the cause of your migraines is to keep detailed logs. 


Here are the things you should be tracking:

  • Detailed Diet
  • Exercise 
  • Stress levels
  • Sleep Duration and Quality
  • Menstrual Cycle
  • The phase of the moon if none of the others helped.

You should track things that caused or alleviated the pain for a few weeks. We recommend a period of 60 days. Logging your lifestyle will help you understand what might be leading to your migraines and give you clues as to what to avoid.
