Migraine Trigger List
* Exposure to smoke, including cigarette, cigar, and even inside or outside fires
* Allergic reactions and personal allergy triggers, such as pet dander or pollen
* Bright, flashing lights, such as those in a concert hall
* Loud noises
* Strong odors or perfumes
* Lack of sleep or irregular sleep
* Skipping meals or fasting to the point of hunger
* Hormonal fluctuations, including menstrual cycles or the onset of menopause
* Tension and physical or emotional stress
Migraine Food Triggers
* Alcohol, specifically beer and red wine
* Foods containing monosodium glutamate (MSG) or nitrates, particularly bacon, hot dogs, and
* Salami
* Foods containing tyramine, which include red wine, aged cheese, smoked meats, figs, and some
* Beans
In addition, foods such as chocolate, nuts, peanut butter, avocado, banana, citrus, onions, dairy products and pickled foods are commonly known to be migraine triggers. It is important to know this fact (which really sucks to be honest): triggers do not always cause a migraine to start, so avoiding your triggers will not always prevent your migraines. Identifying and avoiding your triggers can only take you part of the way to preventing migraines. Dealing with the struggles of pain caused by migraines is the real issue to tackle. For as long as Ive had migraines and been in contact with others experiencing these same problems, the answer always falls back on heating and cooling therapies; Thats right, the ol’ ice pack, there is nothing better.
Interestingly enough there is finally a solution to leaking ice packs and dangerous heating pads. The product might just be one of the most revolutionary advances in therapeutic pain relief within the past 20 years.
