Who Can Get Migraines?

Women are three times more likely than men to get migraines because of hormones. Dr. Patricia Feito, Family Medicine Physician at Baptist Health Primary Care, says estrogen plays a very big role and some symptoms of migraines can get better after menopause, because hormones drop. People with family history of migraines and with other medical conditions, like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, sleep disorders and epilepsy are also more likely to get migraines.
