Stress & Migraine Attacks
Five million people in the U.S experience at least one migraine attack per month. Dr. Patricia Feito, Family Medicine Physician at Baptist Health Primary Care, says the biggest trigger is stress. "We can't deny that obesity and being overweight are conditions that trigger migraines but stress is an utmost primary thing that we look at when we're dealing with migraine triggers," she explains.
She points out a migraine is a headache, it is an intense throbbing symptom that occurs in areas of the brain and it has a lot to do with electrical conduction of the brain attached to vascular circulation, causing either constriction or dilation.
