Migraine Headache CausesWhat are Migraine Headache Causes? This is a fantastic question. But lets be sure we are talking about "cause" not something else. What causes headaches is often confused with a trigger. And there is a world of difference between dealing with migraine triggers and up rooting the underlying cause of migraine headaches. 
Migraine TriggersA migraine trigger is any factor that "initiates" a headache in individuals who are susceptible. Not all migraine sufferers, however, can clearly identify triggers.Examples of triggers include stress, blood sugar disturbances, lack of sleep, hormones, bright or flickering lights, odors, alcohol, aged cheeses, chocolate, monosodium glutamate, nitrites, aspartame, caffeine and cigarette smoke. For some women, the decline in the blood level of estrogen during the onset of her menstrual cycle can be a trigger for migraine headaches. The time lapse between exposure to a trigger and the onset of headache varies from hours to two days. Exposure to a trigger does not cause a migraines every time. Conversely, avoidance of triggers cannot completely prevent headaches. This is because the causes of migraines may be in place, it takes little to set you off, if the cause is removed, then all the triggers dont have an effect. Different migraine sufferers respond to different migraine triggers, and any one trigger will not induce a headache in every person who has migraine headaches. Read more about migraine triggers here.
