Watch Out for 3 Key Factors That Trigger Migraine

Migraine headache is characterized by a throbbing pain, which may occur on one side or both sides of the head. Initially, the pain may be mild but gradually increases in intensity and frequency. Some patients may also experience accompanying symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, weakness, or numbness. The primary cause of migraine headaches is linked to excessive levels of CGRP (Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide), a precursor substance that causes excessive pain in the brain.

More than 50% of migraine sufferers can clearly identify specific triggering factors that lead to headaches.

If headaches occur frequently and lifestyle adjustments do not help, it is important to consult a doctor for proper assessment and effective treatment options.
