Feedback:
Although the pathophysiology of migraines is not well understood, it is thought that hormone levels, particularly estrogen levels, may underlie their increased prevalence in women. Fluctuations in hormone levels, particularly in estrogen levels, are thought to play a role in the pattern of migraine attacks. For many women, migraine headaches coincide with their menstrual periods. The greater predominance of migraine headaches in women is thought to be related to the aggravating effect of estrogen on the migraine mechanism. Dietary substances, such as monosodium glutamate, aged cheese, and chocolate, also may precipitate migraine headaches. Yoga, piercings, and drinking white wine are not known to be triggers for migraines.
