Feedback:
Research on the cause of migraines is ongoing; however, changes in reproductive hormones (menstruation) and particular food/beverages can be a trigger for some clients. Nausea is a symptom of a migraine. Exposure to bright light and changes in environmental temperature are not triggers for migraine headaches. Prolonged positioning can cause muscle fatigue and strain that trigger tension headaches.
