What foods cause migraines? answers (1559)

A: Migraine triggers. I hope that this helps....

A: 1. I''ve had migraines for years, as has just about everyone in my family. The common triggers are light (screens are the worst for me), stress, alcohol and loud noises. As far as diet goes, I have to make sure I''m hydrated and not drinking too much but that''s about it. Your doctor is probably talking about a deficiency of some sort or implying that you just need a healthier diet. I''ve experienced far fewer migraines when I eat regularly and eat a variety of healthy foods. 2. GREASY FATTY foods LOADED WITH MSG WILL cause MIGRAINES. LOOKING AT what YOUR DIET IS I WOULD SAY ITS POSSIBLY THE TEA. YOU CAN BE DOING A LOT OF CAFFEINE THROUGH OUT THE DAY AND THIS CAN BE CAUSING YOUR HEADACHES....

A: 1. I'm not sure about the cause. But I know when I get a migraine I drink caffiene and that helps me a little, I also try to stay away from a lot of light and go into a darker space. 2. stress 3. Most migraines are attributed to food allergies and food additives. Most people seem to settle in on a particular diet of the same foods.

A: 1. It isn't known. It's connected with some genetic abnormalities, maybe it's vascular disease... there are many supposes, but no definitive solution. For prophylaxis, beta blockers are recommended. 2. There are numerous causes for migrains. That's why there are so many types of migrain medications. Some people get migrains as a response to stress or exhaustion. Others are just prone to getting them for no reason. There a people that don't have migrains until some type of brain trama occurs. One way to try and solve the problem is when you get one, write down where you are, what you were doing when it happened, and the time of day. After 10 or so instances, take a look and see if there is any kind of similarities. Take...

A: Hello Elaine, citrus can be a trigger for some Migraineurs - it definitely is for me.  But the best person to answer this question is you.  And the best way to do that is to keep a food diary, recording what and when you eat/drink, as well as the onset and intensity of your pain.  It can be tedious but it''s definitely worth it if you can eliminate what is making you ill, and lessen your pain.   Be well, Jasmine...

A: There are very many elements and conditions that can bring on migraine headaches, which can be accompanied by other things such as vomiting and dizziness. * Sleep patterns: Oversleeping can bring on a headache, as so can napping when you didn''t have a headache when laying down. Sleeping in an odd position can also bring on headaches. * Smells: Many people are sensitive to smells. This can include air fresheners, scented candles, perfume and cologne. * Chewing Gum: This has happened to me before, chewing gum can cause tension and bring on a headache. * Caffeine: Too little or too less can cause migraines. *Not eating: Some people have so much trouble with this, they have started eating more frequently. * Alcohol and smoking: Carbon...

A: Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is probably public enemy number one when it comes to food additives and migraines.

A: Whoa! 25 odd years in the field of neurology has given me the experience to diagnose this. A headache AND a bloodshot eye is a tell-tale sign of an intracranial tumor, otherwise known as brain cancer. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but a tumor of this type is inoperable. At the most, you have about 3 months to live. Don''t bother wasting your money on a doctor, it''s too late for you. By the signs and symptoms you are describing it appears you have migraine diseases. Which is a throbbing or pulsating headache that is often one sided (unilateral) and associated with nausea; vomiting; sensitivity to light, sound, and smells; sleep disruption; and depression. Attacks are often recurrent and tend to become less severe as the migraine sufferer ages. A migraine headache typically begins in...

A: Ocular migraines are migraines involving the eyes. They can manifest in several ways with a variety of symptoms, and neurologists use the term slightly differently, which can lead to some confusion. As a general rule, an instance of severe visual disruption is classified as an ocular migraine, whether or not it is accompanied by pain. Most people seek the attention of an ophthalmologist after experiencing ocular migraines because of the vision related symptoms, but they should also visit a neurologist. A neurologist may be able to determine the root cause and make recommendations for preventing the recurrence of ocular migraines. Often, no pain is associated with ocular migraines. Instead, the field of vision is severely disrupted. Flashing...
