Do you dread the onset of menopause, knowing it may bring hot flashes, mood swings, and sleepless nights? If you suffer from migraines, the hormonal changes of menopause may also trigger debilitating migraine attacks, leaving you feeling helpless and exhausted.
Don't let migraines control your life during this already stressful time. Read on to discover how you can tap into a natural and holistic source of migraine relief in Redwood City, so you don't feel limited by your hormone-related or menopausal migraines.
Migraines are different during each stage of a woman's life.
During puberty and adolescence, migraine symptoms are more likely to be caused by stress and hormones. As you get older, food allergies and hereditary factors can also play a role in how often you get migraines (though this is still up for debate)
During menopause--which happens between ages 45-55 on average--hormonal changes trigger headaches that feel like they're coming from deep within the brain itself. These headaches can be extremely painful but don't last long; they usually last less than an hour and can come back every few days or weeks for several months before going away completely.
Menopause is a time of extreme hormonal change, so it's no surprise that migraines can be triggered by those. Stress and lack of sleep can also play a role in triggering migraines during menopause.
Migraine symptoms tend to worsen before they get better during the menopausal transition period. Still, they usually start improving after age 50 or so--the same time, your estrogen levels level out and lessen their impact on migraine triggers like food cravings and sleep problems.
