Nearly 30 million Americans (12 percent of Americans population) experience migraine. Studies vary little from country to country, with most showing the same prevalence of migraine as in the US. In the American studies, 18 percent of women and 8 percent of men surveyed said they had experienced a migraine attack in the previous 3 months.
A migraine causes influences the brain in such a way that
it sets off a migraine attack. Just as an asthma attack can
be caused by a cat for someone allergic to cat dander, a
migraine attack can be caused by,
for example, a missed meal, a late night.
The difference is that a migraine
trigger is not caused by an allergy. There are many
migraine triggers, both from the external environment and
from within the body. Common causes are
- stress
- lack of sleep
- missed meals
- menstruation
- and foods such as cheese or chocolate.
Being aware of migraine causes helps you avoid migraine and control the frequency of migraine attacks.
