Symptom of Menopause - Migraine Headaches

Hormonal changes and stress could trigger migraine headaches. Several treatment options are available to tackle this problem from both fronts.

Treatments: Try to cut down on or relieve stress by writing in a journal about the events that trigger your headaches. Transform stress and anger through meditation or yoga on a regular basis. Try to pinpoint any potential trigger foods such as nuts, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, alcohol, refined sugars, and dairy.

Balance your hormone levels with progesterone creams and diets high in soy. You may also want to consider hormone replacement therapy. You may also want to avoid other environmental factors such as bright lights, loud noises, lack of sleep, and strenuous activity which tend to trigger migraines.
