Linking STRESS and MIGRAINE // The Biochemical CONNECTIONS to the Most Common Trigger!

Today, let's dive into the fascinating link between stress and migraines and uncover the science behind it. There are six intriguing hypotheses that connect these two, shedding light on why stress often triggers those painful migraines.

First, stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline are major players. They can mess with your blood flow and vessel constriction, which are closely tied to migraine attacks.

Another key player is muscle tension. Stress often cranks up the tension in your neck and shoulders, which can pull on your head, leading to tension-style headaches that can escalate into full-blown migraines.

But here's the twist – migraines don't just give you a wicked headache; they mess with your brain chemistry. They tinker with neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and glutamate, all of which have a role to play in this migraine puzzle.

And here's a bonus revelation: migraines can make your skin hypersensitive, so it's not just your imagination when you feel like your clothes are plotting against you during a migraine.

If you're eager to explore the science behind this migraine misery, watch the video and join us as we dissect the mysteries of stress and migraines, one hypothesis at a time. Stick around for the ride!
