Light at the end of the tunnel..

Because migraine is a very complicated condition we don't yet fully understand it. Doctors and scientists have found out that the symptoms of migraine are caused by changes in the blood vessels and neurotransmitters in the brain. However they don't yet know exactly what causes these changes in certain people at certain times.

There are some things that we know can cause migraine in some people and these are called triggers.

Here is a list of some of the triggers we know about.

Triggers are not the same for everyone. For some people one trigger will cause a migraine but for most people migraine happens when a few of the triggers all come together at once!

You may be more likely to get a migraine if someone else in your family like your Mum, Dad or Gran suffers from migraine.
