Did you know women are more than twice as likely to suffer from migraines than men? Most suffers experience migraine attacks once or twice a month but over 4 million have chronic daily attacks at least 15 days a month.

Even though the causes of migraines are not understood completely, it is believed that both genetics and environmental factors are part of the equation. Below is a list of some things that may be triggers for some people:

• Hormone Changes: Fluctuations in estrogen levels can sometimes be a cause. These tend to happen before or during menstrual periods, pregnancy and even menopause.
• Stress: Americans live with many stress factors at both home and work. These can sometimes have an effect.
• Sleep Changes: A lack of sleep and too much sleep can both be a cause. Even jet lag has similar effects, with respect to getting migraines.
• Physical Activities: Intense physical activity that leads to great physical exertion can have an effect, as well.
• Oral Consumption: Food, beverages, and even medication can have an effect on people.
• Stimulated Senses: Bright lights, a glaring sun, strong perfumes, fumes from paints and paint thinners, second-hand smoke and even loud noises can all have an effect.
