Could your migraines be linked to your period?

Question

Migraines afflict approximately 21 million women in the United States—three times more women than men.

So it makes sense that women’s migraines may be hormonally related. Studies have suggested that for many women, migraines may have something to do with changes in hormone levels, which normally occur right before your period starts.

This hormone-related migraine is often referred to as a Menstrual Migraine.

Menstrual Migraines have been reported to be more severe than migraines that occur at other times, may persist longer, and may occur more frequently.

I can't really remember the last time I had a migraine. I never usually get them.

Answer 9

That's funny, never heard of that and never experienced it during my period. But for quite some time I had vomited with a VERY weak stomach during my period. And everytime I get it, I get cramps that span from my back to my front-especially near the bladder area. It hurts so bad and I hate it.

But my period has adjusted and I feel I have taught myself to almost control it. It's like, a mind thing, so now when I get my period I hardly ever get tired or vomit, or get cramps. Hopefully I get it right before Ramadan because I certainly don't want it to ruin my Ramadan and fasting experience this year.
