This is a type of a headache that can attack you suddenly, without a warning, and it is very painful.
For some individuals, they suddenly can’t see anything except for blurry spots, whereas others get a pounding headache, which forces them to lie down for the remainder of the day.
Other symptoms include light sensitivity, nausea, and vomiting.
If you frequently suffer from these excruciatingly painful headaches, there’s one thing you can do to prevent the frequent occurrence of migraines.
Various studies in the past have been conducted that have revealed what can trigger an occurrence of a migraine.
Some studies have pointed to weather changes, especially if you live in the hot temperate regions, and consuming excessive amounts of sugar in a one to two day period.
Change of serotonin levels in the brain, or a drop or rise in blood flow to the brain, could be another culprit that causes migraines.
However, there is a new finding showing that a deficiency in folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and vitamin D, could be the cause of frequent migraines.
In fact, the absence of these vitamins from your diet can increase your risk of migraines by 300%.
Hence, it is imperative that you ensure you’re getting the most of your body’s recommended vitamin intake.
The following foods have also been confirmed to trigger migraines:
-Avocados
-Anchovies
-Bananas
-Cheese (aged)
-Caffeine
-Citrus Fruit
-Chocolate
-Figs
-Lentils
-Peas
-Peanuts

Fatigue and lack of sleep can also trigger a migraine.
