Hello Doctor,
I've been experiencing migraines more frequently recently, and I've noticed that they seem to worsen during times when I'm feeling particularly stressed or anxious. Could psychological factors like stress or anxiety trigger migraines, or is there another reason for this connection?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. Yes, psychological factors can significantly exacerbate migraines, especially stress and other emotional factors. Work-related stress, family or relationship difficulties, anxiety, and depression are common triggers for migraines. These factors can not only initiate migraines but also prolong them, increase their intensity, and disrupt your overall well-being, making it harder to manage day-to-day activities.
2. I would appreciate it if you could share more specific details about any psychological factors that might be affecting you, such as work-related stress, relationship challenges, or any other personal concerns you'd like to explore. I’m here to help and will do my best to guide you through managing both the physical and psychological aspects of your condition.
Thanks
