Part 1: Migraine, hormones and your cycle
If your headaches seem to arrive with your period, or got worse in your late 30s or 40s, or changed in pregnancy, you are not imagining a link. Hormones and migraine are closely connected, and women are affected far more often than men. This guide explains what migraine is, how hormones fit in, how to track your pattern for three cycles, what common triggers and a sleep, food and stress plan look like, how treatment works in general terms, which headaches are emergencies, and how to prepare for the appointment. It is education, not medical advice. Your own clinician needs to guide your care.
Migraine vs. headache
Many people say "headache" for everything. Doctors separate a few kinds, because they are treated differently.
Tension-type headache. The most common kind. It feels like a dull, tight band or pressure on both sides of the head. It is usually mild to moderate, you can still function, and light and noise do not bother you much.
Migraine. A neurological condition, and not just a bad headache. Typical features include:
