That's not a simple question to answer because everyone is different. Some have menstrual migraines. Some wine. Some stress. For me it's fragrances and barometric pressure changes. I suggest you visit the American Migraine Foundation and read some of their articles. Research on migraines wasn't a priority until recently. They think calicitonin gene-related peptides are the cause, but what starts the release of the proteins in the first place is not really known. When CGRPs are released it causes inflammation in the brain meringues. Some theories say the beginning is caused in the brain stem, then message is sent to the CGRPs to be released, then the message goes back down to the neck and each vertebrae in the neck tells which part of the head to hurt. But nobody knows what starts it off in the brain stem yet. One thing they're fairly certain about is it's hereditary, gene related and that's why it runs in families.

Stress can definitely cause migraines.

Doctors can help us! You just have to find the right one! I've managed to get mind down from 24-28 migraine days per month to less than 15, but obviously we still have a long way to go. It took working with an eye specialist who specializes with working with brain injuries before we found part of my cause for my migraines. But if I had given up, I wouldn't have found him. The combination of Aimivig, botox, binasal occlusion glasses and Nurtec have improved my migraines. But I'm still searching out how to get rid of the rest of them! Don't give up!

No one knows. Even doctors can't help us.

I never heard of that about inflammation pain causes migraines
