Severe weather conditions can be a headache for anyone, but for individuals who suffer from migraines, temperature fluctuations can be even more troublesome.
Dr. Rashmi B. Halker Singh, a neurologist at Mayo Clinic, explains that weather changes can trigger migraines in some patients.
For those who experience migraines, the pain can be debilitating. The intense, pulsating head pain is often so severe that it feels as though the head may explode.
According to Dr. Rashmi Halker Singh, “When people have migraines, they typically experience moderate to severe pain, along with other accompanying symptoms.”
What Are the Triggers for Migraines?
Migraines are a neurological disease that manifests differently in each individual. Some migraine sufferers are sensitive to light, sound, and smells.
Dr. Halker Singh adds, “Migraines can impact a person’s quality of life and disrupt their daily routine, as they often experience unpredictable attacks.”
Extreme weather conditions can lead to changes in the brain that trigger migraines.
Dr. Halker Singh further explains, “Many individuals attribute barometric pressure changes and shifts in weather patterns as triggers, while others believe it is the heat that causes their migraines.”
It is crucial for migraine sufferers to establish a regular routine, engage in physical exercise, and get sufficient rest. Additionally, staying hydrated during the summer months is important.
The neurologist emphasizes, “We need to be mindful of maintaining proper hydration, as sometimes we are unaware that we are dehydrated. It can happen without us even realizing it.”
