I know the feeling of the heat and humidity I try to stay inside during the hotest part of the day I get migraines when the weather changes also

I do my very best to stay indoors during the summer weather season. I've noticed the humidity causes havoc to begin as well as any barometer changes with t-storms moving in. The Canadian smoke has been causing chronic migraines with vertigo every morning when waking up to the hazy weather. All I can do is manage the migraines the best way possible and make note of dates. I will be sharing that information with specialist on next clinic date.

Yes, extreme heat can trigger migraine attacks in some people. Weather-related factors, including high temperatures, are known migraine triggers for approximately one-third of people with the condition.

Here are the key weather-related factors that can trigger migraines:
• Extreme heat or cold
• High humidity
• Sudden temperature changes
• Bright sunlight or sun glare
• Changes in atmospheric pressure
• Dry air
• Thunderstorms While scientists are still studying exactly how weather affects migraines, it's believed that temperature changes may influence brain chemicals like serotonin, potentially triggering attacks. It's important to note that weather typically isn't the only trigger - it may work in combination with other factors to bring on a migraine.

To understand if heat is a personal trigger, consider keeping a migraine diary to track your symptoms alongside weather conditions. This can help you identify patterns and better manage your condition.
