My teen son has migraines and I have had them too. Both of us have had mild to moderate concussions when young so this doesn’t help. I also believe ours get triggered by hormone fluctuations, stress, too much screen time, dehydration, poor sleep, etc.

My son's neurologist suggested taking omega 3, vitamin D and magnesium supplements and this has helped. He also suggested making sure to stay well hydrated and add electrolytes to water to help retain more of it. When my son gets aura visual changes starting, his neurologist suggested taking Motrin or Tylenol as soon as possible before the pain and nausea sets in. This all has helped. If my son doesn’t take the pain medication at the first sign of visual changes with aura, he gets significant pain soon after then the nausea and vomiting follows. Putting a cool wash cloth in his head, lying down in a dark room while letting the pain medication kick in also helps.

All of those triggers are 100% true but at least for me food intolerance (not allergies) is what triggers them and the amounts you eat are also important and what makes it tricky. it a slice of pepperoni pizza for example may not do anything but if combine with another trigger like chocolate the next day or hard candy or lunch meats then boom! Migraine! I'm 59 years old I had migraines since 7. now under control most of the time.
