Kick Summer Headaches and Enjoy More Fun in the Sun

During the summertime, migraines seem to be a more common complaint. Why do migraines and headaches become more common in the summer season? Here are a few possibilities: 

• Dehydration – You need to stay well-watered all year long, but especially in the summertime. Make sure you are drinking enough water if you work or play outdoors. Avoid caffeinated beverages such as colas and coffee.  
• Chemical Sensitivities – Whether it is bug repellant, sunscreen, or a body spray, there are a lot of fragrances going on in the summertime. If these affect you, try to purchase fragrance-free products, and let friends and family know so that you don’t end up on a long car trip with someone who bathed in their favorite scent.  ​
• Sunlight – The sun is more intense during the summertime. You may need to get a good pair of polarized sunglasses. You can also wear a ball cap or a hat with a wide brim that shades your eyes.  

​Prevention is an important part of dealing with debilitating migraines. Figuring out your triggers can help you to avoid situations that may put you in a bad state for hours or even days. Sometimes, it may be as easy as remembering to drink water on a hot summer day. However, migraines often have an underlying cause that can’t be affected by lifestyle changes. This is because the C1 and C2 vertebrae in the upper neck can cause migraines by putting pressure on the brainstem. Is there anything you can do?  

How many days have you lost to a migraine this year alone? There's a piece of the migraine puzzle that doesn't get talked about nearly enough — and once you see it, you'll wonder why no one brought it up sooner. Breaking the Migraine Cycle breaks it all down, for free.
