Migraines aren’t “just headaches.” They can be debilitating neurological events—and millions suffer in silence.

Common triggers include:
- Stress or lack of sleep
- Certain foods (aged cheese, chocolate, MSG)
- Hormonal shifts
- Bright lights or loud noises

If your migraines interfere with daily life, it’s time to see a neurologist. Treatment options go far beyond over-the-counter meds.
