Ten Vestibular Migraine Triggers You Should Know

Stress

Another common trigger of vestibular migraine and other forms of migraine is stress. Indeed, a recent study has shown that up to 80 percent of participants said that stress is the main trigger for their headaches. Scientists believe that psychological stress can trigger migraine by activating different pathways in your brain. This procedure would involve some specific blood vessels, nerves, and chemicals. When a brain region called hypothalamus is triggered, a migraine may occur. Many factors would lead to major or minor sources of psychological stress, such as the loss of a loved one, mental issues, physical health conditions, accidents, or injuries. [4]
