Track your triggers
Keeping a migraine diary can help you identify your triggers. Once you know what triggers your migraines, you can avoid them or take steps to minimise their effects. Common winter triggers include cold weather, changes in barometric pressure, dehydration, and lack of sleep.
Stay warm
Cold weather can trigger migraines, so its important to stay warm. Dress in layers, wear a hat and gloves when you go outside, and avoid getting chilled.
Stay hydrated
Dehydration can trigger migraines, so its important to drink plenty of fluids, even in winter. Aim for eight glasses of water a day.
Get enough sleep
Lack of sleep can trigger migraines, so make sure youre getting enough rest. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night.
Eat a healthy diet
Eating a healthy diet can help prevent migraines. Make sure youre eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and alcohol.
Manage stress
Stress can trigger migraines, so its important to find healthy ways to manage stress. Try relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation, or deep breathing.
See your doctor
If you have migraines, its important to see your doctor. They can help you identify your triggers and develop a treatment plan.
