hope for those who’ve given up on their own coping strategies, and it’s

hormone cortisol. The two most common acute migraine triggers are stress and
neck muscle spasms. A preventive measure for migraine sufferers: Stay hydrated,

individual basis. Some find it helpful, but (others) can have their migraines
triggered by manipulation of the neck.
