Hiya, I’m sure there will be a hormonal link tbh.
What has your GP said about the migraines? Have you been referred to a neurologist?
Did you have migraines before menopause at all?
Are you taking painkillers daily for the headaches….if you take any painkillers more than 2-3 times a week for headaches you are at risk of getting caught in a cycle of painkiller induced headaches (can’t remember proper name). GPs will not prescribe prophylactics for migraines if there is any chance you have this problem.
I would recommend reading a book on migraines if they are new for you. There are things that may help while you are waiting for referral etc….things like going to bed and waking up same time every day, eating at the same time every day, reducing stress, no alcohol, all very boring but the migraine brain likes routine.
I have had some success with a Cefaly device which I use as a preventative every day. This may be worth looking into. I don’t use a prophylactic but use Cefaly and take prochlorperazine and ibuprofen if I feel a migraine coming on.
I rarely get aura migraines but can have 4-10 normal migraines a month. Luckily I don’t get a very bad headache but suffer with nausea, dizziness etc.
Sorry for all the questions !
