Oh I’ve never heard or made the connection that relaxation after stress can trigger a migraine. How interesting. Mine definitely can be triggered by stress but haven’t noticed the stress/relaxed connection for myself.

I have multiple causes too, back/neck, strong scents, bright lights, wine, stress too much information to absorb around me (information overload), hair tied back, oversleeping and intense dreams.

I can’t seem to nail down any 100% triggers but when I’m really stressing about something, particularly at work is when I generally will get them.

For me they are kinda rare but when I do get them they aren’t the mean ones, usually I’ll end up in a sorta euphoria and will have an odd compulsion to eat snacks the sweeter the better and as much as I can as fast as I can, kinda like the munchies.

The first couple times it happened I thought it had something to do with diabetes because both of my grandfathers had it but nope the doctors weren’t sure.

The call them let-down migraines, when your cortisol drops drastically and triggers a migraine. I use to get them every weekend so my doctor made me schedule mildly stressful activities to do on my days off which worked surprisingly well.
