Triggers are different for each individual
Triggers are different for each individual. "I get migraine attacks from nasal blockages and sinusitis, nothing else," says Tawhidur Rashid, a long-suffering migraine patient. Some people may get migraines from the cold, while others get it from dust or sunlight. A fasting person needs to wake up in the middle of the night to eat sehri. This disrupts sleep for the first few days and causes a general upheaval of daily routine. The sudden disruption in sleep pattern can trigger migraine in some patients. A person who is used to a certain level of caffeine through the day will experience strong withdrawals during fasting and this too may trigger attacks. Anyone who is used to drinking a lot of water through the day will feel a strong thirst, at least until they get habituated to fasting, and this can become a pain inducer too. This list of triggers is by no means exhaustive and migraine patients are encouraged to keep track of their triggers and avoid them as much as possible,
