Your body produces endorphins and enkephalins throughout the day. These chemicals are natural painkillers and help you fight back against headaches. Unfortunately, your body produces less of the chemicals in the morning, causing many people to suffer from morning migraines. This is compounded by the fact that your body also produces more adrenaline in the early morning, which can make your blood pressure go up. When you consider all these factors, it’s no wonder that most people report migraines between the hours of 4 a.m. and 9 a.m.
Treatment for morning migraines can include treatment to help you sleep as well as medication. You also might benefit from acupuncture and other therapies. You can get all of this and more at our state-of-the-art medical office.
