Obesity does not directly cause migraines, however, it is a risk factor and may mean that it’s more likely – depending on how overweight the person is. Certain research shows that as we gain weight, migraine symptoms can also become more severe.
Living a healthy lifestyle, getting enough exercise and getting plenty of sleep can all help with this. If you are overweight, then weight loss will not necessarily lead to curing your migraines, but they may become more bearable and less frequent.
