Migraine due to (financial) stress

Migraine due to (financial) stress

Do you have the idea that you are more likely to suffer from migraines when you are stressed or worried about money? It could be that that is laid down in your genes.

Research has been done on the CLOCK gene and two variations of it. It seems that with one type of the gene, the risk of migraine due to stress and worry is 20 percent higher. The research does not show what causes migraines, but it does show that both stress and genes play a role.
