Menopause Facts

Hormonal changes during menopause don’t just affect our periods they can also play a big role in headaches and migraines. Fluctuating oestrogen is a common trigger, and for some women, this can mean more frequent or more intense migraines.

But here’s the good news: lifestyle medicine can help reduce both frequency and severity.

💡 Simple strategies that may help:

💤 Prioritise quality sleep – disrupted sleep is a major headache trigger.

🍎 Keep blood sugar steady with balanced meals to avoid energy crashes.

🚶 Regular movement, like walking or gentle Pilates, reduces tension in the body.

💧 Stay hydrated – even mild dehydration can spark a headache.

😌 Stress management techniques such as breathing exercises, meditation or journaling can help ease tension.

If headaches or migraines are affecting your daily life, it’s always worth speaking to your GP for extra support. You don’t have to just put up with them.
