You should also be aware that some headaches (which may even trigger a migraine) can be a symptom of an underlying problem, such as vision problems, sinusitis or high blood pressure, and as such, you should consider seeking the help of a healthcare provider if you are concerned.

How to Identify and Overcome Emotional Eating
Do you know how to identify and overcome emotional eating? Do you ever find yourself eating for no reason? Do you have a tendency to eat even when you are not hungry? We don’t always eat just to satisfy hunger; we also turn to food for comfort, stress relief or even to reward ourselves.

How to Avoid the Effects on Your Body
Many of you probably have already seen or experienced the effects that anxiety and stress can have on your body. This is especially so when we think about migraine triggers. Stress is one of the number one triggers of migraines, and yet stress is all around us. At home; in the work place; on the roads; even in the grocery store. Many factors in our lives, environmentally, socially and relationship-wise can cause us to experience stress overload. Anxiety in and of itself induces stress. Stress can not only trigger migraines, but if it is not dealt with, it will lead to other issues, sickness and symptoms in your life.
I remember years ago when my husband was still in the Air Force, he had to go on a “remote” tour of duty for a year. It was a very hard year for both of us, as well as our two small children. While my husband was so stressed away from home and family, he developed high blood pressure, but stress for me was more subtle. As the year went on, I began to feel sick and weak, and I experienced so many symptoms in my body that three-quarters of the way through the year, I had convinced myself that I was dying – and probably of cancer. I was so fearful and yet at that time, didn’t associate my symptoms with stress. Once he came home and I was able to voice my concerns, and we got back into a normal routine, my symptoms went away. Of course, now I understand how the mind-body association work and how stress can cause all kinds of symptoms in our body.
