The Flipping 50 Show Identify the Reason for Your Headaches and Migraines
In 2014 I moved from Iowa to Colorado and ultimately to a home positioned at over 8000 ft. While I looked at the Great Divide from my window and felt it was so worth it, there were days I couldn’t wait to close my eyes and go to bed. I caved in to high doses of Advil at times. I tried CBD rubs, ice packs, heat, and my massage gun.
When I didn’t feel like my brain was running into my forward I’d try yoga, or maybe swimming to ease the tension that built up in my neck and shoulders. I’d go have a massage.
But often the headaches would stay with me for a few days. I attributed them to high altitude. I know better than to be dehydrated and that wasn’t it. Barometric pressure changes? Maybe. But I never did find the root cause or tie it to hormonal change.
If you know this kind of frustration, or know someone who does, my guest Dr Meg Mill has some insight.
