Menopause and Migraine
Too many times when women with migraine approach menopause, they expect their headaches to disappear. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. While close to 70% of women will see improvement with their migraines, a full 30% will see no change or perhaps get even worse.
What could be of concern is a new onset of headaches after the age of fifty. This should be taken seriously as there are some conditions that could result in stroke. If the headaches are new then a doctor should be consulted as soon as possible.
