I think there is a connection between stressing with anxious thoughts and
migraine pain
for me. I think it is one of many triggers. Hormones for me, before my complete hysterectomy, was another one. TMJ disorder (I have arthritis in my jaws) is another big migraine trigger. Certain foods are another trigger, as is crying, certain smells such as cigarette or perfume, altering sleep pattern, not eating on time, too much sun, computer or tv, and so on.
