What Causes Migraines and Where it Come From Explained by Dr. Berg?

Migraines are like really strong headaches that come from inside your head and can make you feel sleepy or even throw up.

Imagine your brain is like a busy city with lots of traffic, the blood vessels in your head are like the roads. When something goes wrong, these roads get super crowded and start to swell, making your head hurt really badly. That’s what happens during a migraine.

Sometimes, certain things can cause that traffic jam:

• Eating chocolate or cheese
• Getting too much sunlight
• Feeling stressed
• Not sleeping enough

These are like the triggers, they start off the traffic jam in your brain city.

Also, sometimes people have migraines because of how their body works. It's kind of like how some kids always get sore throats when it gets cold, it’s just how their body reacts to certain things.

So, a migraine is like a big traffic jam inside your head that makes you feel really bad, and it happens because of something in your brain reacting to certain triggers.
