Stress and Migraine: How to Track the Context Without Blaming Yourself

Stress can be part of a migraine week, and some people notice symptoms after the stressful moment passes. Tracking the context can help you see the difference between a peak, a release, and the other factors around it.

Record the surrounding week

• Stress peak or letdown period
• Sleep and meal changes
• Sensory load and schedule disruption
• Timing of first symptoms

The goal is a compassionate pattern, not another reason to blame yourself for being unwell.
