Recently lost 48 pounds, been getting way more migraines then i would when overweight, why do you think this is?

Hormones: Estrogen , which is stored in fat cells, is thought to be a cause of migraines. Fluctuating levels with that much weight loss may be the source of your headaches.

Weight-loss headache: Rapid weight loss can be associated with chemical imbalances in the body which can in turn lead to problems such as headaches. Blood work and headache calendars may be of assistance.
