A member asked:

Could adrenaline initiate or can it trigger migraine pain attacks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Paul Grin answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Yes, it may: Adrenaline causes narrowing of your arteries, so it can contribute to the first phase of a migraine and later relieve symptoms during the second phase, when most of the pain is due to over-dilation of your arteries. Excitement, stress, coffee and certain food are producers of the adrenaline and common migraine's triggers.
