Migraine triggers: Some suffer headaches with atmospheric pressure changes, others are affected by bright sunshine, or changes in humidity. There is a relationship between migraine and seasonal allergies. You can easily get this under control by taking a prophylactic medication or otc prep. Talk to your doctor about management.
