A member asked:
I don't think my migraines are hormonal i have mirena (levonorgestrel) no probs for years. could anything else cause increase in severity/frequency suddenly?

YES: Many things can contribute to worsening or new headaches. Since you say the increase was sudden, you definitely need to be seen soon to rule out more serious causes and perhaps change your medicine.

Many causes: If the headaches are increasing in severity and frequency you need to see your doctor for a workup and treatment.
