A member asked:
Are migraines genetic? my grandmother, mother, and i all have severe migraines. is there a genetic cause of migraine headaches?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes indeed: Migraines are genetic and do run in families, so not surprising that this afflicts several familiy members. Maybe this can be prevented as many meds or otc preps might help.
