Stress & Balance: Stress could be a factor. Also, 1200 calories is low for regular exercise unless trying to loose weight & you may not be taking in all the nutrients your body needs. Further, some foods are known to trigger migraines - google "foods that trigger migraines" to see if you consume any of them & see if dropping those items helps. You can discuss preventives with your md as well.

Many possibilities: Headaches can be caused by stress, structural imbalances, food sensitivities, nutrient deficiencies, genetic predisposition etc.Chronic use of pain meds can cause "rebound headaches." i advise seeing a holistic doc to evaluate& help find the cause. Useful treatments might include herbs, homeopathy, allergen avoidance, acupucture, biofeedback, chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation etc.Good luck!
