Yes: Any type of chronic pain can make anxiety worse and can sometimes lead to depression. If you can find a good preventive regimen for the migraines you may find the other issues getting better. You may need combo of medications and therapies to get the best results. A healthy diet, regular exercise and enough sleep are also key. Speak with your primary about a comprehensive plan.
