Can crying trigger migraines?

Yes: By stress, sometimes wine, chocolate, sleep deprivation, etc.

Migraines: Yes, some but not all of my patients who suffer from migraines would say crying does trigger a migraine for them. Interestingly it seems to depend on the nature of the crying, stressful crying is very different than tears of joy or tears of release. Best.

Migraines: In susceptible individuals, emotions can trigger headaches.
