Does Raynalds have anything to do with migraine headaches?


Question:


Answers:
Not directly according to most of what I have read.

However, raynauds and migraines are caused by the same kind of action in the body . the tightening of arteries.

Raynauds is in the same "class" of maladies as arthritis, rheumatism, fibromyalgia, sjogrens, and connective tissue disease. Many people have one or more of these.

Stress can trigger migraines, and is also related to the problems associated with Raynauds and fibromyalgia, and other conditions.

In short . al though there is not a direct link, many of the same triggers can affect both, and many people with the above maladies have problems with migraine headaches, so having both is not at all uncommon.

Here are two links to Raynauds symptoms.

You might look up fibromyalgia, lupus, and other conditions as well. A good resource website is www.fibrohugs.com

Hope this helps.
