Is it normal to have very severe migraines weeks before menstruation???

Yes, it is quite normal to have migraines or severe headaches before your period! Many people experience this, and it's due to the hormonal changes that happen in your body during this phase of your cycle.

Why does it happen?

Your hormones, especially estrogen, rise and fall throughout the month, and this hormonal rollercoaster can be to blame for the headaches. Some people are more sensitive to these changes and end up having stronger migraines. It's like your body feeling the weather change, you know? And it responds with a headache.

What to do?

If the pain is severe, it's best to rest in a quiet, dark place. A cold compress on your forehead can also help! And of course, if it's hurting a lot, talk to a trusted adult to see if you can take a pain reliever. It's super important not to take anything without talking to them first, okay?

It's good to keep an eye on whether this headache always appears before your period and if it's very different from other pains you feel. In the Sosô app, you can record your daily symptoms, like headaches and mood, to see if you can find a pattern in your body.
