Many things cause migraines. Diet is one factor. Foods like cheese, chocolate, coffee, and other foods that contain caffeine can cause migraines. I am a migraine sufferer myself, and have found that playing Video Games, watching television or using the computer for long periods of time, can also trigger a migraine. Also, Migraine suffering can run in families. My father suffers from migraines and, consequently, I to suffer from them. Stress is another thing. If you've had a hectic day at work or school, or your feeling stressed, that can cause migraines. I hope I've been of some help.
