Speaking from personal experience, 80mg of Biovea reservatrol per day, split into 2x 40mg doses (one morning one evening) causes me a very bad migrane.
To get around this I tried splitting one 40mg tables into quarters, taking 10mg every 4 hours. I still get a migrane from it even at this dosage, so I guess I'm sensitive to it.
The headaches you get from red wine are mainly due to the alcohol in it: If consumed in excess, alcohol dehydrates your body and causes a hang-over; this is not the same as a migrane, as you will know if you suffer migranes.
It is possible that additives or preservatives in red wine are causing your migranes, or it could indeed be the reservatrol content... You won't know for certain unless you experiment for yourself.

Can miscarriages cause severe headaches or migraines?
During and after miscarriages, your body goes through a lot of hormonal changes. That can set off migraines. A miscarriage is also cause for acute stress, emotionally and physically, and this can trigger both tension headaches or migraines. If during a miscarriage your blood pressure shoots extremely high or low, this can cause a headache or trigger a migraine. Blood loss caused by the miscarriage may cause severe headaches as well, due to anemia and, once again, low blood pressure. It is important to bring this to the attention of your doctor. If you are pregnant and begin having severe headaches suddenly, contact your doctor immediately to check if the baby is fine, or that you aren't beginning to experience preeclampsia. If you had a miscarriage and begin having these symptoms, contact your doctor. There are things he or she can do for you, including: a blood transfusion if necessary, steroids to help stop the headaches and reduce inflammation, migraine medication, pain medication, blood pressure medication, the recommendation of extra iron, prescribing birth control pills in the short term.

Does a slurpee help a migraine?
Unfortunately, no. Since Slurpees have a lot of sugar in them, they can cause a sudden spike in blood sugar, followed by a drop in blood sugar. Low blood sugar, as well as fluctuating blood sugar, are potential triggers for headaches, including migraines. The coldness can also be a potential trigger (though some people find that inducing brainfreeze helps when they have a headache).

What is resveratrol?
Resveratrol is a nutrient found in "seed producing plants". Specifically it is found in the skin of grapes, peanuts, blueberries, cranberries and a plant called Japanese Knotweed to name a few. Resveratrol is an antioxidant which has been proven in a lab to help extend the life of rats, and increase the endurance of mice. It has been widely studied since 60 Minutes did a story called The French Paradox. Since the people of France seem to live longer and have less heart disease and cancer, some postulate that their "luck" is because they drink red wine regularly. Researchers set out to determine what in red wine caused this reaction. They've boiled that answer down to resveratrol, OPC's, and other antioxidants in the grape. Depending on which scientist you ask, resveratrol is only the answer part of the time. The resveratrol you find in nutritional supplements comes mainly from Japanese Knotweed. It does so because J.K. is easy to grow in any environment. Nevertheless, most people get their resveratrol from wine - not supplements. Red wine is the perfect vehicle for resveratrol because it is best absorbed in the mouth. And wine is one of the only drinks that you sip, hold the liquid in your mouth for a second and then swallow. On top of that, resveratrol and the other OPC's are antioxidants and need to be shielded from oxygen until consumption. Few drinks cork and seal their bottles other than wine.
What happens if you have missed your period but have had a migraine?
A Migraine that is unusual, new, or lasts in excess of 72 hours is a reason to seek the help of your doctor. A missed period may be incidental, but is a good reason to seek the help of a qualified physician so the cause can be determined and treated.

How do migraine headaches differ from headaches?
The difference between a migraine headache and a tension headache is that while a tension headache involves the muscles and fascia of the scalp and neck tightening and causing pain, a migraine involves a large chemical change that affects the entire body. Blood vessels in the brain become wider, serotonin is lowered, and nerves misfire - causing severe pain - along with a host of other symptoms.However this is not clear at this point that migraine is caused by serotonin deficiency.The most frequent tension headache causes are stress, hunger, alcohol and sinus issues such as infection and allergies. Migraine headaches are much more severe than tension headaches. They also affect women more than men, and can sometimes accompany the menstrual cycle. Migraine headaches sometimes elicit other symptoms than just a throbbing head; such as sensitivity to light or sound. Migraines can last from hours to days, and can affect the sufferer's ability to focus, concentrate, work and interact with family. They often cause nausea and force the person to lie down in a dark room, to try to sleep it off.
Can acupuncture or chiropractors help your migraine headaches?
ANSWERYes. Acupuncture has been shown to greatly relieve migraines and their symptoms. Acupuncture needles are often painless and treatments are very relaxing. Chinese herbs, prescribed by experienced practitioners of Chinese Medicine, can also be very beneficial in reducing and/or eliminating migraines. Because Chinese Medicine seeks to treat the root of an illness, not just to mask symptoms and discomfort, the variety of causes contributing to migraine headaches will be addressed by your acupuncturist.Chiropractors are excellent at treating headaches by adjusting your spine. Seeing that the spinal cord is the entire length of your back, tailbone to skull, one tiny subluxation can disrupt something (blood flow, nerves) giving you headaches. I also recommend it because my mother and I both had similar problems which a chiropractor had fixed. My mother sees one about twice a year now, and I haven't seen one since I was a teenager.
