Is headaches & migraines a sign of perimenopause?
New onset or worsening severity and frequency of standard headaches or migraines.
Why it happens
The nervous system is highly sensitive to estrogen fluctuations. Headache patterns shift, sensory thresholds change, and some women experience new neurological symptoms they have never had before. These often respond well to hormonal stabilization.
