June is Headache & Migraine Awareness Month: Let’s Talk Relief and Prevention

June 5, 2025

At The Palms Pharmacy, we recognize that headaches and migraines are more than just occasional discomfort, they can be life-disrupting, especially for those who suffer chronically. That’s why June, designated as Headache & Migraine Awareness Month, is the perfect time to shed light on this often misunderstood condition and offer support, education, and relief options.

Understanding the Difference

• Headaches are common and can be caused by stress, dehydration, lack of sleep, or sinus issues.
• Migraines, however, are a neurological condition that may include severe throbbing pain, nausea, sensitivity to light/sound, and even visual disturbances (auras).
  

Common Migraine Triggers

• Hormonal changes
• Caffeine or alcohol
• Certain foods (like aged cheese or chocolate)
• Weather changes
• Bright lights or strong smells
• Stress and lack of sleep
