The question of the century! Lots of things can cause migraines. We know them to be vascular (that is from blood vessel dilation.) Some women get them around their period so they are hormonally cyclical. Do you have auras, before the pain begins? Are you photophbic and audiophbic? Do you have extreme nausea ?...and when you finally vomit does the pain recede or go away? These are all questions that are asked of migraine sufferers...such as I was. See a doctor ...there are meds now on the market that can stop the headache on a dime! Good luck..I sympathize with you !
Also certain foods can trigger them MSG, red wine, and chocolate.

There are different things that cause migraines..
It can run in families,so it could be genetic..Does anyone like your mom or dad have Migraines alot?
Also Migraines can cause by Stress..
If you have some Vision Problems associated with it,it could mean that you are straining your eyes and might need to get you eyes checked..Even a Sinus Infection could cause you to have Migraines..
Hormones can cause Migrains as well..if you get them during your menstrual cycle then that might be the cause..
If this is just a sudden thing that you are getting and never before had migraines and they do not go away with Tyenol or Motrin..then you need to go see a doc to have him check you out.OK?
Good Luck.

It's ADVICE. You need to see a doctor. You don't say if you are male or female, and that is important. See a doctor. We cannot diagnose your problems here on Yahoo. Many things can cause migraines and if you have not seen a doctor, you cannot even be sure they ARE migraines. See a doctor asap.

My sister got migrains from an early age too and the doctors had her quit taking birth control pills and quit drinking caffine. Now she drinks caffine free soda when she wants a soda and her migrains only happen once or twice a year instead of once a month or so. Good luck and talk to your doctor.
