why do I get terrible headaches before my period?

Question

I got a terrible headache 2 times in the last 2 months(March and April), shortly before my period. I don't ever remember getting a headache that was associated with my period before. any ideas?

Answer 1

There is something that I've heard of called a menstrual migraine. This can be caused by the hormones that relate to our period. I would recommend having this situation evaluated by your dr to see what they think could be going on.
