Irfan Zulkifli, 28, a chiropractor, explained that there are several factors like lifestyle, extreme changes in weather, and changes in the air.
Lighting displays, such as fluorescent lights, decorative lights, or scorching light of the sun, lack of sleep, oversleeping, and lack of water might also cause migraine.
“See a doctor immediately if you feel very severe pain. Headache with fever, neck pain, seizures. Always sleep on time, because a small amount of sleep can cause migraines.
“Stop drinking caffeinated drinks. Even though you are a coffee person, you still have to control the dose by replacing it with taking tea because tea has a lesser amount of caffeine compared to coffee,” said Irfan in an interview with Berita DIMENSi through WhatsApp.
