Think 4 year old may get Migraines

[Lenny]

Wow, I'd never thought about it either. Yes, I think you would definitely call me sensitive/emotional.

Without sounding over dramatic, I remember missing my 10th birthday and my high school graduation and pretty much every big event in between. I guess I would get apprehensive, excited, overthink things and worry too.

Citrus, cheese and chocolate were all mentioned as triggers, but these were never triggers for me. Hormonal changes are a trigger for many women too - but you don't have to worry about that!!! Dehydration is a factor, as is fresh air.

But it's not always as simple as these things. I still get them - and I can't always pinpoint a reason why, even after more than 20 years!

It is worth getting him to a doctor though. There are other things that can cause headaches that should be ruled out.

Best of luck

Just a thought...take him to an Optometrist for an eye test and they will also check behind the eye. Explain to them the symptoms as eye strain can cause migraines as well.

Thanks again.

I don't think it is food triggers, but I will take him to Dr's and get it checked. Optometrist is a good point also.

Thanks Heather72, my son DS 1 (who gets the headaches) is Oscar also. Love the name.
