Can chocolate cause migraines?

FAQ

Chocolate is a known trigger for migraines in some people. Chocolate contains a variety of compounds, including caffeine, tyramine, and phenylethylamine, which have been linked to migraines. However, not everyone who eats chocolate will experience a migraine, and the severity of the migraine can vary from person to person.

If you have a history of migraines or suspect that chocolate may be a trigger for you, it may be a good idea to avoid or limit your intake of chocolate and other foods that contain similar compounds. Additionally, keeping a food diary can help you identify any foods or drinks that may be triggering your migraines, and working with a healthcare professional can help you develop a plan to manage your migraines.
