Script: While the Fourth of July can be a fun holiday to celebrate in the States, it can be tough for folks with migraine. Why? Well, there are so many factors that can be stacked against you. Think about it, heat, big crowds, staying up late, BBQ foods and drinks that might have triggering ingredients…Not to mention the bright flashes and loud bangs of fireworks. Research even shows exposure to sulfur dioxide, a common byproduct of fireworks, may trigger migraine attacks.
If you have migraine and still want to enjoy the holiday, here are some tips from our migraine community: Stay hydrated, wear earplugs, watch fireworks from afar or skip altogether, bring migraine-safe food and drinks to your cookout, wear sunglasses or migraine glasses and keep a consistent routine.
