What’s behind this? The challenges of pandemic life, tough enough to deal with on their own, are even more difficult for migraine sufferers. 10% even reported that the increase changed their migraine from episodic (4-15 attacks a month) to chronic (15+ attacks a month). In a survey of migraine sufferers published in The Journal of Headache and Pain, nearly 60% of respondents said they’ve had more attacks since lockdowns began than they did in the previous months. While we can’t say for sure if COVID-19 itself causes migraine attacks, doctors are pretty much certain that pandemic life is increasing their frequency in people who already suffer from them. ![]() Can people who haven’t had COVID-19 still get pandemic migraine? That can be a sign of multiple potential issues, not just COVID-19. But you should always contact a doctor if there’s a sudden uptick in the severity of your attacks. What does this mean for you? If your migraine attacks are no more severe than they used to be, you can probably rest assured that they aren’t a symptom of COVID-19-unless you’re experiencing other recognized symptoms.
