That all makes sense. I've never found anything that stop a migraine in its tracks (sugar, aspirin, naproxen, magnesium, alka seltzer), but perhaps bag breathing is the ticket? I have read that CoQ10 and b2 are pretty promising as preventatives. For people like me that get them every few years it's confusing to figure out what to do to prevent them. In general I am not very stress tolerant, I suspect because I had one of those not so good childhoods and a high stress early adulthood. . My attention to nutrition helps me a great deal, but in times of very high stress it just isn't enough.Congratulations.
I imagine it might be part of the story of migraines by a couple of mechanisms. Emotional stress can increase stress hormones, increase tension in some muscles, increase breathing rate (reduce CO2), which can reduce blood flow to the digestive system - which can slow digestion and excretion of endotoxin, and make it more difficult for both muscles and nerves to relax fully.
