Many people don’t realize that migraine doesn’t just affect the head, it can affect the stomach too. 🤢
Gastroparesis is a condition where the stomach empties more slowly than normal. It is frequently seen in people living with migraine and can become worse during an attack. Symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and feeling full quickly aren’t just uncomfortable — they can make it harder for oral migraine medications to be absorbed, which means the treatment you take may not work when you need it most.
This is one of the many ways living with migraine can be more complicated than people realize, especially for women managing multiple chronic conditions at the same time.
