Why ADHD Might Be Triggering Your Migraines? The Link Between ADHD and Migraine

Ever wonder if your racing thoughts, forgetfulness, and migraines are actually part of the same puzzle? You're not imagining things.

In this episode of The Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme explores the powerful — and often overlooked — connection between ADHD and migraine. From overlapping brain chemistry to the domino effect described in Traditional Chinese Medicine, you’ll learn how your mind and body are speaking the same language… even if it feels like chaos.

You'll discover:

● Why people with ADHD are twice as likely to suffer from migraines

● The key neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine) driving both conditions

● How Eastern medicine explains the emotional overload, PMS migraines, and gut-brain disruption behind ADHD

Whether you were diagnosed as a kid or just realized something’s always felt “off,” this episode helps you see the bigger picture.

🌿 Plus: A mind-body roadmap from childhood to chronic migraine through the lens of Chinese medicine, with practical insights you won’t hear anywhere else.

🎙 Tune in every Monday and Wednesday to learn what your body is trying to tell you—and how to finally listen.

For women, men, and children who suffer from migraine disease, Migraine Heroes is your go-to resource for understanding, managing, and overcoming migraine attacks.

We cover all types of migraines and related headaches, including primary and secondary migraines, chronic migraines, and cluster migraines. We dive deep into the complexities of migraine with aura and migraine without aura, as well as rarer forms like hemiplegic migraine, retinal migraine, and acephalgic migraine (silent migraine). Our discussions also extend to cervicogenic headaches, ice pick headaches, and pressure headaches, which often mimic migraine or contribute to overall migraine burden.
