and sound. They can be acute or chronic. They occur when a "trigger" stimulates the release of vasoactive neuropeptides, which causes blood vessels in the brain to contract and then dilate. This also produces vasospasms, which reduces blood flow. Platelets then clump together and release serotonin, which causes blood vessels to constrict even more. This triggers the release of prostaglandins and other chemicals that dilate blood vessels and cause inflammation. Migraine headaches can be acute or…
