Why Do I Always Get A Headache When I Drink Alcohol
Food allergies is a leading cause of migraine attacks and wine is one of the foods that can trigger migraine headaches. Your Murfreesboro chiropractor can effectively help treat the condition.
At Revolution Health Center, food allergy testing is known as “igG” is performed, to ascertain if there are some food items that are triggering the headache. If the test is positive, we work at finding out a list of the exact foods that cause your headache.
WINE IS A FREQUENT FOOD TRIGGER FOR HEADACHES
Many people think it’s the histamine in the wine that can lead to headaches. Unfortunately, there isn’t much supporting evidence. Some people think it’s the sulfites in wine that cause the headache. Again, there’s not much evidence for that.
However, research) shows that the tannins in wine are a major player when it comes to headaches. They add flavor to the wine, and they have an antioxidant effect. But one of the things that they’re finding is that the tannins increase serotonin release in your body. Serotonin is a feel-good hormone in your body. But for some people, an increase in serotonin levels in the body can lead to headaches, which could be quite detrimental and very painful.
So it’s important to pay attention to whether specific foods you eat are triggering your headaches.
If you drink a glass of wine and get a headache that is much worse than a typical hangover headache that you get after having many wine glasses. In that case, wine is likely the trigger for your headache. And it is better to stay away from it.
