Approximately half a million people in Ireland suffer from migraine and although sports and exercise can be of benefit to a migraine sufferer, they can also trigger migraine attacks in many people. Dehydration, sun-glare, overheating, hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) and over-exertion are the most common sporting triggers.
