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.
The Migraine Association of Ireland (MAI) will hold the first national seminar on ‘Migraine and Sport’ at the Anner Hotel in Thurles on Wednesday 18th September at 7.30pm.
