Extreme heat during 27-year-old Caitlin Cavanaugh's college freshman year set off her lifelong journey with migraines. "Heat makes your blood vessels get small if you're dehydrated," Dr. Clifford Segil, a neurosurgeon with Providence Saint John's Health Center, explained. Migraines are a chronic neurological condition that comes and goes due to stress, the environment and what you eat.
"If you're miserable, please come, see a neurologist so I can give you medications that are both rescue and daily medications to make your life easy," Segil said.
