Well, the doctor probably knows best, but what worries me is that this started out under severe strain, but then began to appear in unstressed situations.
Did your doc say anything about that issue?

I don't actually know just how stressed i am. Maybe it *was* enough to cause a Migraine.

I'll just have to calm down from whatever 'stressful' thoughts I'm having i guess, and when the migranes decrease, then we'll know.
