Fibromyalgia. It is a chronic pain condition characterized by widespread muscle pain and tenderness at trigger points in the body. This affects 22-40% of migraine patients. Another analysis found that patients with migraines were 57% more likely to have fibromyalgia than those without migraines.
Depression and anxiety. Often, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, depression and suicidal thoughts occur simultaneously with migraine. Treating anxiety and depression can help manage migraines and reduce their frequency and severity.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Like migraine, this disease mostly affects women and begins before age 50.
Sleeping disorders. A scientific review found that sleep disorders are associated with more frequent and severe migraines. Often people with migraines have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. These people also experience snoring, obstructive sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome and circadian rhythm disorders.
