I have not been able to associate any triggers that always cause a headache. Perfume does bother me, the change in whether seems to set me off, and chocolate feels like a death sentence if I already have a headache. I can eat chocolate without problem if I am not already in pain but something is different once I am.

This is a pamphlet that my doctor put out that describes some triggers. Hopefully your daughter’s headaches are hormonal related and they will settle down once she does. I feel her pain. I missed out on a lot of teenage stuff.
