Are headaches and migraines hereditary?
Evidence shows that 29.5 million people in the United States alone suffer from migraines. Four out of every 5 (80 percent), claim to have a family background of migraine sufferers. Professionals are unsure if this is due to genetics. Despite a lack of solid evidence, a child has a 50% chance of having a migraine if one parent is a sufferer and 75% if both parents suffer from frequent attacks.
