Mama Debbie,

-:¦:-•:*'""*:•.-:¦:-•*Welcome to MyMigraineConnection!*•-:¦:-•:*'""*:•.-:¦:-

I've not seen any research linking low potassium levels to Migraine. However, anything that strains our health can make us more susceptible to our Migraine triggers. I suggest that you take your daughter to her own doctor and follow up, both for a more complete diagnosis and to discuss her potassium level.

One of the most important things is to get an accurate diagnosis. To simplify matters and make it easier for people to get information and treatment, doctors usually go by the gold standard for diagnosis, the International Headache Society's International Classification of Headache Disorders, 2nd Edition (ICHD-II). Under ICHD-II, there is no diagnosis of "complex Migraine." You can read more about the importance of a correct diagnosis in The Type of Migraine Does Matter.

Depending on what her potassium level is, your daughter's doctor may suggest eating more potassium rich foods or adding a potassium supplement.

Please keep us posted?

Welcome again,

Teri
