11 Surprising Things That Could Be Giving You Headaches

Strong smells

If you feel like someone is taking a hammer to your temples, it might be because that someone is wearing a very strong perfume. “Many people experience headaches triggered by the presence of strong scents,” says Kevin Gebke, MD, a family medicine physician at Indiana University Health.

Perfumes, car exhaust, cigarette smoke, spices, pesticides or cleaning products can all trigger obnoxious and sudden migraines. One recent study found that 90% of participants experienced odor-triggered migraines, most of them cause by:

  • Perfume (95% of participants)
  • Cleaning products (81%)
  • Cigarette smoke (72%)
  • Car exhaust (71%)
