Triggers:

Triggers, which vary in all aspects, are things and/or events that lead to the activation of a headache. For example, what initiates a headache for a certain person many not get the same result from someone else. Furthermore, a person might receive a headache from a certain trigger at one point yet that same trigger might not have the same effect a second time. "In fact, what triggers a migraine for one sufferer may actually help prevent it in another," says the Migraine Relief Society at http://headaches.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site= http%3A%2F%2Fwww.migrainehelp.com%2Funderstand%2Ftriggers.html. This could also be applied to headaches.
