Neurologist explains how excessive yawning could signal an impending migraine

Excessive yawning may be an early sign of an impending migraine, according to a neurologist. This common symptom can occur during the prodrome phase, hours or days before the headache, and is linked to the hypothalamus and dopamine pathways in the brain. Migraines are complex neurological disorders with multiple stages, and symptoms like yawning, fatigue, and food cravings can precede the actual head pain.
