Symptom Triggers
A number of triggers may induce symptoms in people with moyamoya disease. Headaches and migraines may be initiated by exposure to a powerful light source, strong smells or tastes or overexcitement. Strokes and ministrokes may be brought on by these same triggers as well as by stressful situations, overtiredness and exercise.
Other triggers include crying or intense emotional bouts, fever, coughing, and mental or physical strain. Once identified, these triggers should be avoided at all costs to prevent further damage.1‘Moyamoya Disease.’ Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 1 May 2021, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/moyamoya-disease/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20355591
