Can allergies trigger migraines?

Yes. Through both the histamine release that happens, and the sinus pressure triggering one.

Yes it certainly can.
Either as an allergic reaction to something itself, or from a normal allergy attack being just another thing in your day to bother you. Allergy pills, cleaning and the Ionic Breeze are my best friend.

Absolutely. Mine get much worse in the spring and fall when the pollen counts are at their highest. For me, the sinus pressure will be the trigger.

In fact, benedryll is the first thing I take now when I get a migraine just in case its from allergies. I take two...If nothing else it'll help me sleep. And it helps with the nausea!

I would like to add that one of the off-label medications for migraine is Singulair, an allergy medication. (along with Accolate, and Zyflo) It blocks leukotrienes, which cause both an inflammatory reaction and histamine response.
A medication used mainly in children is Periactin, which acts directly on the histamines. Benadryl, Dimetapp, Claritin, etc..will do the same thing.
