Migraines occupy Buckeyes' minds after Cardale Jones' hospital trip

A host of things can trigger migraine headaches, some so severe that sufferers seek help at an emergency room.

A change in diet. Stress. A lack of sleep. It could even be a change in the weather.

“A front coming through can definitely trigger migraines,” said Dr. Geoffrey Eubank, an OhioHealth neurologist.

About 12 percent of people in the U.S. get migraines. Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones went to OSU’s Wexner Medical Center emergency department on Wednesday night after suffering from a severe headache, possibly a migraine.

On his radio show on Thursday, coach Urban Meyer said Jones had suffered headaches in high school and had described the pain he felt Wednesday night as an 8 on a scale of 10.
