Hi Naomisdtr18,
Thank you for your question. YES! Emotional stress can trigger a migraine attack for some of us. And many of us will have a migraine attack AFTER stressful periods of time, even if the stress is positive. We have a lot of articles on this you can find here; https://migraine.com/?s=stress&submit=Go.
One school of thought is that it may not be the stress that triggers a migraine attack, rather the things we do or don't do during stressful times. For example, we may not drink enough water, nor keep a regular sleep schedule and/or skip meals. If we're able to avoid our triggers, stay hydrated and keep a regular sleep schedule during stressful time, we may be able to reduce our migraine attacks. I know the things I mentioned can be strong triggers for me and keeping a regular schedule during stressful time is important for me.
You may want to get in touch with your doctor and see if he/she can help break this current migraine cycle you're in. We don't like to see migraine attacks last longer than 72 hours as this can increase our risk of status migrainous and stroke.

I hope that helps and you are feeling better soon!
