Migraine caused by low cortisol?

I’ve had migraines almost daily over the past week. It always starts with visual disturbances that last about 30 minutes. Recently they lasted over 2 hours and only went away after I took a dose of hydrocortisone. That’s when I realized I need to increase my dose by at least 10 mg during a migraine attack. Now my question: I had increased my dose over the past few weeks due to illness, and then went back down to my normal dose. Could it be that the change in dosage, or that I’m now possibly under-dosed, is triggering/causing the migraine attacks? Has anyone had similar experiences? I actually almost never had migraines in recent years, and now I’m getting them so often
