Demand a second opinion. Positive note I had similar symptoms for years rarely a day off. I had a brain scan, a EEG and other tests turns out I have hemiplegic migraines - very scary. I have an aura with mine - a bad taste often triggered by what I eat or smell. Gloss paint sends me off my legs for up to 2 weeks. I was investigated for having a stroke! Go back an see your Dr if symptoms don't improve and demand further tests! Have allergy/ sensitivity tests done, mine showed my triggers as being corn, melon, larger etc. I changed my diet and took FEVER FEW natural health supps and have made a fantastic recovery, with the occasional relapse. I f your symptoms are new to you and you have had no further investigations than a DR appointment, go back and demand more. Take a friend or relative with you if your reluctant to push the issue. You only have one life - enjoy it. Luv J xx

Please go see a doctor.  My father complained of a major headache for two days before he went to see his doctor.  His doctor told him it was the flu, to go home and take some flu meds and just relax until monday when the rest of his test results came in.  The following morning we were taking him to the emergency room.  He had pneumancoccyl meningitis and was in a coma for eight days.  Please do not think that a pain will "go away" and go see your doctor.

I get headaches all the time. I try not to take my prescription drug if i can avoid it. I don't know how old you are so I don't want to promote drinking coffee but what I do is drink a small cup of regular coffee with cream and a couple sugars eat a small meal and take three ibuprofen. Slow deep breathing exercises help too. It helps relax your neck muscles, face and jaw. The caffeine in the coffee helps the blood vessels in your head open up if they are constricted. It works for me because i don't drink anything with caffeine in it. But if you do drink a lot of caffeine it can cause a headache. If you can keep a headache diary it can help you to distinguish from what types you are getting and what kinds of treatments can help. If i have a headache on the right side of my head I know it isn't a migraine. Sometimes ice works sometimes a heat pack on the back of my neck works. If i sleep too little, or skip a meal i will get a headache. Once you start to monitor you headaches you can possibly avoid getting them all together and when you do get one you will eventually know which treatment work for each one. Try some of the things i do and see if they help.

Hi. I can relate. I am a brain tumor survivor and I know how bad migraines can really be. Whats worked for me is the eucolyptus and spearmint all natural headache relief available at Bath and Body Works. Also, if available have someone massage your temples while you close your eyes and relax. Prescriptions don't work for some of us. Hope this helps. \n\nGood luck and best wishes,\n\nChris

Sounds like it could be serious and you should go to the doctor.  For the mean time, take Excedrin Migraine when you feel the migraine coming on, be prepared ahead of time, so you can take it before it turns into a migraine or it won't work.  If relief items such as Midol don't work, have you tried taking it before your pain comes on like you would the Migraine meds?  Sometimes taking birth control pills can help as well as anti-inflammatory, and muscle relaxors (but be careful, can be addictive).  Also eating right can factor in and maybe regular stretching could help.  You can try going to a sports medicine shop and buying a hard foam roll; you lay down on it and just breath, real easy; it stretches the area in between your shoulder blades and works great for upper back pain/tightness.  Ask them how to use it and the various ways it can be used and it's also inexpensive.  Sometimes lying down on your back and having somthing underneath your knees (and ankles equally) about the same height as your thigh can releive pain and pressure.  \nTips on controlling PMS (if that's what you have):\n~Eat complex carbohydrates (such as whole grain breads, pasta and cereals), fiber and protein. \n~Cut back on sugar and fat. \n~Avoid salt for the last few days before your period to reduce bloating and fluid retention. \n~Cut back on caffeine to feel less tense and irritable and to ease breast soreness. \n~Cut out alcohol. Drinking it before your period can make you feel more depressed. \n~Try eating up to 6 small meals a day instead of 3 larger ones. \nGet aerobic exercise. Work up to 30 minutes, 4 to 6 times a week. \n~Get plenty of sleep--about 8 hours a night. \n~Keep to a regular schedule of meals, bedtime and exercise. \n~Try to schedule stressful events for the week after your period. \n~Taking calcium pills may reduce symptoms of water retention, cramps and back pain. Taking about 1,000 mg of calcium a day probably won't be harmful, especially because calcium has so many other benefits, such as being good for your bones, but note that the body can only absorb 500 mg of calcium at a time so take it at separate times in the day.

first of all, you need to take continuous breaks from the PC. go for a short walk around the building, eat a short snack, etc.\nhere's some helpful info on headaches, such as symptoms, causes, etc. Hope it helps!\n\nThe most common types of headaches usually are not serious but may occur again and again.\n\n--Tension headaches -- the most common type of headache and are episodes of constant aching, tightness, pressure, and pain around the forehead, temples, or back of the head and neck. Symptoms usually occur on both sides of the head rather than just one side. \nTension headaches usually do not stop a person from doing his or her regular activities. These headaches usually do not cause nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light or noise. A tension headache can last anywhere from 30 minutes to several days. Some people experience chronic tension headaches, which means they get a headache on 15 or more days a month.\nTension headaches are related to muscles tightening in the back of the neck or head because of stress, anxiety, fatigue, hunger, anger, poor posture, or overexertion.\nTreatment for tension headaches usually includes aspirin, ibuprofen, or other nonprescription pain relievers. Aspirin should not be given to anyone age 20 years or younger because it has been linked to Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious disease that most often affects children. Prescription medications, such as antidepressants, may be needed to treat tension headaches. Additional therapies, including stress management or biofeedback, may reduce or prevent tension headaches\n \n--Cluster headaches -- these are recurring headaches that occur in groups or cycles. The headaches appear suddenly and cause severe, debilitating pain on one side of the head, along with a watery eye and nasal congestion on the affected side of the head. The cause of cluster headaches is unknown. Although there is no cure for cluster headaches, medications can reduce the frequency and duration of the painful headaches.\n--Migraine headaches -- Approximately one-third of people who have migraine headaches first began having them as teenagers. are painful, sometimes disabling headaches that are often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light, noise, and smell. These throbbing headaches usually occur on only one side of the head, although the pain can shift from one side of the head to the other, or can occur on both sides at the same time. Migraines involve changes in chemicals and blood vessels in the brain, which trigger pain signals leading to headache and other symptoms.\nMigraine headaches tend to recur. A migraine headache typically lasts 4 to 24 hours but in some cases can last up to 3 days. Some people have symptoms, such as visual disturbances, that occur before a headache starts. These symptoms are called a migraine aura.\nSome people have several headaches per month; others have headaches much less often. Treatment usually includes medications to prevent a migraine from occurring or to stop a migraine once it begins. In some people, migraines may be triggered by certain foods or smells. Eliminating exposure to these triggers may stop the headaches.\n\nHere's a list of common causes of headaches include:\n\n--Alcohol, caffeine, or other drug use or withdrawal. \n--Changes in the levels of chemicals in the body (neurotransmitters). \n--Coughing or sneezing. \n--Dehydration. \n--Dental problems or procedures, such as pain from grinding the teeth or from a root canal. \n--Eating or drinking cold foods and fluids. \n--Emotional stress. \n--Exposure to smoke or fumes from chemicals, including carbon monoxide. \n--Eyestrain. \n--Fever. \n--High altitude. Lower oxygen levels at high altitudes can cause headaches. \n--Medical procedures, such as the aftereffects of a lumbar puncture (spinal tap). \n--Medications. Many medications can cause headaches. \n--Muscle strain in the neck, upper back, or shoulder muscles. \n--Upper respiratory infections. \n

Hi Bluesun\n\nYou must learn about cleansing your system. Colon cleansing and juice fasting for 7-10 days would do wonders for your health. Here is some info on migraines (ties in allergies, asthma).\n\nMigraine Causes\n \nThis is often the result of a disturbance in some other part of the body, such as digestive disorders in the stomach, liver or bowel; problems in the abdominal area; menstrual irregularities, impingements in the cervical; concussion, eye strain, nervous excitement, fatigue, etc. The headache is a mechanism which signals some serious problem elsewhere. The common headache is due to faulty elimination, and the waste matter causes problems until the toxic wastes reach the stomach nerves and affects them. Sometimes headaches are caused from panic, fear, or worrying about the unknown. Headaches of this type are the hardest to relieve, generally requiring something strong like a heavy nervine tea with lobelia in it to diminish the nervous excitement. A nerve tea such as valerian or skullcap with a few drops of tincture of lobelia to a cup will give relief. \n\nFood allergies are another very common cause of headache. The worst culprit is sugar; I have experienced sugar headaches, which are sort of a withdrawal; you eat the sugar, and then as the body is trying to eliminate the toxic substance, your head pounds. Cheese commonly causes headaches, probably the worst of the dairy products for this, although allergies to any of them may cause the pain. Meats and eggs are also common allergens. \n\nBest of health to you\n\nCheers

Wait the recommended time period before taking any additional pain medications (over the counter or otherwise).  In the meantime, if you regularly consume caffeine and have not had any this morning, this may be the cause of your headache.  Also, try allowing a peppermint to dissolve in your mouth.  The scent of the mint can ease a headache, and the ingestion of the mint may prevent and/or relieve nausea.

Well, you need to be persuasive, so you need a great argument.  I have an idea, take asprin and Cola and combine to make an easy to take headache medicine that works faster because it's liquid, tastes great, and the caffeine speeds the asprin to relieve faster (like Excedrine or Bayer Back Relief)..

I don't know all the factors that lead to it so I might not be right. I've had neck pain before because I kept cracking my neck. The more I did it, the more I wanted to do it becasue it felt good. Then it started hurting really bad so I stopped. Another reason, and most likely, is that you have not been getting enough water and, believe it or not, sugar. Not caffeine, you need sugar and water. If you get that headachey feeling when you get up after lying down for a while and your head hurts, then you need more sugar and water. The water should reduce your fever and if you have some vitamins it should help even more. The sugar is for your headaches. Caffeine often "battles" with your head because you try to stay up longer while your body tries to sleep. Headaches are the side-effects of coffee for sure! Sugar, as in fruit sugar and not chocolate sugar, if used as the quick energy boost and can be used to help repair and relieve pain very quickly, but it can't be stored in the body for long, so eat lots of fruit!\nSo in the end, the one thing I'm gonna prescribe to you is an orange. Eat one or two a day and you will get all teh water, vitamins, and suagr you will need. If it doesn't help, call a real doctor.

sounds wierd, but coca cola may help right now, the sugars and the caffeine do something to help relieve the pressure,( Tylenol brand "headache medicine" is simply caffeine and tylenol!)  also a hot foot bath, and cool ice pack on your forehead/neck..the hot water is supposed to pull the blood to the feet and release pressure in the head...Gravol helps to relax and ease the nausea as well...I know these sound crazy but...If it is a migraine, and not a tension headache (similar horrible symptoms) a doctor can help with a nasal spray..or if needed go to emergency and they'll give you demoral (yikes!)
