Abdominal Migraine is NOT an anxiety disorder. It is a true form of Migraine, which is a genetic neurological disease. The International Headache Society's classification criteria is universally accepted by doctors around the world. Here's what they say about abdominal Migraine:\n\n"...seen mainly in children and manifesting in attacks lasting 1 - 72 hours with normality between episodes. The pain is moderate to sever intensity and associated with vasomotor symptoms, nausea and vomiting."\n\nEssentially, Abdominal Migraine episodes are Migraine attacks without the pain phase, but with more nausea and vomiting than other forms of Migraine, plus the abdominal pain. Children who have Abdominal Migraine usually have Migraine with or without aura as the get older.

I dont know much about migrains, far from it. But I know a few things: A healthy lifestyle is good for you! Especially drinking enough water, and exercising. If that does not help, see a doctor and/or buy some anti-migrain drug.\n\nAlso, avoid candy, coffe, cigarettes, stress, artifial sweeteners and keep your blood sugar level steady! In other words: be healthy!

I suppose enough bloating could cause a headache.  Try to determine cause of your gas (foods, allergies).  Do you have heart disease?  Might be celiac disease.  Talk to your physician.

Dear, please, please go to your doctor to rule out any type of brain tumours, etc.  Also, have your eyes examined.  Have your doctor check for TMJ. You could be suffering from migraines also.  See a doctor.  There is help and hope.  Believe me, it is no way to live...in pain every day.  See a doctor. See a doctor.  See a doctor!  Good luck.

Hi Niftynan\n\nHere are some answers and ideas on how to heal your condition.\n\nCause \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 (colon cleanse is needed). 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\nHerbal Aids \n1.General Instructions: Improve elimination with the Lower Bowel Formula #1 (use the cathartics and enemas only in case of emergency). If the problem is in the stomach area, use any of the following stomach herbs: angelica, balmony, black alder, elecampane, gentian root, raspberry leaves, rhubarb, strawberry leaves, wild cherry, wormwood. Use ginger for a menstrual problem. To relieve the local headache pain, two or three drops of tincture of lobelia in a little water three times a day or up to every hour if required will often give temporary relief. If the contents of the stomach causes the problem, empty that area with an emetic. Where the nerves are raw, the following herbs are excellent: catnip, peppermint (hot), rosemary herb, skullcap, spearmint, wood betony, and since plenty of rest is needed, any of the foregoing herbs along with hops tea is very soothing and will produce sleep. \n\n2.Migraine Headache: See formula using wormwood, Culver's root and cayenne. \n\n3.Relaxing Nervine (headache, neck, shoulder and muscular tension, irritability, nervousness or raw nerves, sleeplessness, female organs) \n\n4.Nervous Headache: Chew 1-2 freshly-picked leaves of rue. \n\n5.Headache: Apply the freshly-bruised leaves of rue to the temples. \n\n6.Nervous Headache: See formula using lady's slipper, catnip and scullcap. \n\n7.Nervous Headache: See formula using wood betony, rosemary and peppermint. \n\n8.Insomnia, Headache, Indigestion, Bronchitis, etc. Give black cohosh infusion in small doses. \n\n9.Peppermint Tea: Drink a cupful of hot peppermint tea; then lie down and relax. \n\nOil of Peppermint: Apply externally on the affected area for rheumatism, neuralgia, and headache. \n\n10.Stress Headache: My favorite headache/stress remedy is blending a banana into a cup of pineapple juice, adding a bit of nutmilk, and mixing in one to two tablespoons of brewer's yeast, blending briefly. In fifteen minutes I am calm and ready to deal with the problems that cause the stress. \n\n11.Constipation Headache: Headaches can stem from several sources. Very common is the constipation headache, where compressed fecal matter presses on the nerves that affect the head. We have seen severe migraine headaches cured by taking a catnip enema. For longer-term relief, the lower bowel formula can heal the bowel so that there is no constipation. \n\n12.Severe Migraine: For a really severe migraine headache, apply cold packs to the neck and head while the patient soaks in a very hot tub or whirlpool. Be sure to drink lots of feverfew t

More information on the nature of your headaches would be useful.\n-Where in your head is the pain most prominent?\n-Do you get headaches at a particular time of day? Or after a particular activity\n-Do other symptoms occur with your headaches? Nausea? Sensitivity to light?\n-Do you have trouble with your eye sight?\n\nOf course you should get a doctors opinion, but frequent headaches can have many causes and not all of them physical. Are you under a lot of stress? Do you eat regularly? How is your diet?\n\nIf you see a doctor and have your eyes checked and nothing is found to be wrong, I suggest you try an herb called Feverfew. You can get it in capsules at any health food store. I used to get Migraines and after suffering through the drugs that doctors use to treat severe headaches, I discovered that Feverfew, taken once a day, stopped my headaches from returning without the nasty side effects of prescription drugs.\n\nHope you feel better!

sounds like a migraine - unless you've had a head injury recently? in which case - go to your local A/E dept and get checked out. if no head injury - see your GP for some special migraine tablets that are stronger than ordinary paracetamol

A type of migraine.  These can be horrible, I have them a lot.  They can be caused by many things, foods, stress, chiropractic spinal issues, etc...talk with your doctor about the best thing to do for them.

There are different types of symptoms and not everyone's symptoms are the same.  Some are related to hormones and some are triggered by certain foods.  It's really best to talk to your doctor about what is happening when you get these headaches.  Keep a log for a few of them so you have something to bring to your doctor.  Mine were hormone related and family history.  I know how I took care of mine, but it's not the answer for everyone.

Yep I get a massive migraine after drinking alcohol.  I think it shuts something in my system down.  It's just not good to everyone.

I get that way when I have a migraine headache. Also cluster headaches or tension headaches could be the cause.

Was it hot out?  Sometimes it can be pretty windy out there and that can cause some people to have a headache.  It could have been a form of motion sickness from watching the waves.  If that is the case then motion sickness med can work.  Sometimes excitement can cause a headache also.  Were you on vacation with a lot going on?

It could just be the air. Eventually you will adapt to whatever changes the changes may be. Drink bottled water if you are concerned about the water, or boil it for a minimum of one minute. Know your limit for alcohol. If it has nothing to with alcohol and you are drinking plenty of bottled water it should go away. Maybe you can take a closer look at where you are living, check to make sure there is no mold anywhere because mold has a way of hiding in remote areas. If you are really concerned, go talk to a doctor. Hopefully, it won't cost you too much since you are in a foreing country. If this persists for many months, I highly recomend you going to a doctor. If the doctor says there is nothing wrong I would also get a second or third opinion. I only say this because some doctors are stupid. I had one friend who suffered from severe migrains and he kept going to his doctor about it. He even suspected it could be cancer since he was a heavy smoker, the doctor said he was fine so he just put up with it. Not until he was on his honeymoon in Hawaii did he get a severe seizure,  and the doctors saw that he had cancer all throught his brain and body. The doctors were shocked that it hadn't been detected by the previous doctor he kept going to. Although, the doctors gave him two months to live he lived for two years more, enduring endless chemo. Had the doctor taken his migrains more seriously, he could have started chemo way sooner before it had spread way too much. Now, your headaches could just be simple non-threatning headaches, but it wouldn't hurt to get it checked out. If this goes on for a long time and the doctor thinks nothing of it, go to another doctor. Try not to become too dependant on pain killers.
