I agree with going to see a neurologist. You could be suffering from severe migraines which can cause everything you described. Even more rare is a condition known as "cluster headaches". Cluster headaches can be incapacitating anywhere from 4 hours to 4 months. Check out WebMd.com for more info on them. \n\nDo you where corrective lenses? Could be as simple as eye strain from a bad prescription. Wouldn't hurt to see an eye doctor as well.\n\nAs for your immediate pain, try to sleep on you side or your back with a supportive pillow. Don't use the memory foam type as they do not recover fast enough to support your head, neck and shoulders. Put a pillow between your legs if you sleep on your side. It helps to align the spine and give you more support. Try ice packs and heat packs. Alternate icing for 20 mins and then heat, then ice again. \n\nYou can also try some light isotonic stretching exercises for your arms, back and neck right before bed to help relax the muscles.\n\nI'm sorry you feel rotten. I hope you feel better soon. I also hope that a good doc will take the time to listen to you.

I recommend checking your pillows.  If you are sleeping on too many then your head gets jacked up all night and can cause stress and pulling on the muscles at the back of your head giving you a tension headache.  Get a very flat pillow.  Roll up a medium sized towel and tie it so it stays rolled up.  Place the towel on your bed and place the pillow over the top of it.  Lay on it so the towel falls right in the curve of your neck.  This will allow the proper support for the curve of your neck and help prevent tension headaches.  You can experiment with the size of the towel roll to find out what size is right for your particular neck.  You will need to sleep on your back for this to work.\n\nYou can try hanging your head over the edge of your bed to facilitate a curve in your neck as well.  Do not do this if you have high blood pressure or other balance problems unless you first consult a professional.  Don't do this for more than 3 minutes.  It will help stretch out your spine.  \n\nIt could also be due to grinding your teeth in your sleep.  See a Chiropractor.  They will be able to help you determine if it is your posture while sleeping that is causing the headaches.  I can say from personal experience, I rarely get headaches anymore from sleeping (I used to get them all the time) since I get adjusted regularly now.  I have also helped many patients with the same problem.

no.  this is not okay.  it sounds like you are having some issues with your heart conduction (the natural electrical impulses that control when your heart beats), and as a result your heart is not getting enough oxygen (causing pain).  your blood pressure is likely reacting to that which could be causing the headaches.  i would definitely see your primary care doctor and he/she might suggest that you see a cardiologist.

There really are a number of different things that may be causing this. The only way to be sure is to get a full checkup with your doctor. Hormones, stress & anxiety, blood sugar, and lifestyle changes can effect your emotions and feelings of self. To rule out physical factors get a check up and follow up with needed specialists. Good luck.

I know my brother gets headaches from tension, and mostly from not eating. you might try monitoring your caloric intake, to see if that might trigger it, having too many or too little.

If you feel that this problem is not normal for you then my advise would be to go to the doctor. I have had that happen and it was a anxiety attack. You would be surprised  how many people old or young have them. IF it continues the doctor will put you on a medication to help you feel better. Dont worry what your parents say its your body not theirs  good luck and I hope you feel better.

I have had Fibro since I was 16, actually 20 years now. It does sound like you have some of the symptoms. I am also wondering if you may have Rhuematiod Arthritis because of the joint involvement. Your headaches may actually be Cluster Headaches if they continue to reoccur frequently and you have a sharp pain around one eye. My clusters usually sit in the back of my head until a spike hits me in the eye (what it feels like). Also, these conditions can co-exist (you can have them both). I don't believe I have ever taken Accutane.\nFibromyalgia associated syndromes\n\nIt is not unusual for fibromyalgia patients to have an array of bodily complaints other than musculoskeletal pain. It is now thought that these symptoms are a result of the abnormal sensory processing – as described in the previous section. Recognition and treatment of these associated problems are important in the overall management of your fibromyalgia. \n\nNon-restorative sleep\nCognitive dysfunction\nChronic fatigue\nCold intolerance\nRestless leg syndrome\nMultiple sensitivities\nIrritable bowel syndrome\nDizziness\nIrritable bladder syndrome\nNeurally mediated hypotension\n\n1. Chronic fatigue: The common treatable cause of chronic fatigue in fibromyalgia patients are: (1) inappropriate dosing of medications (TCAs, drugs with antihistamine actions, benzodiazapines etc.), (2) depression, (3) aerobic deconditioning, (3) a primary sleep disorder (e.g. sleep apnea), (4) non-restorative sleep (see above) and (5) neurally mediated hypotension (see below). A new drug called Provigil is of some help when used intermittently for management of fatigue.\n\n2. Restless leg syndrome: This strictly refers to daytime (usually maximal in the evening) symptoms of (1) unusual sensations in the lower limbs (but can occur in arms or even scalp) that are often described as paresthesia (numbness, tingling, itching, muscle crawling) and (2) a restlessness, in that stretching or walking eases the sensory symptoms. This daytime symptomatology is nearly always accompanied by a sleep disorder - now referred to as periodic limb movement disorder (formerly nocturnal myoclonus). Treatment is simple and very effective – DOPA / Levodopa (Sinemet) in an early evening dose of 10/100 (a minority require a higher dose or use of the long acting preparations).\n\n3. Irritable bowel syndrome: This common syndrome of GI distress that occurs in about 20% of the general population is found in about 60% of fibromyalgia patients. The symptoms are those of abdominal pain, distension with an altered bowel habit (constipation, diarrhea or an alternating disturbance). Typically the abdominal discomfort is improved by bowel evacuation. Due to abnormal sensory processing these symptoms may be quite distressing to fibromyalgia patients. Treatment involves (1) elimination of foods that aggravate symptoms, (2) minimizing psychological distress, (3) adhering to basic rules for maintaining a regular bowel habit, (4) prescribing medications for specific symptoms; constipation (stool softener, fiber supplementation and gentle laxatives such as bisacodyl), diarrhea (loperamide or diphenoxylate) and antispasmodics (dicyclomine or anticholinergic / sedative preparations such as Donnatal).\n\n4. Irritable bladder syndrome: This is found in 40-60% of fibromyalgia patients. The initial incorrect diagnoses are usually recurrent urinary tract infections, interstitial cystitis or a gynecological condition. Once these possibilities have been ruled out a diagnosis of irritable bladder syndrome (also called female urethal syndrome) should be considered. The typical symptoms are those of suprapubic discomfort with an urgency to void, often accompanied by frequency and dysuria. In a sub-population of fibromyalgia patients this is related to a myofascial trigger point in the pubic insertion of the rectus abdominus muscles – and may be helped by a procaine myofascial trigger point injection). Treatment: involves (1) incr

I have to agree with most of the posts here...does sound like panic attacks or really bad anxiety flare ups.  Have you ever checked your blood pressure while this happens?  Also, do you palms begin to perspire?  Do you have any feelings like you are doomed and maybe going to die when this happens?  These are typical questions asked regarding panic attacks.  Also, does this happen after doing anything in particular, like exerting yourself in some way?  Or does it perhaps happen when you've ate something particularly sweet, and if so have you ever had your blood sugar level checked?  There are several reasons this could be happening to you, so I would recommend getting a medical check-up and go from there...good luck.

that sucks.  i suffer from headaches like that.  its hard to believe your doctor wont take you seriously. if his happens often, try to note what triggers them. could be related to hormones, sensitivity to certain foods, odor, or light.\n\nwhen painkillers&caffeine don't work, the best thing is to lie still in a dark room, no light at all. alternating hot and cold compresses too.\n\nand for gods sake, get off the computer! could be eyestrain!

Do you have soreness/numbness in your left or right arm or hands.  Did this begin after an evet, ie car wreck or head trauma.  If it is really painful you need to have an MRI done..could be stenosis in the cervical or some type of spondylolestsis.

I am presuming you are going through this mystical journey right along with the rest of us, huh?  Well, there is no set age or time for women, it's all according to each individual woman's body. For me, sometimes I feel miserable, other days I'm fine. My worst symptoms are frequent major headaches, change in body temperature and some mood swings. The "monthly visitor" hasn't completely stopped coming around but I can't wait till it happens.  Meanwhile, we all gotta cope......LOL

I know the feeling. Could be many things. But I'm not a doctor. This site has a symptom checker on the main page on the right hand side of the page.  http://webMD.com Good luck.

To go and have too much fun is RIGHT up my alley! I like a little girlfriend action myself.. then Im having LOTS of fun! As far as your headache goes, take two excedrin for migraines and you'll feel better in 20 mins.

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

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
