the best thing is to get an appointment to see your doctor -\nyou may need to try several types of tablets until u find one that suits you.\nin the meantime take paractamol and drink plenty of water - if its bad, lay down in a darkened room - a cold flannel on your forehead can help too.  hope you find this helpful

The best thing to do is to determine the cause of the headache/migraine. As someone pointed out, dehydration can cause severe headaches. So can certain diseases, such as endometriosis, tumors, lupus, etc. It would be good to see a doctor to eliminate the more serious possibilities, and to make sure that your diet and exercise are healthy so that you don't have to over medicate yourself. There are also good homeopathic migraine treatments available in health stores.

I get really severe migraine too and I feel for you.  I take medication for mine and that is the only thing that helps me (Imitrex) but before Imitrex came out I used to put an ice pack on the affected side (sometimes a bag of frozen corn or frozen peas because you could contour it to your head), lie in a darkened room and (all the above answers are great, by the way) place a hot water bottle, not too hot, on my abdomen as this would help to draw the flow of blood away from the head. Hope that helps.

I suppose it could cause migraines...sounds logical, but no one really knows what causes migraines. you should talk to your doctor. serious injuries like that can resurface years later and cause more problems.

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.

I suggest she goes to a dietician and have her put on diet pills by doctor. Its safer to have her weight loss watched by doctor, in case something happens. I am on one of those diets, and I have Migraine headaches quite a bit, so I have to be under a doctor's care. Some diet pills can cause migraines in certain people...Better safe than sorry!

I would go to the doctor for bad migraines.  I have read that certain foods can trigger migraines too.  Maybe keep a food journal and see if you get migraines after eating certain things.

Hi I have the same problem except that I also get migranes during temp changes.  Not sure what the connection is and I saw lots of doctors for this.  Are you taking any migrane meds? They really help.  Ask your doc about Maxalt.  It's nice to know someone else out there has this problem. Nice to know i'm not alone with a pain in the butt of a problem.  Good luck.

I have suffered migraines since I was 10 and I am 48.  Try 2 Tylenol and 1 benedryl only if not allergic.  Put a warm compress across the forehead and lay down in a dark area.  After a couple of hours check on her and see if it has subsided.  If she continues to have the headache she needs to go to the hospital.  Headaches don't always happen because of her menstrual cycle.  Stress can cause this.  As far as a tumor don't worry unless a doctor  tells you its a tumor.  Get checked anyway.

Absolutely, it could be a symptom of something serious. Take him to a doctor...no-one can have headaches for such a long time without cause.

See a doctor right away and get the relevants done. If the headache is persistent then probably it is an indication that it should not be taken lightly.

I feel your pain... literally. I get the worst migraines. They started when I was in 5th grade, but they went away until i got into high school and were about 5x as intense. \n\nWhen I get a migraine I can't move. It really messes with my brain and I can't remember simple things like my home phone number or how to get house from school. I need complete silence and darkness. I usually spend the day lying on the cold bathroom floor (the cool tiles feel good on my hot head plus I usually spend most of the day throwing up, so it's pretty convenient).  When I started having migraines that lasted for 3 or more days they made me get a CT scan. It didn't show anything, and they still haven't found a medicine that works for me. \n\nSo sorry, I can't really offer any advice on how to make your migraines better, because I'm still having that problem myself. Well, I guess the best advice I can give is to talk to your doctor about different medicine's you could be taking. Once you find the right medicine, you can control your migraines and your life will get back to normal. At least, thats what I keep telling myself....

As soon as you get even the slightest hint that you are going to get a migraine, take a dose of aspirin. When I do that, I don't get the full-blown migraine (or the accompanying pain). However, I can still tell that I'd have one if I hadn't taken the aspirin.\n\nTry to figure out what is causing your migraines so that you can avoid them that way, too. It can be different for each person. For me, it was monthly hormonal changes (so I had a pretty good clue when to expect them). For others, it can be certain foods. I had a friend once who got a migraine every time she ate anything cold, like ice cream or frozen yogurt. See if you can track down the cause and then avoid whatever causes them.\n\nIf you already have the migraine and it is a relatively mild one, sometimes they can be warded off by either taking a hot shower or soaking your feet in hot water. It has something to do with blood flow. The hot shower worked for me several times.\n\nAlso, and I know this is really gross so bear with me, when a migraine becomes bad enough, you will become nauseous and then throw up. And then, voile!, the migraine will disappear. (At least this has been true for me and for others I've spoken with.) So, if all else fails and you're in the middle of a terrible migraine and you just want it to STOP, I suggest working on the computer or reading a book. For me, this speeds up the process to reaching nausea and then blessed relief. And, no, throwing up isn't pleasant. But sometimes it is better than the alternative of feeling like your head is going to explode.
