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.

Migraine symptoms in women can be triggered by changes in estrogen that occur during menarche, menstruation and menopause.1 The term "menstrual migraine" specifically refers to a migraine that occurs near the start of the menstrual cycle, in response to falling levels of estrogen. Oral contraception, hormone replacement therapy, and pregnancy can all affect migraine patterns

Your problem should be addressed by a physician...however, symptoms of dizziness followed by a headache sound like migraine induced vertigo. It is just another type of migraine headache and the dizziness may be part of your prodromal symptoms. A neurologist would be able to correctly diagnose this. As other people have said, nutrition is important, especially if this is a migraine problem. Many headache sufferers can pinpoint specific things that can cause their headache symptoms. You should schedule an appointment with your physician and keep a headache journal including how frequent, severity, duration, what you had been doing prior to onset, how long specific symptoms last (minutes, hours vs days) as this will all help to get the propper diagnosis. Good luck.

FIRST BE AWARE OF THE SYMPTOMS BEFORE THE ACTUAL MIGRAINE BEGINS. TAKE YOUR PRESCRIBED MEDS AS DIRECTED. MAKE SURE YOU'RE IN A QUIET, PEACEFUL DIM LIT AREA. RELAX AND TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT ANYTHING THAT MAY CAUSE ANY UNDUE STRESS. AND BY THE WAY STRESS PLAYS A BIG PART. DO KEEP BUSY WHEN YOU'RE FEELING BETTER, FIND OUT IF THERE ARE ANY FOODS THAT CAN ADD THIS SITUATION.

She should go to the doctor and be diagnosed with migraine headaches before you do anything.  You will want to rule our potential emergency situations.  Once she has been told that her headches are actually migraines, then start to research alternatives.  Here is a bunch of ideas for you to consider.\n\nShe should make sure her blood sugars are normal, hypoglycemia can contribute to migraines.  Food allergies can be another culprit.  Watch out for lactose intolerance, excessive caffeine, salt and artificial sweeteners.  Foods containing tyramine can cause them too.  Migraines can be caused by a reaction to birth control pills or smoking.\n\nEssential oil of lavender is very help in calming the nervous sytem and helping to relax tight muscles.  You can make little eye pillows, rub it on the back of the neck or temple, or just smell it.\n\nVitamin B2 and B12 can be helpful.  People who have migraine tend to have lower levels of magnesium, so a magnesium supplement might be of help.  Coenzyme Q10 has shown promise in research trials, but you have to take it for a few months before you can determine if it will have any effect.\n\nThe herb feverfew is worth looking into. Ginger can help with the headache and also the nausea that can accompany the headache. Look into fish oil, melatonin and SAMe, too.  \n\nAcupuncture therapy is very helpful at reducing the severity and frequency of migraines.\n\nThere are so many things you could try, but don't try them all at once, because you won't know which things are working and which ones are a waste of time and money.

Migraine Headaches: Ways to Deal With the Pain \n\nWhat causes migraine headaches? \nMigraine headaches seem to be caused in part by changes in the level of a body chemical called serotonin. Serotonin plays many roles in the body, and it can have an effect on the blood vessels. When serotonin levels are high, blood vessels constrict (shrink). When serotonin levels fall, the blood vessels dilate (swell). This swelling can cause pain or other problems.\n\nMany things can affect the level of serotonin in your body, including your level of blood sugar, certain foods and changes in your estrogen level if you're a woman.\n\n Possible symptoms of migraines:\n-->Intense throbbing or dull aching pain on one side of your head or both sides. \n-->Nausea or vomiting \n-->Changes in how you see, including blurred vision or blind spots \n-->Being bothered by light, noise or odors \n-->Feeling tired and/or confused \n-->Stopped-up nose \n-->Feeling cold or sweaty \n-->Stiff or tender neck \n-->Light-headedness \n-->Tender scalp \n\nAre there different kinds of migraine headaches? \nYes. The most common are classic migraine and common migraine.\n\nClassic migraines start with a warning sign, called an aura. The aura often involves changes in the way you see. You may see flashing lights and colors. You may temporarily lose some of your vision, such as your side vision.\n\nYou may also feel a strange prickly or burning sensation, or have muscle weakness on one side of your body. You may have trouble communicating. You may also feel depressed, irritable and restless.\n\nAuras last about 15 to 30 minutes. Auras may occur before or after your head pain, and sometimes the pain and aura overlap, or the pain never occurs. The head pain of classic migraines may occur on one side of your head or on both sides.\n\nCommon migraines don't start with an aura. Common migraines may start more slowly than classic migraines, last longer and interfere more with daily activities. The pain of common migraines may be on only one side of your head.\n\nHow long do migraines usually last? \nMigraines may last from 4 to 72 hours. They may happen only once or twice a year, or as often as daily. Women are more likely to have migraines than men.\n\nWhat things may set off a migraine? \nCertain things that can set off migraines in some people include the following:\n\n-->Strong or unusual odors, bright lights or loud noises \n-->Changes in weather or altitude \n-->Being tired, stressed or depressed or the let-down after a stressful event \n-->Changes in sleeping patterns or sleeping time \n-->Certain foods (see the list below), especially those that contain tyramine, sodium nitrate or phenylalanine \n-->Missing meals or fasting \n-->Menstrual periods, birth control pills or hormones \nIntense physical activity, including sexual activity \n\n Foods that may trigger migraines:\n-->Aged, canned, cured or processed meat, including bologna, game, ham, herring, hot dogs, pepperoni and sausage\n-->Aged cheese\n-->Alcoholic beverages, especially red wine\n-->Aspartame\n-->Avocados\n-->Beans, including pole, broad, lima, Italian, navy, pinto and garbanzo\n-->Brewer's yeast, including fresh yeast coffee cake, donuts and sourdough bread\n-->Caffeine (in excess)\n-->Canned soup or bouillon cubes\n-->Chocolate, cocoa and carob\n-->Cultured dairy products, such as buttermilk and sour cream\n-->Figs\n-->Lentils\n-->Meat tenderizer\n-->Monosodium glutamate (MSG)\n-->Nuts and peanut butter\n-->Onions, except small amounts for flavoring\n-->Papaya\n-->Passion fruit\n-->Pea pods\n-->Pickled, preserved or marinated foods, such as olives and pickles, and some snack foods\n-->Raisins\n-->Red plums\n-->Sauerkraut\n-->Seasoned salt\n-->Snow peas\n-->Soy sauce\n\nHow are migraines treated? \nThere are 2 types of migraine treatments.

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.

It may. It depends on what your triggers are. For some people it is things like cheddar cheese or red wine. \n I don't understand how you can even eat with a migraine. call your doctor, ask for imitrex if you have insurance as it is very expensive drug. Lay down with a cool rag over your eyes in a dark quiet room and hopefully it will not last too long. Hope you feel well real soon.

See your Dr. just to make sure but this may be migraine. I suffer migraine . Don't have a lot of pain in my head but , Light ,noise and confusion make me very agitated. I sometimes have blury vision and before a headache I will have a visual aura. I do get pain in my neck with an attack. Migraine can also make you very tired. Sometimes even someone talking to me makes me want to scream. Sensivity to light and noise is constant to me ,not only when having an attack. I also have pain allover my body most of the time. Never thought there was a connection to migraine till now, maybe that is why doctors can't find a cause for the pain . I'll have to mention this idea to him . Thanks.

If you've never had a Migraine attack, you need to be checked out by your doctor to confirm.  The symptoms you are describing are likely Migraine symptoms but may be something else.  A qualified Headache Specialist will ask you specific questions to determine whether or not you had or have Migraines.  He/she may also run specific tests to help in diagnosis you.  Some of these tests could be an MRI, CAT scan, and/or EEG.\n\nMigraine is not just bad headache.  It is a genetic neurological disease.  There is no cure but there are ways to control and live with it.\n\nCheck out the source below.  It describes the 4 different phases of a Migraine; Prodrome, Aura, Headache and Postrdrome, and what you may possibly experience with each phase.  Not all Migraineur's go through all the phases with each Migraine so there it's likely that your Migraines may be different than someone else's.
