bad headaches for a couple of weeks?
918637
Sounds like a recurring migraine headache with allergies.  This would account for the swelling.  Do you sleep on the right side at night?  If so, all of the sinus drainage could be accumulating in that sinus cavity.  Use a cool mist humidifier at night, take some kind of antihistamine medication (like Benadryl, Comtrex, Tylenol Allergy-Sinus, etc.), and use Vick's vapor rub on a cloth near your nose.  The Vick's will help decongest your nose and allow you to breath better.  You could also be having an ear infection.  If this continues, you will need to go to the doctor and get on an antibiotic for sinus infection.

I quit drinking coffee about 2 months ago. I was drinking a pot of coffee a day.  I had been doing that for years.  I had really bad headaches for a few weeks. Some worse than others. The best advice I can give is to keep yourself busy to try to ignore it and drink LOTS of water to flush it out of your system faster. Stick with it, they will go away. GOOD LUCK!

If you would like to cure headaches naturally, try to take a lime, cut it into half and rub it on your \nforehead. The throbbing will go away.  This worked for me.

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.

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.

these are caused by alot of things, persistant migraines could be a side effect of a serious problem, you should see your doctor right away.  some of the things are: allergies, poor eyesight, a torn neck muscle, some pills.  those are just a few things, if you have hit your head on something or are at risk for a stroke I would recommend a CT.  I'm not trying to scare you but this is something to take care of.

You get headaches due to the hormonal fluctuation that take place in your body during your cycle.  It's perfectly normal.  If the headaches are really severe, talk to your doctor.

Tyleno, and lots of water, a quiet dark room to lay down in. A trip to the eye doctor a regular Dr would be a good idea to see if there is something causing her headaches.

i don't know how bad it gets, or how often, so I am giving you some info on headaches, such as causes, symptoms, 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\nIf you have headaches, with these serious symptoms, definitely consult a doc!

You can try turning off the lights, if it is possible.  Often the major culprit of headaches is light.  Also try massaging your temples, starting lightly and gradually applying more pressure.  Drink a lot of water.  Don't drink anything with caffeine or sugar, as they can make a headache much worse.
