starts by being a bit irritable, antsy....says she's hungry, but headache hits soon enough, she screams because they hurt so bad...says they are in a certain spot on the front right side of her head. she cant quit crying and within 10 minutes to 45 minutes, she begins to vomit....headache subsides pretty quickly afterwards... like an episode...happens 1-3 times a month, could it be stress related? ever since her dad obtained custody this has happened. she lives in a good stable home, visits me often but I am 7 hours away and the change (because I had custody of her for 6 years) is tougher than most realize i believe. she is healthy otherwise...energetic, intelligent, and seems very stable....just wondering if this sounds like a medical issue or is she holding alot inside which is causing an excess of stress and emotions? Its tough to see her go through this, any help I really would appreciate

It sounds like she has cluster headaches. It's a particular kind of migraine that usually happens behind one eyeball or in one section of the head. Vomiting, sensitivity to light, smell and sounds can also trigger migraines, as can certain foods or food allergies.

Both could be stress related,however, to be on the safe side she should have a C.T. scan to rule out a tumor.The poor child probably needs an evalutation by a child psychologist.Why doesn't the mom have her daughter.What is up with that?

Tension could play a part. Allergies to certain foods could also trigger. But by all means see a doctor

Could be physical or psychological causation… My best advice is to not take direct advice off the net. Go visit a professional…

It's a migraine.....I don't get them often but I've had one that made me puke. Others have them regularly. Not unusual for a bad headache to make somone puke.
Poor girl.

Gastric trouble. Try antacids. Refrain from dairy products.
