I get headaches once and a while.. you know, the kind from being a mom of 2 little boys who always has tonnes of stuff to do. But lately, I've been getting a different kind of headache. They're weird and kinda scary. First, nothing hurts but I've come to learn that they start with my vision. Everything gets all.. different.. kinda like you're high.. black and dark in the middle and white and fuzzy on the outside.. things look farther away than they really are, or closer. Then, after about 1/2 hour of this, the pain starts, and nothing helps.. and it's pain like nothing I've ever felt before. Is this what a migrane is? I've never had one before, but my hubby and mother tell me that it's probably migraines.

It could possibly be a migraine. But if the headache lasts for a very long time your body is trying to tell you something. Do not ignore these symptoms. It could be high blood pressure that you do not know you have. Please check with your doctor to be sure. Better to be safe than sorry, especially if it is something serious. I ignored my headaches for a long time. If I had seen my doctor early enough I could of avoided a week in the hospital being poked and proded. My blood pressure was very high. Don't let it go, have your self checked.

It does sound like a migraine, but you really should see a dr to rule out any underlying cause. Herbal supplements are great for headaches and migraines. Especially great for MOMS. They can help relieve tension and stress that may be the cause. This site has great info. Good Luck!

Sounds like a migrane. Probably need to see a doctor. There are alot of different kinds of meds now for this kind of pain. I would also see a neurologist, could be something else.
