Answer 1

Honey i thik you should check that out. Seriously.

I was going through the same thing and they did a CT scan and it came out negative to any tumors, they told me that it seemed that i suffered of chronic tension migraines. And i was prescribed zefran for my nausea.

Migraines or tension headaches are due to blood clots in the brain and when the blood cant travel around the brain the headaches begin. And just so you know, migraines never go away, they just die down for a while until ANYTHING triggers it and then you begin the painful expirience.

PS: If its migraines, concentrate on the things you do or the things you eat that may trigger the headaches.

From expirience, check that out.

I have suffered from migraines since age 8, I'm 36 now. I've tried many pills, OTC and prescribed, yoga, breathing techniques, icepacks, facial icepacks, whitenoise machines, radiofeedback tests, have had 3 MRIs and 2 CTs in my life of my brain in regards to my migraines. Etc etc etc. For the past 3 months I have been taking Topomax daily and I have a nasal spray I've only used twice just as I feel one coming one. The spray works for about 3-4 hours then my temples hurt and my mouth gets dry. The topomax is the better of all the other drugs I've been put on. Today I started physical therapy. She measured my neck and the angel it can bend without pain and said it's all muscular, my neck vertebrae are all in line. She did about 5 minutes of point pressure while I laid on my back so the weight of my own head was the only pressure and then she gave me electronic massage for 13 minutes. I felt relief right away. It lasted for 7 hours. Then my right shoulder and neck area started to tighten up and my temples are starting to hurt again. I have to go twice a week for 3 weeks to see how it goes. Do you see a neurologist? Talk to him about this electronic massage through a physical therapy department. With a referral, most insurances will pay for it. Good luck and God bless!

Answer 3

It should be a migraine for your case but sometimes it may not be.So i would suggest that you go and see the doctor.
If it's migraine,I would suggest that you try to avoid the irritant that may trigger your migraine.You can read up migraine related books for more information on the types of irritants.

Answer 5

more details are needed here-- where are the headaches when you get them? behind the eyes, one side of the head, is there any neck pain with them, do you have any vision changes, any sensitivity to smells or tastes or sounds, is there any coorelation with foods that you eat, how do you get rid of the headache?
your best bet would be to go to your doctor and talk to him/her about it, also you could try a chiropractor, many times there is an associated link to neck problems and headaches. A chiro may also take the time to address nutritional problems/deficiencies that may be causing your headaches.
