I have all the syptoms of a migane headache. Is this normal for a 14 yr old to have?

Answer 1

Hello Dear =)

They tell me that men do not trully get "Migraines"....but I experienced debilitating headaches on a daily basis from the time I was about 6, until I was in my late 20's.

It made some pretty unique impacts upon my personality.

No one ever takes young people's ailments seriously, however, so getting help will be a problem.

Stay in a dark room, rotate tylenol, aleve, and ibuprofen, every two hours, in the dosage they recommend (so that you only repeat any of them once every 6 hours), and stay away from excess stimula, like sound, and people, until it subsides.

No doctor is going to see you now until at least Tuesday, of course, because of the Holiday. If you begin vomiting, you may wish to consider going to the ER.

I wish you the very best with this, and hope that it is an isolated incident.

Namaste,

--Tom

Answer 2

I hope so, because I get migraines all the time, and I'm 14. They're not bad, but they're really annoying... little bursts of pain in the back or side of my skull that last about 15 seconds. Maybe you have something different, though... I recommend you ask your family physician.

Answer 3

You can even have them younger than 14,so YES! Find out,if you can,what triggers them for you and which things work best for helping them go away. Look up the classic triggers and remedies and try to find the ones that affect you. Do everything you can to avoid them,obviously,but learn to listen to your body and it's needs. Take Care! See a Dr and let a family member or friend know. You are your best advocate for help!

Answer 4

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information

Answer 5

The first thought to come to mind is the obvious, your pregnant. HOWEVER, when I was 12 (my period started when I was 10) my periods became really irregular. after two years of being regular. I have endometriosis, and PCOD. I would talk to your mom and dad and see what your family's medical history is and see if you have any reproductive problems in your family, since endometriosis is hereditary. If it is talk to your Dr about getting on birth control pills, they help regulate periods and slow down endometriosis. (even if your not sexually active) Good luck!

Answer 6

Migraine headaches affect women more than men; in fact, approximately 75% of all migraineurs are women.

The number of boys and girls who get migraines appears to be similar, but the prevalence of migraine in females begins to climb during the teenage years. By early adulthood, migraines are 3 times as frequent in women as in men.

Answer 8

It is possible for you to have a migraine. Go see your doctor. He/she can give you medications that will help. Also, what you think is a migraine may be the symptom of something else, and so it would be a good idea to be checked out.

Answer 9

Normal, no. I have had migraines since age 10. Finally got rid of them when using beta blockers.

Answer 10

One common cause of migraines is a TMJ problem...that's the temporal mandibular joint. Where your jaw hooks to your skull...if it's out of whack even a tiny bit, it will cause them. There are other causes as well, but medicine is still unsure of their causes.
