Headache symptoms?

Question

I've never been one to have bad headaches, but lately I've had several exteme ones with some weird symptoms. Within the last 2.5 months, I've had probably just two extemely painful headaches, with no other real symptoms and two which started with my right eye doing something funny, almost as if there were a glare and I couldn't see quite properly. The headache at this point wasn't so bad, but then I was talking and it was as if I couldn't for sentences and words properly without thinking really hard about what I was saying...it was a little scary. I knew what I wanted to say, the words just didn't come out right. Those two things lasted probably 15 minutes with only a mild headache, then the headache became worse and I slept it off. Anyway, I don't know what to contribute it to...stress, maybe caffeine (I have like 1 latte usually a day), I don't know...I think if it happens again I will go to the doctor, but I thought I would ask if anyone had experienced similar symptoms. Thanks

Answer 1

It sounds like you are having migraines. They are very painful. You should make an appointment to see your doctor. The doctor will most likely refer you to a neurologist.

Check out Webmd.com and wikipedia.com both sites have pretty good explanations of migraines and a lot of information on treatments.

Answer 2

It almost sounds like a migrane. They are usually severe headaches with sensitivity to light or sound, and usually effect your vision. I've never heard of one only lasting 15 minutes though, mine usually last all day...You should talk to your doctor. You could have some kind of nerve problem, or if it is a migrane there are great medications for it.
