Answer 1

OK I used to get real bad Migraines to before I started my period and when there was a change in the weather and I know how bad it feels so if you have a real mild one I neatest its best to take your med's before it gets worse. Hope I helped because I know how painful and annoying they are good luck.Oh and try to see if it's what you are consuming to like I get a Migraine if I eat allot of salt or drink allot of coke like 3-2cups again good Luck
Army Brat=)
It could also be stress too from school=) And all I use for my migraines are prescribed Ibuprofen I guess it's like higher dose and it really helps me feel better and I know I don't like the doc ether but hey she helps LOL=)

Do you drink alot of sodas or caffinated drinks in the afternoon? If you do, then by morning, you could have withdrawal symptoms of caffeine. Another thing could be food allergies. Could also be low blood sugar. Stress. and Migraines. Chances are it is nothing TOO serious given your age. A few years ago I thought I had a peanut allergy, because it seemed that every time I had anything with peanuts, I would get a huge headache, blinding my eyes, feeling a bit like a migraine (tho not quite THAT severe). Turns out it just happened to coincide with when I hadn't had any caffeine in a while.

Quick and simple test: Next time you get one, drink a cup of strong coffee. If it goes away, that's what it was. If it doesn't, look at other things it could be. Sinus infections, the aforementioned food allergy. Also if you ae under flourescent lighting or in front of a computer or reading ALOT...it could be something to do with your eyes.

I would suggest getting in to see your doctor as you can, but there is no need to panic just yet. This is not an episode of House...again chances are, it is probably something quite simple. Try the caffeine test. I would almost be willing to bet that is what it is.

If you have access to migraine medication, why are you only taking HALF?? Betcha a whole pill would work. Most migraines cause sensitivity to light and sound, so this pain of yours does sound like a migraine to me. Are you feeling sick to your stomach or vomiting? Try taking a WHOLE pill, or the prescribed dose.

It doesn't matter if you're overweight or not. Being overweight is not the cause of migraines and I have no idea where you got that information. Usual causes of migraines are hormonal fluctuations, seasonal allergies, foods, stress, etc.

You need to see YOUR doctor and get your own medication for migraines. Once you have your prescription medication for migraines take the prescribed amount, not half a dose. Sometimes you have to take one pill at the onset of pain and another pill after 30 minutes if the pain doesn't diminish.
Ask your doctor and pharmacist how to use the medication, how often it can be repeated, and what to do if you don't get relief.

Some people only get relief from migraines with an injection of a narcotic at the Emergency Room, so keep that in mind. It's an option when nothing else is working.

Answer 4

Something is wrong if it infringes on a person's natural rights. All people are entitled to things such as life, liberty, and prosperity. So if you kill a person, you take away their life. If you put them through dominance and abuse without their consent, you take away their liberty. If you steal their property or money, you are affecting their prosperity. Something is right if it preserves those natural rights and promotes them for others. If you save someone, work to give people suffrage, or give to charity, you are doing the right thing. However, the line between right and wrong often becomes blurred. For instance, suppose you kill a murderer who broke into your home to save your own family. In this example, we can dissect your actions and judge them individually to be either right or wrong. Killing the man was wrong, but protecting your family and property was right. In this case, the number of right actions and the amount of good that was done is greater than the evil, so you would be right in this situation.

Answer 5

This could be just a migrane. A migrane is more painful than just a regular headache and it lasts more longer. Have you gotten enough sleep lately? A lot of sleep should help the migrane go away, especially a good one. If that doesnt help, consult with a doctor.
Plus, you shouldnt be taking prescibe medication since it will make your headache worse.

I had the same problem as you did, hope you feel well soon.

Answer 6

I know this might sound like a simple answer to a complex situation, but give it a try.
A great deal of most people's headaches come from simple water deprivation. 8 glasses of water per day, my friend. Try it. It may not work, but its a least an idea. I have headaches very rarely because I drink loads of water a day.

Answer 7

Go to a doctor NOW. No-one here can diagnose this accurately.
The heaaches could indicate any number of things, but given the frequency & intensity, it would be stupid not to have a professional check them out ASAP.
Good luck - feel better soon.

Answer 8

Sounds like migraines to me. Could be caused by hormones or a pinched nerve or food allergies. Go to a Dr.

Answer 9

You said your moms migrane medication, you could be suffering from the same thing. Go see a doctor, even though her medication did not owrk there are many treatments out there, and one might work for you, doctor first.

Answer 10

It could be really low blood pressure. I have really low blood-pressure and sometimes I get really horrible headaches if I havent eaten anything all day. Go to your doctor. They can help!
