I have had this headache for the last 5 days and it is not going away? What could be wrong with me?
Yeah but how did I get one? What causes this crap??
I took 600 mg of Ibuprofen like 20 mins ago… what is gonna happen now
So I should have not taken Iburofen?

Go see your doc asap. They have a prescription for migraines called Imitrex.
sounds weird but ice on your head will help. This is about the only thing that helps mine.
doesn’t matter what caused your migrane, death fixes all ills. just say good bye
You really should mention this to a doctor but as someone who has them every so often I recommend Excedrin migraine. It’s sold over the counter and generally works within an hour to some degree. Your doctor can prescribe something stronger if need be though. Another thing to try is a cup of coffee or tea. caffeine in moderated amounts is great for migraines.
maybe try excedrin migraine…
avoid the sun and artificial light as much as you can
turn off things that make noise and lay in your cool and comfortable bed with your eyes closed…..with a cold wash cloth over your forehead…..
most likely your neck is out.. i’ve had that kind of thing for several weeks continiously since i was 4.. you get over it…
Migraine.
Instead it could be Diabetic related or it could be caused by sleep apnea, a head injury, or many other things get to a doctor and get checked!
Also if it truly is a migraine here is a little info you should be aware of Excedrin migraine is the same a Excedrin don’t fall for their marketing gimmick.

Don’t fall for this scam! Buy which ever is cheaper or a store brand
Acetaminophen is the “generic” name for Tylenol (pain reliever)
Aspirin helps improve circulation, helping any headache.
Caffeine is supposed to be helpful in “treating” or relieving migraines.
Read this info and use what sounds best for you, but most importantly go see a doctor!
There are vitamins that you can take to help. One is called Feverfew. You should check with your Natropath. Also, you should try putting a dab of lavender oil on either side of your temple. That is also supposed to help.
You can go to your doctor and they can prescribe medication to assist. Be warned you’re not supposed to take paracetamol or ibuprofen, Panadol & Nurofen, as these are designed for headaches. A headache results from blood vessels in your brain contracting so headache tablets reverse this by expanding the blood vessels. Migraines result from expanded blood vessels therefore headache tablets make it worse.
My girlfriend gets migraines so this is information that I found from the web to help her. I’m not a doctor!!!
She finds that she needs to sleep them off in a darkened room. You should really see a doctor though.
i used to put a cold ice pack; then followed by a warm/sort of hot water bottle. (something about changing from hot to cold and vice vera helped somewhat; ASK YOUR DOC before u try this; there are medications for migraines; ask u r doc; best wishes; it used to help me a little to lie in darm room.
i used to have them for fifteen yrs of my life—til i had a nervous breakdown—-then i stopped having many of them; THEY WERE TERRIBLE!!! i HAD THEM most all time and no med’s would help them – but i usually did not go to Doc WHILE i HAD ONE OF THEM–SO I WAS NOT OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED WITH MIGRAINE.
Well, there is a fairly new Swiss method to really get rid of your migraine – in ONE treatment.
No medicine, only a manual treatment in a continuous movement. Invest 220 Dollars and enjoy your new life!
(at present, therapists are active in California and Europe)
I’m absolutely convinced of the method, have sent more than 30 people there personally and probably many more by www. Until now there is a 100% positive feedback.
The homepage is nothing to be proud of, but the treatment is!
