Question by Susan S: is there a low sugar diet I could go on that would help with my frequent headaches?
I’ve been getting frequent headaches/migraines for as long as I can remember and I’m beginning to find out that it could be caused from too much sugar. Though my blood tests have always come back normal for my glucose, (blood pressure & cholesterol is high) even had A1c taken and was normal. Could I have problems with blood sugar even though I’m not tested diabetic?

As per doctor’s orders, I did two months of continuous dosing with Ortho Cyclen to avoid starting my period on my wedding day. I stopped taking the pill almost two weeks ago, and my symptoms have gotten worse ever since. The first few days off the pill, I had mild nausea after eating, but it wasn’t really bothersome. Now, I’m suffering from constant nausea accompanied by a dull headache, changes in urination, and hot flashes- I am 22 years old. Sudden temperature change (taking a shower, using car AC) seems to bring the symptoms on strongly. Is this all associated with stopping the pill or something else?

I’m four months late, I am NOT pregnant.
These last four months its been like constant pms. Cramps, back aches, I’ve been extremely moody, bloating, weight gain, breast tenderness and my skin has been breaking out horribly.
I’ve also had a lot of headaches, trouble sleeping, I’ve been sore all over for no reason, itchy skin, and what worries me the most: hot flashes.
I’m going crazy right now.
I’m only 18, and I recently found out that my mother went threw early menopause.
I’ve also been getting a lot of hairs on my chin.
I forget to mention that.
I said EARLY MENOPAUSE.
yes it happens.
My mother went threw it when she was in her 20s.
I’m going to the gyno tomorrow.
I just cant sleep (again), and I because worried after finding that out from my mom.

I’ve already asked this question before, but I resolved it before I could add details to get more answers.

Many people believe they suffer from chronic sinus headaches because they frequently suffer from sever pain around their sinus areas in their face and head. It is possible to have chronic sinus headaches however the condition is rare and can only be diagnosed by a doctor.

A chronic sinus headache would not be as painful as the more common acute sinus headache which occurs during a sinus infection. When sinuses are clogged bacteria can grow in the nasal passages creating an infection of the nasal passages commonly known as a sinus infection.

I’m in my early 20′s, no children, unmarried. Lately I’ve had some strange symptoms that reminds my mother of when she was going into menopause, so I’m a little concerned.

Here’s the list:
Mild acne (haven’t had it since I was in Jr. High)
Increased amount of headaches
Breast tenderness/nipples changing color
Intermittent skin flushing/feeling hot
Mild weight gain without a cause(I’m an avid exerciser)
Sudden, constant, digestive problems (gas/constipation) without a cause
Lastly, my always regular, predictable periods (every 27 days, 6 days long, heavy bleeding MONSTER cramps) have become almost non-existent.e
Light/Moderate bleeding, no cramps whatsoever, 6 days later than usual, 3.5 days long.)

Could I be going into menopause? What else could cause these symptoms?

I’m fifteen years old and recently, September 12th, I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend of five months using the pull out method That same night I started feeling really intense stomach pain to the point I couldn’t move, and it continued on until that morning. When the pain went away, what was left was a weird sensation in my stomach, and I’ve been feeling that everyday ever since.
As well as that, my breasts have been extremely sensitive which is not normal for me. I’ve also been extremely bloated and that happens only about a week before I get my period, but I’ve also gained a few pounds.
Another symptom is I’ve been feeling nauseated/ extremely dizzy at randomly points of the day, and after I eat I feel like I need to throw up, although I haven’t.
The last thing is I’ve had a increasingly bad headache. I do suffer from chronic daily headaches, but they seem to have gotten worse lately.
My period isn’t due until October 3rd, so I’m not able to take a pregnancy test, but the paranoia is driving me and my boyfriend up the wall…we really don’t know what to do.
Think I could be pregnant…or just extremely bad PMS signs?

Today i was sitting in class, and the left side of my vision suddenly got cloudy. (kind of like when you look into a light and you get those little dark spots…except it was much worse than that), and it kept getting worse, so i went to the school nurse. She thought it was a problem with my contact lens, but it wasn’t. It eventually went away, and i got a massive headache. The pain was/is only on the right side of my head, from right above my eye to about my ear.
I took advil(ibuprofen) because that’s all i had at school, even though i know tylenol is better for headaches. The pain got a little better, but it’s still kind of there as a dull ache, and whenever i move my head quickly it hurts.
My mom and my brother both get migraines….
Do you think this is a migraine? Are these typical symptoms of a migraine?
