There can be an umpteen number of reasons for a headache attack, realizing the immediate origin always is a tough task. There is the plain headache, which can be endured without affecting the day to day activities while sometimes there can be a severe headache or migraine, which will totally stop you in your tracks.

The symptoms have been increasing slowly over the past several months. It sort of crept up on me, until I finally noticed that I’ve been taking Excedrin about 3-4 times a day.

I go to bed with a headache. Wake up with one. The Excedrin provides some relief until 4 to 6 hours later when I have to take some more.

I feel pain on both sides of my head and also in the area around and behind my eyes, but I have no sinus symptoms and don’t have allergies.

I was wondering if any of you ladies on here who have already gone through menopause would tell me if when your period DOES end, can it just SUDDENLY END? I’m 48 years old and as of yet have not had any of the symptoms you read about (hot flashes, etc) but my period normally comes like clockwork and now I am almost a week late. And I’m not having any of the symptoms I normally usually get before my period comes, like headaches and feeling bloated.

I took a pregnancy test today and it came back negative.

Lately i’ve been getting alot of headaches, stomach ache, senstive to light or loud noises and have lost my appetite. Are these symptoms of migraines? And how do i get rid of them?
Thanks.

About three weeks ago I started getting daily headaches. They are not severe, and they go away with a couple ibuprofen. They are more of a minor nucense than anything. I have been doing some reading trying to find what it could be, but I an not sure. I am slightly nearsighted, but I do not wear anything for it. This has been the case for a while, and my vision does not seem to be any worse recently, nor do I find my self squinting any more than normal. I do have elivated blood pressure, but has stayed fairly stable and does not require medication. Also it is just in the head (left side from the temple back). I do not have any neck or back pain. Also while I do not have any pain in my jaw or mouth, I find when I open my mouth slightly this does help with the pain? Any suggestions.
Don’t think it would be CO. I live in an apartment on the third floor with no gas appliances, and the windows have all been open for the past month. For the sinusitis, it is more towards the back of my head, not as much on the front of my face. I am going to the dentist on Wednesday, so I will see what he says.

My little sister has been on amitriptyline and sertraline for quite some time for chronic daily headaches, and developed many of what we just realized are listed under the rare but serious side effects of both. Things like the abnominal pain, nausea and vomiting, and seizures are included in this. Does anyone know what happened if it really was caused by the medicine?

I am 27/f and for the last 10 years I have had chronic daily headaches. I have been to a million doctors, had cat scans, mri’s, been checked for every single thing and everything has been negative. Also off and on for the last 3 years, I have had tingling, muscle pain, eye pain, majoyr neck and back pain. I have been checked for lyme and ms and it has been negative as well. My headaches and back/neck pain are real bad. Any advice.

I start getting a light headache that will not go away for many hours then just tonight i started having double vision or at least it seemed like it. It also seemed like there was a think coating of something over my eyes. Could these symptoms be leading up to a migraine. What should I do? It has been happening for a week.

I used to get terrible headaches at least once a week, but I have noticed every since I lost my virginity about a month ago, and have had continuous sex I have not had a headache.
