Almost consistent headaches/migraines?

Question

So, I've had the same mini-migraine (gets worse at night) for 3 days so far. Not even Migraine medicine (excedrin) makes it go away, just makes it a little less painful.

Husband says I need to see a doctor due to how often & how bad my headaches can get. Just curious, what could possibly be causing these headaches? (I haven't recorded how often they come, but it's definitely more often than not. Husband says it seems like I always have one!)

Answer 1

My mom has really bad migraines also and her doctor told her that one of the main causes of them is eating a lot of ice cream or really cold things that give you "brain freeze". They gave her prescription medicine to take when they come. But its a really serious problem because i think it has to do with your brain and aneurysms are dangerous....i'd see a doctor.  

Answer 2

If your headaches are interfering with your life you need to see a doctor.

Migraines are a special kind of head ache.  See: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/migrain...

There are much stronger things than you are taking that will make a difference.

If you are having true migraines several times a month I would see some one about preventive treatment. When I was having them every day at 3:05 P.M. I really looked hard for a cure. I am down to 3 or 4 a year and those have no pain with them. I just have visual problems for about 15 minutes.

My son was 5 when he had his first migraine. He saw the same visual pattern I do.  He picked the same one out the book I did.

There is help for all kinds of head aches.

Might be your hormones, or it might be the birth control your on (if your on any at the moment) if not...maybe you should be...the hormones might help it stop.

I have the same problem but my doctor told me it was because I was getting TOO much estrogen from my b/c pills, so he knocked down the dosage.  It has helped.

It might also be your eyes, you might want to keep them checked out.

Answer 4

you should ask your doctor about two meds: Amerge, and Maxalt.

I use both to treat my migraines and they work very well.

but mostly i prefer Maxalt. It works very quickly. I know what you're going through. But i guarantee you'll feel much better when you have these meds! i've used them for 3 yrs! Good luck! Hope you feel better soon!...

Answer 5

I dont know how old you are, but have you had your blood pressure checked recently? You should see a doctor and at least have a ct. scan so they can rule out anything serious and come up with a medication to get rid of your headache.  Pain is a sign that something is wrong. Dont ignore it.
