I am a 30 year old mommy of 3 and been having these severe headaches that won't go away?

Question

I have been to the hospital numerous of times and they ran some test on me and a ct scan and everything seemed fine. I am just worried. I recently had an anxiety attack due to stress. I am doing just fine now, no depression or anger just these headaches that won't go away. Its not just on the top of my head, its on the back and I am afraid to take motrin and the other medication that they prescribed me with cause its not working. I wanna tell the dr about it again but I have a feeling that she just gonna prescribe me another med that wont cure it. maybe i should just calm myself down until who knows when these headaches will go away. is there anything that u guys can help me with? Also I been drinking chamomille tea to relax my mind.

Answer 1

I had a friend who was allergic to red food coloring. A lot of meds and just about every food contains it.  It was a hard one for them to pinpoint because it's not quite as obvious.  You need to keep an eye on the things you wouldn't quite consider.  I'm allergic to corn syrup.  There are common things that everybody eats every day and they never think twice about.  Pay attention to what you take into your body.

I would recommend going on an organic/natural diet for a week or two and see if that helps.  

Answer 2

Your spine may be out of alignment.

Answer 3

What other med were you prescribed? Whyare you afraid to take Motrin?

Are you on a regular exercise schedule?

Do the headaches occur at a certain time of the month or after you eat a certain thing or go a certain place? If you aren't keeping a diary of this, I would start.

Tell your doc. Pain is a subjective thing and not everything works for everyone. Make sure she knows you are using the tea. Herbs sometimes interact neagtively with other medications.

You should also look at your protein intake. Not getting enough can cause headaches.

Are you getting 8-10 glasses of water a day? Most people are dehydrated and that can also cause headaches.

Answer 4

Hormonal Migraines...talk to you doctor again.  I answered your other question.

Answer 5

For starters, I'm not a doctor, or probably qualified to answer this responsibly. I'll tell you what worked for me. I have neck problems that will give me the most brutal migraines ever. I'm talking debilitating.

I started practicing Tai Chi and went to a seminar by one of the four greats in the Chen style.

Before we did anything, he had everyone do simple neck rotations for about 10 minutes. Just rotate left, and rotate right. Not too much, but just enough to engage the muscles and loosen the neck/spine.

After years of chiropractic treatment, all I needed to do was the most basic of exercises... neck rotations.

I haven't had a bad migraine since, and I avoid pills.

Maybe I helped, maybe I didn't... good luck.
