What do you think could be the cause of my headache? -look below for more info.?

Question

i have had a headache for about two weeks. it can become very severe and strong but it sometimes dwindles into a barely noticeable pain. it usually happens out of the blue, but it also occurs when i get up too quickly, or move to fast(and its usually a sharp pain). i can become sensitive to light and sound, and my eyes tend to ache also. im not sure what is the cause of it is, but i would really like to figure it out. thanks. : )

Answer 1

Long but worth the reading.

Make the connection....This is the best headache and Migraine info.

Being a nurse with over 25 years experience, I have seen a lot of patients with various disorders and I have learned ....

Many headaches are caused from common everyday chemicals and fragranced products as well as VOC's in homes, schools and workplace.

This is a growing problem for many people and most are not even aware that it exists as more and more chemicals are being introduced and used on a daily basis.

Many people believe that because a product smells good or cleans well and it is on a store shelf that it is tested, approved and safe for use.

Think again !

We are now seeing more and more children and adults with skin disorders, nausea, dizziness, nausea, Chronic Headaches, Sinusitis, Migraines, Asthma, Allergies, Hives, Chronic Hives, Eczema, sinus / respiratory illnesses and Hormone related disorders.

I can not emphasize how important it is to educate yourself about the harm you may be doing to your health by using chemicals and fragranced products.

If you or a loved one has symptoms of or suffers from chronic headaches, reproductive problems, Migraines, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Lupus or Fibromyalgia, you need to read further and learn about the signs and symptoms of MCS - Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.

Most doctors will not inform you about this because patients as a whole like to walk out of a doctors office with a prescription for some magical medicine and they do not want to be told that their expensive new perfume or newly installed carpet may be the culprit. So, the doctor will give you medications and many of these meds either do not work or cause other health problems.

Chemicals and fragranced products are often the root of many disorders and illnesses when it comes to your health. Many of the below mentioned items are common triggers to sinus, asthma, itching, headaches, Migraines and allergy problems amongst other health issues. Get rid of them and your immune and respiratory system will thank you and you will breathe easier.

And, it is not only personal body or cleaning products causing havoc on your health….many people become ill after wearing brand new clothing, dry-cleaned clothes, installing new carpet, painting, buying a new mattress or after home renovations because of the Flame Retardants, Antimony, Benzenes, Formaldehydes, etc. used in these products. So the answer is NO, you are not imagining that 2 weeks after your home, office or classroom got renovated you started to become ill, get dizzy or have headaches. This is happening more and more these days and adults as well as children are becoming sicker and sicker.

Unfortunately, too many doctors compound the problem by prescribing chemical medications to try to alleviate the symptoms of an already chemical overloaded body and they rarely tell the patient to eliminate the chemical offenders. How many times have I seen people in the grocery store with Bounce, Glade Plug-Ins and Febreeze in their shopping cart along with a bottle of Benadryl , Migraine Excedrin and a box of Allergy Tablets ? Why don't they make the connection?

Keep in mind that your skin is the largest organ of your body and what you put on your skin gets absorbed into your body. Then ... well... then it has to be filtered by your organs which are already working real hard.

BIG NO-NO's ---- I would SERIOUSLY recommend removing all of the below from your living / working area.

No Bounce or dryer sheets - these are VERY toxic

No Febreeze - your pets will even thank you for this

No Glade Plug-ins - VERY toxic

No Scented candles

No Scented Dish Detergents

No Fragranced Products on Body, Hair or Clothing

No Smoke

No Newspapers and Magazines - The ink is a huge irritant.

No Dander

No Sprays

No Sharpies (marker pens)

New Cartpeting, mattresses, paint, contain toxins that can trigger severe respiratory disorders as well as headaches and Asthma flare-ups.

And remember, it is NOT the smell it is the Chemicals that make up the smell. So, even if something is "Fragrance Free" these products often mask the smell with another chemical ! There are plenty of safe healthy products out there that work well and do not have added chemical fragrances.

More and more workplaces & schools are implementing Fragrance Free policies and creating "Fragrance Free Zones"… why do you think this is? Make the connection, your lungs , immune system and your general health will thank you.

Answer 5

it sounds to me like you get migraines or you have sinus issues,....i had headaches all of the time and my doctor found it was due to sphenoid sinus problems,...according to him       (the doc),...those type of headaches  are hard to explain unless there is a reason to look for problems there ( in my case, the docs gave me medicine and such which didnt work at all,...cuz they only looked at my head/brain until they finally looked at my sinuses and then presto),.....i sincerely appologize if that made no sense at all,...........
