What is the difference between migraines and headaches? ?

Question

Also what can I do to help ease them? Sometimes the pain is so bad that it forces my eyes closed and I have to lay down. Going to sleep doesn't really help because the pain keeps me awake. I've taken medicine to help me sleep but I don't want to have to continue depending on it. I can't sleep through my life. It hurts to massage my head. When I have headaches, my forehead gets really tender.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to make it better it would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Answer 1

There are many kinds of headaches and many reasons for them. You need to see a doctor to find out what kind of headache you have and the possible cause. Many headaches can be stopped before they start. You did not list all of the symptoms of a migraine headache.

Good luck!
