Q: Headache symptoms?
I’ve never been one to have bad headaches, but lately I’ve had several exteme ones with some weird symptoms. Within the last 2.5 months, I’ve had probably just two extemely painful headaches, with no other real symptoms and two which started with my right eye doing something funny, almost as if there were a glare and I couldn’t see quite properly. The headache at this point wasn’t so bad, but then I was talking and it was as if I couldn’t for sentences and words properly without thinking really hard about what I was saying…it was a little scary. I knew what I wanted to say, the words just didn’t come out right. Those two things lasted probably 15 minutes with only a mild headache, then the headache became worse and I slept it off. Anyway, I don’t know what to contribute it to…stress, maybe caffeine (I have like 1 latte usually a day), I don’t know…I think if it happens again I will go to the doctor, but I thought I would ask if anyone had experienced similar symptoms. Thanks

A: It sounds like you are having migraines. They are very painful. You should make an appointment to see your doctor. The doctor will most likely refer you to a neurologist.

Check out Webmd.com and wikipedia.com both sites have pretty good explanations of migraines and a lot of information on treatments.

Q: Headache Symptoms?
What type of headache is it when the symptoms are right across the front of the forehead & seems to come the same time each day?

A: what is the character of the pain? is it pulsating? how painful, in a scale of 1-10 ten being the highest? since when did u have this? is it associated with colds?

firstly, it could be frontal sinusitis. is it painful when apply pressure on the forehead? if it is, then most probably it is indeed sinusitis. have a decongestant and antibiotics. decongestant if u have a stuffy nose because sinusitis is very related to allergic rhinitis (modern term for sinusitis is now rhinosinusitis). and antibiotics for the infection that might ensue, both prophylactic and therapeutic.

or it could be sluder’s syndrome. management is antiinflammatories to nasal surgery. depends on the severity and type.

tension type headache could also be one. relax, have ur BP checked.

try mefenamic acid. if it wont eradicate the pain, it is best to consult your doctor. self medicate once, but if i doesnt work, see a doctor. get well! goodluck!

Q: What are the most common Migraine Headache Symptoms?
I think I’ve been experiencing migraine headaches and I needed to know what are the more common migraine headache symptoms?

A: A majority of the migraine attacks are accompanied by headache, which is an intense, throbbing or pounding pain involving one temple. At times, the pain may be located in the forehead or around the eye or the back of the head. Usually, migraine attack reoccurs and is a chronic disability. The headache is generally on one side of the head, though it may rarely happen on both the sides. The unilateral headache changes sides alternatively, from one attack to another, which is, in fact, characteristic of migraine (otherwise it may be a more serious problem).

Daily routines like walking upstairs can aggravate a migraine headache. The most common and obvious symptoms of migraine are nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light. Some people experience warning symptoms called aura before the actual beginning of a headache. An aura is a group of symptoms, mainly a vision disturbance which foretells that a headache is coming. But, most of the people do not have such warning signs. In fact, migraine headaches are classified based on their symptoms such as migraine without aura, migraine with aura and mixed tension migraine.

Migraine without aura: The most common symptoms can be a throbbing pulsating headache, which is usually worse on the sides of the forehead, generally only on one side, that can be either severe or dull, lasting for six to forty eight hours. The other symptoms are dizziness, vertigo (a feeling that the room is moving), loss of appetite, fatigue and nausea. There may be symptoms after a migraine attack too. It can be dullness, neck pain and a need for more sleep. Such symptoms may be accompanied apart from headache.

Migraine with aura: Before the headache, the warning symptoms may occur anywhere from a few minutes to 24 hours and the aura or vision changes happen in one or both the eyes. The symptoms may be one or more of the following; seeing zigzag lines, seeing flashing lights, temporary blind spots, sensitivity to bright light, visual hallucinations, blurred vision and eye pain. Accompanying the headache, there are other symptoms like loss of appetite, chills, increased urination, increased sweating, irritability and fatigue. The “pounding” headache starts on one side and spreads to the other side that typically starts as a dull ache and progressively worsens over several minutes to hours. So, the patients wish to rest in a quiet, dark room.

Mixed tension migraine: This migraine is a headache with features of both tension and migraine headache. The symptoms include headache on one or both sides and the person may feel dull, tight and the pain, which varies from mild to severe, may get worse with activity, lasting from 4 to 72 hours. Sensitivity to light or sound, depression, tingling, sluggishness, numbness, and weakness are other symptoms.

Unfortunately, migraine headache is a recurring chronic ailment, which may recur after 24 hours for some people. For more info visit http://migraine-headache-symptoms.blogspot.com

Q: At what week in pregnancy do the headache symptoms start?
Do they the headaches start at about 5-6-7 weeks in early pregnancy? & whats it caused by. . . .

A: Experiencing headaches during pregnancy is one of the most common discomforts and complaints. Headaches may occur at any time during your pregnancy, but they tend to be most common during the first and third trimesters.

An increase in headaches during the first trimester is believed to be caused by the surge of hormones along with an increase in the blood volume circulating throughout your body. These headaches may be further aggravated by stress, poor posture or changes in your vision.

Headaches during the third trimester tend to be related more to poor posture and tension from carrying extra weight. Headaches during the third trimester may also be caused by a condition called preeclampsia, which is high blood pressure during pregnancy.

If you are not able to prevent headaches, there are still things that you can do to help them go away. During pregnancy, you want to try and relieve your headache by natural means if possible. Pain relief medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen are not recommended in most pregnancies; however, acetaminophen may be reccommended by your health care provider

A: bad thoughts

Q: Weird symptoms like headache, chest pains and arm tingling?
These weird symptoms have been going on for 3 days now and it’s not getting any better. I’ve been to the doctors twice this week and I’ve been to the hospital but they couldn’t find anything wrong with me. They assume its anxiety but even when I’m calm I still feel this terrible weird headache and my arms just feel like theres something crawling underneath. Plus I get weird chest pains like my heart is heavy. It’s scaring me.

A: Sometimes severe anxiety attacks can feel to a person like a heart attack. It’s really not anything completely serious. Your symptoms increase when you panic about the “condition”.

Take some deep breaths, eat well and make sure to get plenty of sleep. For your headaches, try some tylenol. Nothing with caffeine, because this can make the symptoms worse.

Q: What is the cause of these symptoms: headache, fever, moody or anguish,pain on the Right rib town to the waist?
The rib and waist pain is mostly felt when sitting still, e.g like when in a car or so when there is no free movement. i feel disturbed and uncomfortable as if a hand is is inserted through ma rib and pulling ma intestine,liver or kidney.

A: it could be appendicitis. u shud definitely go c ur doctor so they could run sum tests on u. but since u complained of a fever it must be some sort of infection not necessarily ur appendix, but can be ur intestine or kidney. u have to go to the doctor asap if ur condition persists or worsens. good luck

Q: What is blood shot eyes and a headache symptoms of?
No, I’m not hungover, I’m serious! I’m getting enough sleep, etc.

A: Do you drink too much soda, not enough water…?? Sounds like dehydration, which is actually what a hangover is, but you don’t have to have been drunk to be dehydrated. If your body is’nt getting enough water, then you’ll suffer those symptoms. Try drinking a few full glasses of water and see if it helps.
If that does’nt work, then maybe you need glasses, eye strain can cause those symptoms as well.

Q: What can I buy at the drugstore for; symptoms headache, body ache, coughing.,chills?
slight fever?…I have a Dr.’s appointment next week…I don’t want to go to the ER because It get’s too expensive even with my insurance..
I wish I could go home but my job has a new attendance policy which sux its very strict and i NEED TO save my vacation time for the summer..

A: Maybe you should go vomit on your boss’s desk! What a crumby leave policy!

If you have the flu, making the diagnosis in the first 48 hours is important because you can take antiviral medicines to shorten the course of the illness. Otherwise, a combination cold or flu medicine would probably be helpful. Many of these products have tylenol or motrin in them, which is likely to be the most effective ingredient. Drink lots of water.

Q: what do dizziness and headache look like to ensure they are HIV symptoms?
How long do dizziness and headache take to ensure they are HIV symptoms?
I am now living very far from the town, no blood testing service at the place where i am living. That’s why i would like to know how long do dizziness and headache and together with a cough take to ensure they are opportunistic disease or HIV symptoms.

A: First ask yourself these ?’s……..Have you exposed yourself to anyone that has the vrus? How long ago was that? the best thing to do is go get tested……..

some people live 10 years with no symptoms, others live and die in 6 months………

You usually wont have symptoms for a little while after being exposed, unless you already have a poor immune system…

Q: I have cold symptoms and severe headache caused by detoxification and want to know how long it will last?
I’ve been on a detox diet for a week now and i heard the symptoms of detoxification are bad, but mine are real uncomfortable. i want to know how long to expect these symptoms for.

A: Good luck with your detoxification. It will last as long as you have anything in your system. It usually takes a few weeks to be really cleansed. Hang in there. It will get better.

A: sounds like toncilitis to me you are going to need antibiotics to clear that up

Q: What would the sickness be for these symptoms? Sore throat, chills, fever, mild headache, a little dizziness?
What would the sickness be for these symptoms?
My daughter is 12 years old. It began with a sore and rough throat.

I am guessing flu, or strep throat?

A: Yep….somewhere up that alley. There are always weird germs going around so go buy that aloe vera plant and give it to her. I know it is disgustingly nasty but it will definately defend her from these germs out here, in addition to strengthen her immune system. Also alot of healthy soup involving peas

Q: Why do I get a headache and sinus symptoms with approaching rainy, cold weather?
With lots of pain in the eyes.

A: When a front moves through your srea is changes the air pressure (the concept that is expressed by reading a barometer). You may just be hypersensitive to pressure changes. Does the same thing happen when you fly or anything like that? It might now due to the fact that they are severe pressure changes but usually people who get headaches with weather changes are hypersensitive to slight pressure changes.

Or you might be able to predict the future…. lol. Just kidding

Q: sinus headache?
I have had a horrible headache off and on for about 3 weeks which would start when I would cough or strain in any way. The headache stayed for two days in which I tried imitrex (I have had migraines for 3 years now), heat, ice and advil. I went to the walk in clinic and they sent me to the er for test in which they did a ct scan which showed all of the sinus cavities inflammed i guess. the doctor mentioned something about a sinus cavity located deep inside your head was causing me pain. I was in the worse pain ever and i havehad migrianes and kidney stones. he gave amoxicillan, steriod pack and percocet for pain. I have had no other sinus symptoms besides pain and pressure like drainge, cough, or ear and throat pain like I usally experience with a sinus infection. Is this a normal sinus headache? WIll I experience drainage after the pressure goes away? My biggest question is what are the chances I will have this again?

A: I would try a saline nasal rinse (not a spray.) A full warm water saline rinse goes in one nostril and out the other. It draws out all the gunk and shrinks the tissue (like swimming in the ocean). The buffered salt doesn’t ’sting’ as much as plain salt water. You can use a new method like Nasopure, or the vintage, Netipot.

Q: Is it possible to have a sinus-related headache if I do not have any other symptoms of a sinus infection?
Just wondering if this is possible. I definitely have pressure in my head that feels like sinus pressure, but I don’t have any other symptoms like nasal discharge or anything like that. If so, are there any good ways to help ease the pain/pressure without taking medicine?

A: Yes. Impacted sinus infection can be well up there and not dripping and hurts above the eyes and eyebrows. Sometimes across the forehead. But this type is rarer than a normal sinus infection. Have you had a cold or virus in the last week or two? Fever? Earache? These can also cause sinus pain. Also, you can get this pain after flying and having inner ear infections and it ends up in your sinuses and ears. Water in the canals from ears from swimming can bring on a sinus infection.

So there are many causes. Another is straining from the eyes, can hurt not only above the eyes and eyebrows, but behind the eyes as well. This comes with being on computer too long and not blinking enough.

If you still have this pain and it gets overwhelming, see your doctor.

Q: Sinus/pressure headache & sore throat with no other symptoms?
For three days I’ve had a sinus headache, like the one you get when you have a fever and if you move your head too quickly it aches, and a slightly sore throat that feels kind of tight but I’ve felt fine otherwise and I am fine doing my daily routine and such, unless I move my head too quickly lol. I haven’t been tired or had a blocked/runny nose or any other symptoms.

What is this supposed to be? Is it a cold, or allergies or what?
Btw I don’t have health insurance yet, I’m not going to the doctor lol

A: allergy or sinus infection. See your Dr.

Q: what are the symptoms of a sinus headache?
does one also make the neck tired and achy too?

A: An overview of sinus headaches, which are associated with a deep and constant pain in the cheekbones, forehead, or bridge of the nose.It could also move to the neck, as stiffness.

Q: Are my symptoms a migraine or sinus headache?
My symptoms are left and right side headaches, but mostly on my left side, with pain and pressure with swelling in my frontal and cheek area. I would always go to a urgent care clinic and they would take x-ray and say I had sinus infection and gave me antibitoic and sometimes IV. I went to my medical doctor and she thought it was a sinus infection and gave me amoxicillin which helped and made the swelling go down, but comes right back after I stop taking the antibitoic. She also had me get a cat scan and to see a ENT doctor. My cat scan came back normal, but I don’t know if that’s because I was on the antibitoic and it cleared it up and I went ENT and he said I didn’t have sinus, because the cat scan was normal. I went back to my medical doctor and she said I must have migraine then and gave me ibuprofen. So I don’t know if it is just a migraine or sinus headaches or both.

A: I suffer with both sinus problems and migraines so I know the difference. What you are describing sounds like sinusitis. It’s different things that can inflame your sinuses. For me, it is smoke, stiff air, certain scents or too much cold. It recently got horrible where it felt like it was a combo of both sinus and migraine pain. I had started a new job in a night club and it was the fact that it was hot in there, extra smokey without ventilation and me stepping out into the night’s cool air with short dresses and open toe shoes that aggravated my sinuses. I haven’t been back in over a month and still I’ve been having problems but they’re slowly going away and getting better. The only things that help me are taking a hot shower where the whole bathroom is steamy which provides the moisture and warmth your sinuses need and medicine that has a combo of pseudoephedrine hci(can only get this over the counter now) and ibprophen. The pseudoephedrine is the only thing that really helps the sinus pain. Anything else is not worth getting. I almost forgot, Mucinex DM or the one that says it helps with the nasal congestion(I think it’s Extra Strength) really helps too. If it’s as bad as I think it is for you, take a Mucinex in the morning with a full glass of water and a dose of the medicine with the pseudo&ibprophen and then take another Mucinex 8-12 hours later. It works best when you take two daily. If by chance you are plus size like I am, don’t be afraid to take an extra pill of the sinus medicine. If you’re average size then don’t. I hope that helps and I hope you feel better! I know you’re pain but this really helps me…P.S-It may be something in your enviroment that has aggravated this problem if it just started not too long ago. Just think what have you done differently lately. It could be a scent, detergent, new area, anything. You never know what can affect you. Just think about it.

Q: what symptoms do u personally get when you have a sinus headache?
Not infection just headache

A: Pain in the forehead & sinus pain. Temples ache & upper teeth hurt. Sinus headaches are the worst!

Q: Help! I’ve had a terrible headache for 2 days. No sinus symptoms, but it is worse when I bend over?

A: Sounds like a migraine, my mom gets them and it sometimes takes a week for them to go away entirely. You can try exedrine, its a mixture of aspirin, tylenol and caffeine, and is made specifically for migraines. If it doesn’t go away soon and since you have never had any problems like this before, I suggest you go to the doctor just in case.

Q: Whats the symptoms of a sinus pressure headache?
Some body suggested that i might have this so yeah…
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuznU.4rpE0LFLibNA4mo7Xsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090806044540AAUxirk please look at this link befor answering, it’s me asking this q

A: It could be, try taking Claritin and see if it helps. Another way to determine this is to bend forward, does it get worse ? feel like the front of your face is coming off ? that’s a definite sign. It could just be due to allergies, and the Claritin or like OTC meds will help.

Q: Can a sinus headache just randomly cause nausea?
I’ve had a splitting headache for a few hours, and now I’m feeling very nauseous.

I believe this is a sinus related headache, because I’ve had mild cold symptoms today. . . Have you ever experienced nausea with a sinus headache?

A: Yes it can. Headaches cause nausea on their own, but sinus headaches are caused by a buildup of pressure in the sinus cavities combined with swelling, inflammation, and occasionally infection. If the pressure in the sinus cavities gets great enough to cause pressure on the blood vessels and nerves to the brain, or worse, in the brain itself, nausea is sure to follow. Even without this, the other causes of sinus headaches are prime causes for nausea. Additionally, when a person has sinusitis, they require more fluid than normal, but tend to consume less. Thus, the resulting dehydration may lead to further nausea.

Because you are not entirely sure that this is caused by sinusitis, it is equally possible that you are developing the flu. In either case, you should be proactive. Take a steam bath to clear out and open your sinus cavities, and remove excess mucous before it helps to build an infection. You may want to take a de-congestant like Musinex DM or Sudafed D. If you develop a fever, or stay sick for more than a week, go to see a doctor, you may have developed an infection, or caught the flu.

Q: What symptoms of a sinus infection will cold medicine alleviate?
We thought my sister had a cold. She took cold medicine today, and it didn’t alleviate any of her symptoms, so we believe it began as a sinus infection instead of manifested into one from a cold. Is this possible? Should the cold medicine helped at least some of her sinus pressure, headache and nasal drainage/congestion?

A: The only sinus medicine that will really help congestion is sudafed or pseudoephedrine (generic name). You need to buy this behind the counter at the drugstore as some idiots make methamphetamine out of the active ingredient. If it is actually a sinus infection (lasts more than a few days), she needs to see the doctor for antibiotics or even steroids. Remember, your sinuses are very close to your brain and you do not want an infection there. I had to have surgery on my sinuses as many people do, because they are closed off by bone and infections can build up in these closed spaces. Nasal sprays like Afrin are OK for a few days, but no more. They have a rebound effect that makes your sinuses swell up after you use them, so you can be stuck using them for the rest of your life. Does she have a headache in the front of her face (eyes, cheeks, etc.) that feels like pressure? That can indicate sinus problems. If she’s not better in a few days, have her bend over forward and see if the pain gets worse-sinus pressure worsens in this position. If she doesn’t get better after a few days anyways, she needs to see a good ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat doctor), not just your family doctor. This can be very prolonged and painful if left untreated, trust me.

Q: Sinus headache over right eye with these symptoms….?
My right nasal cavity feels like someone poured pepper up my nose, no drainage, just a little stopped up. Pounding headache over and behind my right eye that goes down into the back of my neck. I get these every other week and these last for 2-3 days. I have taken Aleve, Excedrin Sinus Headache and Excedrin Migraine and they don’t phase it. I’m ready to beat my head against at wall! Anyone else get these? It’s only on my right side and I know it’s something screwed up in my sinus cavity because my upper right nostril hurts then I can touch areas on my eyebrow and side of my jaw and outer ear that are sore but feel better when I press hard on them. This affect the back of my neck. I’m going to the doctor as soon as my medical insurance kicks in at my new job but in the meantime I was wondering if anyone else has this and what they do to relieve the pain!!!!

A: This could be a migraine. People often mistake a migraine for sinus problems. Sometimes sinus problems trigger migraines. When do these occur? Do you get them after sleeping late, gettin up too early in the morning,eating certain foods, exposure to chemicals, dehydration. etc. It will help the doctor make the diagnosis if you keep a log of youir activities to see if anything triggers the headache.

Q: Is it possible to have a sinus infection without having symptoms of a runny nose?
My little boy keeps getting these bad headaches and the doctor said after a ct scan that there was “a little” something going on in the sinus area and he was treated with antibiotics, and was headache free for 2 weeks and now it is back. He has no other symptoms other than the headache. I thought sinus infections would at least have a runny nose with it, or being stuffy.

A: Yes, hay fever/sinusitis/allergies could be causing it. Some people sneeze, some people have runny noses… while others get headaches or nausea. I have a real bad time with motion sickness when my sinuses are infected. Even when they’re just irritated, before they become infected, I still feel sick and have a headache!

Maybe take him to see a Naturopath or allergies specialist. You don’t wanna keep putting him on antibiotics for allergies… you need to find the root of the issue. His immune system is overactive… there are many natural things that can help that such as nutrition/diet recommendations, herbal supplements and so forth. Goodluck!

Q: Does my continuous headache/head pressure sound like a sinus headache/infection?
I have been having headaches/head pain for the past 3 months. I have been to several doctors and had a brain MRI, but none have been able to help me. After telling a couple friends about my headaches, they have suggested it could be sinus related, but I wanted to ask others who have sinus headaches. Here are my symptoms:
Left side temporal headache/head PRESSURE pain. Started out as severe and shooting pain for 2 weeks, then became dull and throbbing. Sometimes feels like its under my eye/behind my eye and on the side of my nose, sometimes feels like its radiating from the back of my head/neck. The pain is there almost EVERY single day but has left for maybe 2 days at a time at the most and comes and goes throughout the day. Also, I have been having muscle twitches under my left eye for the past 3 weeks. The only treatment I have had is nasal spray which does have an effect. I haven’t been sick, but I do have a lot of drainage/mucous in the back of my throat & occassional sore throat.
Sorry it is supposed to say the nasal spray does ‘not’ have an effect.
ALSO – I forgot to add that the pain increases with sneezing/coughing/straining and leaning over.

A: It seems more likely that you are experiencing a
problem with your vision, do you wear glasses? If you do you may need to see your optometrist, if not you need to see an optometrist. Thank God, your MRI was negative for problems. Generally radiography test like x-rays and cat scans and MRI’s can also show any type of sinus abnormality. However your description appears to be more related to the optic area. Check with an optometrist, make sure you tell them how long you’ve experienced these symptoms. If it is sinus related try Benadryl 25mgs. and see if there’s any relief. Generally Benadryl (diphehydramine) can alleviate the problem with out the effects of taking a pseudophedrine medication like Sudafed. (if medicine makes you sleepy, take half the tab=12.5mgs. instead of 25mgs.)
The muscle twitching could be related to your eyes having to work harder to compensate. Most people experience this when they work on the computer for many hours without a break.

Q: Sick husband, sinus headache?
My husbands sick and I don’t know what to do.. I think it might be a sinus headache, his symptoms that I know are: fatigue, pressure in the nasal thingy like he can’t breath and he feels congested.. and a fever. He can barely move though and he seems like he’s really sore.

(my husband, never gets sick- ever.)

I tried to make him some chicken noodle soup but he won’t eat. Is there anything I should do or should get him from the store to help?? :-/ I’m worried.
ps. he won’t let me set him up with a doctors appt, or call a nurse because he’s stubborn. ..>.<

A: Treatments and drugs

If you’re diagnosed with sinusitis, your doctor may recommend antibiotics. Be sure to finish the entire course of medication you are prescribed- even if your signs and symptoms disappear before all the pills or capsules are gone. This is the only way to eradicate the germs causing the infection. If the sinusitis is related to inflammation or allergies, your doctor may prescribe corticosteroid nasal sprays or pills.

As the sinus infection clears up, the sinus headaches should disappear. In the meantime, over-the-counter pain relievers, decongestants and saline nasal spray might help you feel better. Use these products only as directed. It may help to drink plenty of fluids as well.

If a structural problem in your nasal cavity is contributing to sinusitis or sinus headaches, surgical correction may be recommended.

Q: Symptoms – Headache, nausea, fatigue, unexplained bruises, loss of appetite, etc.?!?
So I’ve been feeling all of these symptoms lately and I was just hoping that maybe some of you health gurus out there would have any idea. My current theory is that it’s just stress, but I don’t really know.
But yes. My headache is fairly constant, though it fluctuates in the amount of pain. At it’s worst it is sharp and debilitating, usually around the side of my head and behind my eyes (though it varies.) I’m also nauseous a LOT, which may or may not be related to my loss of appetite. In addition I’ve been noticing random bruising along my legs and some on my arms that I can’t explain (and I don’t bruise easily!). I’ve also been really tired and weak feeling, and occasionally I’ll start shaking slightly to the point where it’s noticable to other people.
Any ideas? I don’t think it’s serious enough to go to a doctor, I mean they’re just gonna tell me it’s stress anyway.
Oh, I forgot insomnia. Well, the word insomnia may be a bit over-kill but I am definitely having trouble falling asleep at night. Which is weird because I am so exhausted all the time!

A: I think it’s aplastic anemia…http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/aplastic-anemia/DS00322/DSECTION=symptoms

No matter what it really is, time to get to the doctor…try an internist (an internal medicine doctor that is for adults only and looks at a problem in it’s entirety)

Q: What causes these symptoms of heat stroke:nausea,disorientation,headache,and low blood pressure?
and why don’t people sweat when they have heat stroke? what causes it?

A: They sweat all right, and the heat stroke follows. One big mechanism is the loss of sodium. Salt tablets can prevent or cure the condition very nicely.

Q: How do the symptoms of a concussion, like nausea, headache, neck pain and irritability, last?

A: i’ve had a few real bad concussions, and after the last one, when i wrecked my pickup truck, it really f***ed me up, i’m pissed off all the time, i have ocassional seizures, and have difficulty remembering stuff. the nausea, headache and the rest can last for a few weeks, and if you have liquid coming out of your ear, you got to go to the hospital right away. Strictly sucks.

Q: I have severe upper neck pain with a headache and nausea. What can I do to relive my symptoms?

Q: Could there be something more than my Celiac disease causing painful symptoms? stomach pain, nausea, headache?
Over a month ago I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and began a strict gluten free diet. I still have stomach pain, nausea, headaches and severe fatigue almost all the time. I am only 16 years old and have a very healthy diet. My doctor reccomended staying away from dairy for a few months because celiac disease can cause temporary lactose intolerance that can contribute to symptoms. I’ve cut out dairy for weeks and feel no better. Is it possible that there is something else contributing to my pain like some other disease or condition? The doctor has no idea why I am feeling so much nausea and said that after less than a month most people who have Celiac disease feel much better. I don’t. Sometimes I have these really painful gas pains in my intestine on the left side and I have felt my stomach and it feels like my intestine is hard and lumpy on the left side.

A: I would say give it more time. Most celiac patients see relief in 2-6 weeks, HOWEVER it can take soem months, even years to heal the damage to the intestines. I assume you had blood work and/or an endoscopy ti diagnose the Celiac and your doc is familiar with Celiac and all its applications?
You could be eating gluten and not realize it. It can take much time to learn all the names for gluten and learn how to follow the diet.
Also, cutting out the gluten and the dairy can be quite a shock to your system and in turn cause the nausea, etc. Especially if u are replacing the dairy with soy, which can cause these symptoms in some ppl. And fake sugars (often found in “health” foods) can cause the symptoms listed.

I would say give it some more time and then see your doc again. He should do follow up blood work and possibly a secondary endoscopy to assure your villa are healing anyway.
These sites should help, feel free to email me for further info.

Q: Can anyone explain these symptoms, nausea, headaches, weakness, and dizzyiness?
i’m 13 and i just woke up with these symptoms. i’m so dizzy that i almost fell down. no, i’m not drunk. i have on and off nausea.
i’m still a virgin people!

A: could be anything from pregnancy to diabetes to the flu. see a doctor

Q: i have symptoms nausea (throw up few times),headache,joins pain, weakness.. what kind of sickness do i have?
is it food poisoning or i caught some sickness from the dinner we had with friends because we all used the same spoon and fork to eat and took the dishes… can it be hepatitis A or any other virus?

A: it’s probably this winter sickness bug that’s been doing the rounds just now.Has the same symptoms as flu

Q: what is wrong with me? Headache & nausea no cold symptoms?
I have been feeling not quite right for 3 days now. My head really hurts, it feels like there’s alot of pressure on my forehead mainly. Everytime I bend down, it adds to the pressure and then i get severe pain on my forehead.
I feel dizzy when i stand up, and when i lay down it hurts at the back of my head for a while then it slowly dies down.

I do not have a cold. I don’t have a runny nose or any other cold symptoms. It is only my head that seems to be affected.

What is wrong with me please help?!

A: There are a number of possibilities, so it is really impossible to say what is the cause. What I can do is give you some good natural remedies for headaches and migraines.

Chronic migraines can be a sign that the body is deficient in the minerals magnesium, calcium and iron. Eating more dark greens are good for these minerals. Also start trying to include seaweed like Nori, hijiki and wakame into your diet. They are rich with these minerals and other nutrition.

Try hydrotherapy with aromatherapy. Prepare a hot bath with and put a few drops of lavender and peppermint essential oils into the bath. Also prepare 4 drops of each together with 20 drops of olive oil and rub on temples. Get into the bath and take a long relaxing “holiday in a bath”.

As a herbal remedy try feverfew. It has been found to be as effective as many over the counter pain relievers for chronic headaches and migraines. Take 100 milligrams a day in capsule form.

Ginger tea has also been found very effective.

Q: if u have nausea and headache is that still considered a touch of the flu without the other symptoms?
and for the girls, have u ever felt nauseas during ur period?
ive had it for bout a week, im not preg.

A: there is no such thing as a “touch of the flu”. Influenza, as anyone knows who has had it, never just “touches” you. If all I had was nausea and headache, I’d consider food poisioning of some sort.

Q: symptoms: metallic taste, stiff neck, nausea, headache?
Does anyone know what this could be? Please answer as soon as possible!

A: The stiff neck nausea and headache are symptoms of meningitis, especially if you have a fever. The metallic taste is a bit worrying. Regardless, I recommend that you see a doctor as soon as possible.

Q: what symptoms include nausea, headaches, fatigue, disorientation and being tired?
I have not been feeling well for the last week or so. I am very tired (ie, coming home after work and sleeping until time to get up for work the next morning), I have been nauseaus at night, I have been very fatigued and almost flu like and today it was worse than ever.

A: It could be anything from pregnancy to a virus. The best way to find out is to go see your doc and get checked out.

Q: what do i have? symptoms- nausea, headaches, and low fevers? been going on for 2 weeks….?
thts abt the extent of my symptoms. i went to the doctor but they weren’t very much help…
i am not congested, have no cough, sore throat, or any typical symptoms that would point to a cold, flu, sore throat, or strep

A: its the flu and it last 2 weeks or sometimes 3

Q: can nausea, constant headaches, and diarrhea be symptoms of pregnancy?
i know that nausea is a symptom of pregnancy but what about the other two? i have had diarrhea for two days, and have a constant headache for like the past week straight and nothing will get rid of it. also i woke up this morning with a temp of 96.5 and have felt like throwing up all day. i had something that i think was implantation bleeding about a week ago so i am getting a test friday when my hubby gets paid.

A: Do you normally have a very low temp? Nausea and headaches are symptoms of pregnancy (though even non-pregnant people get those). And I used to be constipated, but now I’ve more loose stools too. I’m now 14 weeks pregnant, and ever since a month and a half ago, my basal temperature has always been over 98.2 degree F. A temperature of 96.5 is pretty low for pregnancy, unless you’re used to having much lower basal temperature in the past.

The most accurate way is to have blood test to test your hCG level.

Q: what kind of sickness has symptoms such as headache, stomach pain, nausea, nape pain, weakness and fever?
hmm. i sorta need an answer to this question. we are having a contest like game in our school )

A: Because of the neck pain it could be meningitis
Also the Bubonic Plague could begin with these symptoms

Q: can nausea and headache be part of asthma symptoms?

A: That sounds more like a migraine headache. I have Asthma
and so does my family and I haven’t heard of that before. Check
with your DR. just in case. It can be sinus headaches.

Q: What are symptoms of a tension headache?
I have been getting headaches for the past 2 days off an on. I have pressure in my neck and knots in my upper neck. It feels like a brain freeze its like that ache but stays with me, but not as severe as a brain freeze. I will get it on my right side, or my left and it will progress to the front of my head, it gets worse when i lay down because i can dwell on it. Let me know.

A: Yup that sounds like a stress or tension headache

here’s some ideas on how to treat it

http://www.webmd.com/migraines-headaches/tc/tension-headaches-treatment-overview

Q: Besides medications, what else can i do to help alleviate the symptoms of a Migraine / Tension Headache?
I have migraines and also tension headaches at times. I was wondering if there is anything I can do in addition taking medications to help with the pain and symptoms.

A: For general headaches, if you can hold down water without vomiting you should drink water to help with any dehydration, lay in a dark cool but not cold room and rest.

You can put either a cold or warm cloth on your eyes and face — some people are helped by cold and some by heat so you have to try to see which works for you.

For migraines there are quite a few foods that can be triggers, such as chocolate, red wine, aged cheeses, MSG, and many more that you should avoid. There are many lists on the web of such foods and you can pay attention to see which foods set you off. When you feel the beginning of one coming on you can drink some coffee or coca-cola. Migraine headaches are caused by the sudden widening of blood vessels, so drinking something caffeinated helps to constrict the vessels a bit, thereby lessening the pain. However, drinking too much caffeine can also trigger a migraine.

In the case of migraines, you should also lay in a dark, cool room [but not cold] and rest.

Q: Tension headache symptoms?

A: In general, a tension-type headache may cause diffuse (spread out, not in one place) pressure or tightness. Sometimes, muscles surrounding the head are tender.
The pain may be on both sides of the head, or it may cause an aching or squeezing sensation located in the forehead, temples, or back of the head with radiation to the neck and shoulders. Pain is usually moderate in intensity, not severely disabling, and not associated with the typical symptoms of migraine, such as nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to sound or light.
The onset of pain is usually gradual and not associated with any prodrome or period in which a person can feel a headache coming on.
People may associate the onset of a tension-type headache to periods during or after stress and usually toward the latter part of the day.
If the tension-type headache is present for more than 15 days a month or longer than 6 months, it is considered chronic rather than episodic.

Q: I have Hayfever and was wondering if a bad tension headache and sore throat can be symptoms of this?
I have also been feeling really sleepy and worn out and have also been quite light headed.
I am anaemic but am taking tablets for that so don’t know what else it could be?
Please help I’m really paranoid!

A: yes also sneezing itchy eyes and running nose

Q: Where do you usually feel pain when you have a tension headache?
I feel good but for a couple of days Ive been feeling like I have pressure on my neck, back, and shoulders. ( and a little bit in the back of my head) Its not a severe pain. And my left temple has been having a dull pain. I sleep great and like I said I feel ok. I feel some pressure on the top of my head. Is it a tension headache? What other symptoms go along with a tension heaache? And what relief can I give myself? Thanks!!!
One more thing, can tension headaches occur everyday? Ive had mine for 2 days. Not continuously, but its like I notice it sometimes then I dont. Is that common?

A: In general, a tension-type headache may cause diffuse (spread out, not in one place) pressure or tightness. Sometimes, muscles surrounding the head are tender. The pain may be on both sides of the head, or it may cause an aching or squeezing sensation located in the forehead, temples, or back of the head with radiation to the neck and shoulders. Pain is usually moderate in intensity, not severely disabling, and not associated with the typical symptoms of migraine, such as nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to sound or light.
Doctors will suggest over-the-counter pain relievers such as aspirin, acetaminophen, and other NSAIDs. These provide relief for most people with tension-type headache. Frequent use of medications to treat symptoms of headache may actually cause episodic tension-type headache to become chronic in nature.
If you want a home remedy for headache use Chamomile Tea, it helps relaxing the muscles and a good aid for sleeping.

Q: I can see perfectly with my eye glasses but I get tension-headache like symptoms along with eye aches?
has anyone experienced this? some background info: I’ve wore glasses for 3 years now and at one point they broke so I didn’t wear them for 8 months, and when I wore them again they started giving me headaches and eye aches with normal use. I got my eyes examined again and used two similar prescriptions and still I am getting these headaches that specifically feel like someone strapped two cement block to the side of my head with a belt (the ache). Even through this whole fiasco, I can still see perfectly clear, but with horrible headaches within 5 minutes of usage.
I have used these prescriptions glasses in two different frames in the past 2 years, when i first got them there was no problem, now when i wear them it doesn’t matter which frame, I still have the headache, i was tested by an ophthalmologist and optometrist twice, which is why i i can see perfectly clear through the lenses, but i still have headaches and eye pains.
I just wore them a sec ago, i have mostly pressure on my forehead and the upper back of my eyeballs have that same feeling of pressure on them too?, thank you all for your answers

A: Tell your eye doctor. It sounds like your Rx is too strong. Over plussed. This can happen when the doc relies on the machine and doesn’t make proper adjustments.

Q: Tension Headache???????What are the symptoms ?? What are some causes???

A: I had these before. Usually when the doctor presses some pressure points in your back and neck, it releives the pain temporarily, that is considered to be tension headache.
It can be a number of things that trigger them, stress is the main thing, there could be something you are worrying about like exam results, health results or just depression. It’s not easy to pinpoint the cause but a slight change in your daily routine to make things easier may help.

Try to spend some time relaxing, take a bath, get a massage, go to the gym or go for a walk..

Q: What are the symptoms of tension headaches? Is it normal to have one for more than 8 weeks?

A: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000797.htm

Q: Is it a tension headache?
I looked up the symptoms of a tension headache and i found that tension headaches cause pain in the head and the neck but are not as severe as migraines.
I have an annoying pain in my left temple. I can feel the artery in my left temple pulsating really hard, while my right temple feels perfectly fine. I was told that i have a tension headache, but i don’t have any pain in my neck or head. The pain is just in my left temple.
I’ve been getting these (tension headaches?) about 1-3 in 2 weeks.
What is this?

A: Unfortunately, tension headaches can be as precise as what you’ve described.

If you don’t want to get a prescription for it, I would suggest getting a book on myofascial pain disorders and trigger point therapy.

Q: Does anyone know how long it takes to experience symptoms from the RENU Solution?
Ever since I heard about the RENU being taken off shelves b/c people were experiencing problems I’ve been going crazy with worry. I tried to look up info on it, but it’s hard to find what I’m looking for. Does anyone know how long it can take to see symptoms? Is this something I need to worry about a year from now? Five years? Forever? Should I see my eye doctor about it? I’ve used the RENU solution since 9th grade (the original) and started the Moistureloc months ago (I can’t say for sure—somewhere between half a year to a year maybe). I’m now 22 years old. Also, does anyone know if tension headaches are a symptom? I started getting these horrible tension headaches months ago that include forehead contractions (where the muslces in your forehead keep contracting—a symptom of tension headaches I’m told). I have to squint my eyes constantly to try and focus better.

A: The Symptoms are an eye infection. You would find mucus and/or redness of the eyes. Ask for a check up with your eye Doctor. If you think you have an eye infection, stop using all eye care products immediately including contact lenses. (stick with glasses till you see your Dr.)
The Constant tension headaches sound serious. You should see a regular Dr. The throbbing (or as you call them contractions) is the veins in your neck and head constricting. Any time you have symptoms that are reoccurring, or that last more than 48 hrs you should see a Dr. Go to the local walk in or call your primary care for a appointment. Mean while drink lots of water to help minimize pain. Make sure not to take any thing that can mask symptoms at the time of visit (like Motrin which can thin the blood and hide the pain)

Q: Mixture of Migraine and tension headache?
I don’t know if it is possible but I have the symptoms of both headache. I have a history of Sinus headache too. Let me describe you my symptoms. My eyes burn a bit, headache is only at my fronthalf and lower back of my head. I feel like I am about to sneeze all the time, when I do so, it feels better. I used to have problem sleeping.(till last week) I started having this after falling in depression.(not in depression anymore) physical activity aggravates it if I do it during my headaches. If I read something, or use my mind, it increases it. If I continue doing it, a lot of people started yelling in my ear, and I start imagining picture w/ messed up lenght and width. Drinking cool stuff relieves it. Which reminds me, I have a history of heat exhaustion. It gives me a feeling of loosing and irritation. Also, watching tv and sitting on computer worsens it.
Btw, when people are yelling at me, it is in my head, not in realities.

A: get your eyes checked first of all then see if your medicine could be causing the headaches if so go back to your dr

Q: why do i feel high off of only two excedrin tension headache pills?
I feel like buzzed but not really spacey…I hate this feeling, why do I feel it only after two pills? I also feel like I am going to throw up, and I feel dizzy. What can I do to lesson the symptoms? Thank you in advance.

A: That stuff is full of caffeine!! I have a niece that takes them to catch a buzz when she is at work. If you have problems with drinking soda or coffee because of the amount of caffeine in it then you shouldn’t take Excedrin. You can splash your face with some cold water, and put a cold rag on the back of your neck. that may help

Q: Manic, racing thoughts along with tension headache?
I have depression. Could these symptoms be related to it or is it probably something else?

A: Yes, your symptoms sound stress-related. I agree with 1st answerer that you should get more rest and try relaxation techniques. Here’s a site that may help-

http://www.mindtools.com/stress/RelaxationTechniques/IntroPage.htm

Q: Depression; anxiety, tension, & other symptoms?
Im 15yrs old, and i’ve been dealing with depression for only 8mths now. Along with the depression followed anxiety, and then horrible physical and mental symptoms. I see a therapist, and a doctor, but i hate the fact of taking antidepressants. Im so deeply afraid of them. Everyone tells me i’ll be ok. But since my anxiety came along im afraid to take medicine, because of side affects or coming off of it and dying. Everyday is a battle because my brain brings off nothing but pure negative thoughts, and telling me to panic. And my body is always tense and i get horrible knots in the back of my neck along with tension headaches, concentration problems, dry mouth, hot flashes and chills. Does anyone know any natural remedies or have any uplifting words of advice?

-thanks.

A: Hey fool don’t get off your meds

Well yes on the serious note Yes i have been diagnosed with something similar I have a bipolar disorder, and everyday I have to deal with the suicidal thoughts. a great way to sort out your issues is to watch as much Roseanne and golden girls as possible because they always make me feel better. also eat your cereal out of a country crock butter container because it saves money which you can spend on anti depressant medication.

Q: tension headache or migraine?
i get headaches alot. i think its from not getting enough sleep because i usually get them when i don;t have a full nights sleep or when i am really tired. i also get them if i take a nap, it doesn’t even have to be a long nap maybe 20-30 minutes and i’ll get a headache. i always have nausea along with it. what kind of headache do u think it is? i take excedrin for migraines and it never fails. i only tried it because regular tylenol doesnt help.. but everytime i take it my headache and nausea goes away.

but i was searching online and my symptoms seem to be of tension headaches because i do get them from a lack of sleep..

A: there are lots of “titles” for headaches. this does not sound like a true migraine.I, m guessing the excerdrin you reffer to has caffine in it. caffine is a vasoconstictor meaning it makes blood vessels smaller. many headaches are caused by dilitation or enlargement of blood vessels in the brain for various reasons. coffee can help, caffine drinks etc. or just take the excedrin. migraines usually don’t respond to this, cause photosensitivity, aouras… and are long laasting hours to days

Q: What are the most common Migraine Headache Symptoms?
I think I’ve been experiencing migraine headaches and I needed to know what are the more common migraine headache symptoms?

A: A majority of the migraine attacks are accompanied by headache, which is an intense, throbbing or pounding pain involving one temple. At times, the pain may be located in the forehead or around the eye or the back of the head. Usually, migraine attack reoccurs and is a chronic disability. The headache is generally on one side of the head, though it may rarely happen on both the sides. The unilateral headache changes sides alternatively, from one attack to another, which is, in fact, characteristic of migraine (otherwise it may be a more serious problem).

Daily routines like walking upstairs can aggravate a migraine headache. The most common and obvious symptoms of migraine are nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light. Some people experience warning symptoms called aura before the actual beginning of a headache. An aura is a group of symptoms, mainly a vision disturbance which foretells that a headache is coming. But, most of the people do not have such warning signs. In fact, migraine headaches are classified based on their symptoms such as migraine without aura, migraine with aura and mixed tension migraine.

Migraine without aura: The most common symptoms can be a throbbing pulsating headache, which is usually worse on the sides of the forehead, generally only on one side, that can be either severe or dull, lasting for six to forty eight hours. The other symptoms are dizziness, vertigo (a feeling that the room is moving), loss of appetite, fatigue and nausea. There may be symptoms after a migraine attack too. It can be dullness, neck pain and a need for more sleep. Such symptoms may be accompanied apart from headache.

Migraine with aura: Before the headache, the warning symptoms may occur anywhere from a few minutes to 24 hours and the aura or vision changes happen in one or both the eyes. The symptoms may be one or more of the following; seeing zigzag lines, seeing flashing lights, temporary blind spots, sensitivity to bright light, visual hallucinations, blurred vision and eye pain. Accompanying the headache, there are other symptoms like loss of appetite, chills, increased urination, increased sweating, irritability and fatigue. The “pounding” headache starts on one side and spreads to the other side that typically starts as a dull ache and progressively worsens over several minutes to hours. So, the patients wish to rest in a quiet, dark room.

Mixed tension migraine: This migraine is a headache with features of both tension and migraine headache. The symptoms include headache on one or both sides and the person may feel dull, tight and the pain, which varies from mild to severe, may get worse with activity, lasting from 4 to 72 hours. Sensitivity to light or sound, depression, tingling, sluggishness, numbness, and weakness are other symptoms.

Unfortunately, migraine headache is a recurring chronic ailment, which may recur after 24 hours for some people. For more info visit http://migraine-headache-symptoms.blogspot.com

Q: How long was your longest migraine headache? What other symptoms did you have during it?
I am on Day 5 of a migraine? I did not know they could last this long? I even went to the hospital, they did a ct scan and said it was a migraine. Just worried?

A: We have treated 15 & 20 yrs Migrains.
There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Avoid late sleeping if possible;spicy, sour, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, sweet fruits, milk with sugar at bed time preferably or meals, rice and good sleep will help you.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves’ juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it isvery strong.

Q: Migraine Headache symptoms?
i have migraines, but last night i had symptoms i don’t usually have. can anyone tell me if this is normal? after first becoming nauseated i got a dull headache on the right side of my head, then part of my face on the right went tingly/numb for a couple of minutes and throuhgout the night i felt really cold on the right side of my body. i still have a dull headache and chills on my right side.

A: I’ve had the same tingling happen, but never numbness. Migraines will change/alter in symptoms over time, but if you have numbness and chills it can be a sign for quite a few more dangerous illness’s. Please go see a doctor!

Q: headache and migraine symptoms help?
I had a huge headache/migraine(dunno which) and I felt very nauseated towards the end of the day. After waking up I don’t have a headache, but I still kinda feel a little nauseated(not as much). Is this normal?

A: I suffer from frequent migraines, which usually include a sensitivity to light and sound as well as nausea and/or vomiting.

I am unable to take the usual medications, so here’s what works for me (please, check with your own physician prior to taking any medications).

I take two extra-strength Tylenol and 600mg of ibuprofen with a large glass of water and then lay down with an ice pack in a dark, quiet room. For nausea, your doctor can prescribe an anti-emetic or you can simply try something like dramamine – which is an over the counter anti-emetic.

If these suggestions help your headache, great. But, if you continue to have them or they worsen, please see your physician.

Q: What are the symptoms of migraine/ serious headache?
Sometimes I feel my head is in deep pain. loss of balance.Can it also be a tumour? any suggestion to keep it in control.Is painkiller helps?

please give me simple info.Thank you

A: * Migraine headaches usually are described as an intense, throbbing or pounding pain that involves one temple. (Sometimes the pain is located in the forehead, around the eye, or at the back of the head).

* Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, facial pallor, cold hands, cold feet, and sensitivity to light and sound commonly accompany migraine headaches. As a result of this sensitivity to light and sound, migraine sufferers usually prefer to lie in a quiet, dark room during an attack. A typical attack lasts between 4 and 72 hours.

An estimated 40%-60% of migraine attacks are preceded by premonitory (warning) symptoms lasting hours to days. The symptoms may include:

* sleepiness,

* irritability,

* fatigue,

* depression or euphoria,

* yawning, and

* cravings for sweet or salty foods.

Q: Besides medications, what else can i do to help alleviate the symptoms of a Migraine / Tension Headache?
I have migraines and also tension headaches at times. I was wondering if there is anything I can do in addition taking medications to help with the pain and symptoms.

A: For general headaches, if you can hold down water without vomiting you should drink water to help with any dehydration, lay in a dark cool but not cold room and rest.

However, drinking too much caffeine can also trigger a migraine.

In the case of migraines, you should also lay in a dark, cool room [but not cold] and rest.

Q: what is the difference between a headache and a migraine (not the difference between symptoms)?
What causes a headache vs what causes a migraine? I heard it’s something to do with capillaries or something but I can’t find a good explanation anywhere?

A: The difference between a migraine headache and a tension headache is that while a tension headache involves the muscles and fascia of the scalp and neck tightening and causing pain, a migraine involves a large chemical change that affects the entire body. Blood vessels in the brain become wider, serotonin is lowered, and nerves misfire – causing severe pain – along with a host of other symptoms.

However this is not clear at this point that migraine is caused by serotonin deficiency.

The most frequent tension headache causes are stress, hunger, alcohol and sinus issues such as infection and allergies. Migraine headaches are much more severe than tension headaches. They also affect women more than men, and can sometimes accompany the menstrual cycle. Migraine headaches sometimes elicit other symptoms than just a throbbing head; such as sensitivity to light or sound. Migraines can last from hours to days, and can affect the sufferer’s ability to focus, concentrate, work and interact with family. They often cause nausea and force the person to lie down in a dark room, to try to sleep it off.

Q: What are the symptoms that usually distinguish a headache from a migraine?

A: Bonsoir ma belle ,

The difference between headaches and migraines,,,,,is the level of pain and…..the cause.

The following link will lead you to a page that lists possible Holistic cures for migraines.

http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/headache.html

Apple Cider Vinegar is one of the most amazing cures for headaches and migraines. The trick is to take it at the onset of symptoms. Dosage: 2 TBLS of Apple Cider Vinegar in 8 oz of water, 2x day.

This simple and inexpensive thing can relieve the pain, sometimes within minutes. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar. Make a “tent” with a bath towel over your head and breathe in the vapors, deeply and slowly. (If it makes you cough, cut back on the vinegar.) A few minutes of doing this will cure most headaches as well as pills or shots.”

The second link I have researched for you explains how to watch for “triggers” in an attempt to subdue migraines before they peak…

http://www.new-health.biz/articles/article25.htm

I sincerely hope they hold information that you can relate to… and maybe the other folk maybe inclined to take a look too… nothing to lose eh? It is a known fact though, that the brightness of a computer monitor will cause headaches…VDU operators are encouraged to take frequent breaks away from their work station and sit at an angle to the screen…. (its not just the brightness, its something else that is emitted from the monitor… cant recall the name, but…if you suffer from (eye) headaches, then this could be the reason…EYE STRAIN. Take things easy. The stiff neck that accompanies a migraine can also stem from bad use of ergonomics….eg: being sat motionless staring fixedly into your lappy…..

Having said all this, headaches can stem from changes in hormones, can also be a side effect of another medicine….so before you reach for another pill to combat your headache, check any other medication for side effects first. There maybe an alternative.!! God Bless. xx

Q: How many have additional symptoms of migraine as you age?
I recently had a migraine headache and my temp dropped to 95.0 degrees. Has anyone else had a drop in temp from migraine or was it something else?

A: I’ve had migranes for 13 years now. My temperature has never dropped *that* much. I’m thinking that it had to have been from something else. My migranes still cause me to throw-up. The only change I have experienced with them is the main point of pain. That’s about it. Hope I helped!

Q: Are my symptoms a migraine or sinus headache?
My symptoms are left and right side headaches, but mostly on my left side, with pain and pressure with swelling in my frontal and cheek area. I would always go to a urgent care clinic and they would take x-ray and say I had sinus infection and gave me antibitoic and sometimes IV. I went to my medical doctor and she thought it was a sinus infection and gave me amoxicillin which helped and made the swelling go down, but comes right back after I stop taking the antibitoic. She also had me get a cat scan and to see a ENT doctor. My cat scan came back normal, but I don’t know if that’s because I was on the antibitoic and it cleared it up and I went ENT and he said I didn’t have sinus, because the cat scan was normal. I went back to my medical doctor and she said I must have migraine then and gave me ibuprofen. So I don’t know if it is just a migraine or sinus headaches or both.

A: I suffer with both sinus problems and migraines so I know the difference. What you are describing sounds like sinusitis. It’s different things that can inflame your sinuses. For me, it is smoke, stiff air, certain scents or too much cold. It recently got horrible where it felt like it was a combo of both sinus and migraine pain. I had started a new job in a night club and it was the fact that it was hot in there, extra smokey without ventilation and me stepping out into the night’s cool air with short dresses and open toe shoes that aggravated my sinuses. I haven’t been back in over a month and still I’ve been having problems but they’re slowly going away and getting better. The only things that help me are taking a hot shower where the whole bathroom is steamy which provides the moisture and warmth your sinuses need and medicine that has a combo of pseudoephedrine hci(can only get this over the counter now) and ibprophen. The pseudoephedrine is the only thing that really helps the sinus pain. Anything else is not worth getting. I almost forgot, Mucinex DM or the one that says it helps with the nasal congestion(I think it’s Extra Strength) really helps too. If it’s as bad as I think it is for you, take a Mucinex in the morning with a full glass of water and a dose of the medicine with the pseudo&ibprophen and then take another Mucinex 8-12 hours later. It works best when you take two daily. If by chance you are plus size like I am, don’t be afraid to take an extra pill of the sinus medicine. If you’re average size then don’t. I hope that helps and I hope you feel better! I know you’re pain but this really helps me…P.S-It may be something in your enviroment that has aggravated this problem if it just started not too long ago. Just think what have you done differently lately. It could be a scent, detergent, new area, anything. You never know what can affect you. Just think about it.

Q: Can running in cold weather trigger a migraine like headache?
I know this sounds really stupid but I went to the track tonight and walked/jogged a mile. It’s the first time I’ve done any type of running in I don’t remember how long. I was dressed warm because it was about 20-25 degrees outside. When I finished and got back into my car my chest and ears started burning and my glasses fogged up. A few minutes later my head started hurting. On the drive home I had a little trouble breathing and the headache started getting worse. When I got home I crawled into a hot bath which seemed to help a little. Afterwards I just layed on the couch and read for a couple hours. As I laid there my headache kept getting worse and the other symptoms of a migraine start popping up (sensitivity to light, nausea, severe pain) and my chest started feeling tight again. I just wanted to know if this is normal. It’s been awhile since I’ve pushed myself like I did tonight (especially in cold weather) and I’m just wondering how to make it go away.

A: sounds to me like it is more a sinus issue. You were breathing mostly through your nose I am assuming. The cold air basically froze the mucus in your sinus cavities. The reason it got better in the hot bath was the steam. Try a very warm compress on your upper face, covering your eyes(will help with the light sensitivity) and let it rest until it starts to cool. You may have also started a problem with your ears from the cold too. If you continue to feel dizziness accompanied with nausea, then get some ear candles and follow the directions for them.

Q: As a result of an asthma attack, can you get a migraine headache?
I have asthma and get migraine headaches. I’ve realized that when I get a sudden asthma attack from running up the stairs or walking far without breathing deeply, I get a throbbing and pulsating migraine. Are these connected? Because I can’t take in enough air during an attack, are migraines a possible symptom because I can’t get enough air to my head? I may sound strange or unintelligent, but I was just wondering… Thanks!

A: Asthma and migraine are not related as such. But the triggering factors for migraine like stress could precipitate an attack of migraine. jus keep your asthma under control that should do it. and if you get migraine attack more than 4 times a year then it need medication.

Q: I was told that my TIA symptoms may be just a migraine headache, Is that Common ?
Symptoms- one day I went to my room and on the way I started falling to the left like iI was being pulled and was having trouble talking for about 3 minutes.

The next day i was sitting in a truck at work and I got a bad headache and the left side of my face and neck got numb and then my arm did to and it started to feel heavy,This lasted about an hour.
age 41 and on blood thinner and have had bypass surgery and three cardioversions for afib.

A: I would hope that your problems are caused by a migraine and not a TIA since these attacks are often a precursor to a full blown stroke or heart attack. Have you spoken with your cardiologist about this and what does he say? What testing has he suggested? Have you asked whether an MRI of your head might be helpful or not? I do not think anyone on YAs can give you a truly accurate answer but here are some web pages that might be helpful. good luck

Q: How do you know if your headache is a migraine?
I have been having bad headaches that I could attribute to the stress of grad school but I think they might be migraines because tylenol doesn’t always help. I just want to know from people who experience these headaches what symptoms to look for and which over the counter medicines work best for you?

A: where are the headaches…generally ones in the front of your head are tension headaches…migraines are usually characterized with severe pain, usually only on one side of the head…left, right, back, and sometimes incur nausea, and blurry vision….if you are getting what seems to be migraines..for me only prescription meds helped…..i got them often when i was school age, and my doc prescribed some mild narcotic medication, since back then things like imitrex were not available…luckily i grew out of them for the most part….the best over the counter stuff i use is aleve, but if that is not working, see your doctor to help diagnose the root of these headaches, and he can prescribe something that will help….if they are tension headaches, you can try to do some relaxation techniques that will help…sometimes for me, i can take an aleve, then get in the shower for about 20 minutes and get a lot of relief…seeing that you are a grad student, you may just need to try and relax, i can somewhat relate, as i am a full time 3rd year undergrad, and i work full time as well….good luck

Q: Migraine headache?
Hi,

Here’s the full text of my situation as I could not fit it all here and sorry in advance for the length (I posted something similar earlier, but I have since added to it): http://www.braintumorfoundation.org/forumdetails.asp?ThreadID=TGB698634989

I am concerned about several of the symptoms, especially slight blurriness in the left eye and head pressure. I talk about all of this in the link above.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks!
I am seeing my general physician on Tuesday so I will ask him about this as well. I would like to ask him to refer me to a neurologist just to be safe. Any ideas on how to gently persuade to give me the referral?

Q: Are headaches and dizziness symptoms on an oncoming period?
I went off the pill a couple of months ago. I was on them for years so now that my body is getting back to normal I’m not sure if my symptoms would be the same.

Q: what do dizziness and headache look like to ensure they are HIV symptoms?
How long do dizziness and headache take to ensure they are HIV symptoms?
I am now living very far from the town, no blood testing service at the place where i am living. That’s why i would like to know how long do dizziness and headache and together with a cough take to ensure they are opportunistic disease or HIV symptoms.

A: First ask yourself these ?’s……..Have you exposed yourself to anyone that has the vrus? How long ago was that? the best thing to do is go get tested……..

Q: Does people who’s about to get Alzheimer’s disease have symptoms of dizziness & headache?

A: Is a progressive and fatal brain disease. As many as 5.3 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s destroys brain cells, causing memory loss and problems with thinking and behavior severe enough to affect work, lifelong hobbies or social life. Alzheimer’s gets worse over time, and it is fatal. Today it is the seventh-leading cause of death in the United States.

The 10 Early Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s:

1. Memory changes that disrupt daily life
2. Challenges in planning or solving problems
3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work or at leisure
4. Confusion with time or place. People with Alzheimer’s can lose track of dates, seasons and the passage of time. They may have trouble
5. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships.
6. New problems with words in speaking or writing
7. Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace step
8. Decreased or poor judgment
9. Withdrawal from work or social activities
10. Changes in mood and personality

These are all aberrations in mental functions. Definitely, headache and dizziness is not considered a symptom among them. It’s probably due to something else.

Q: What would the sickness be for these symptoms? Sore throat, chills, fever, mild headache, a little dizziness?
What would the sickness be for these symptoms?
My daughter is 12 years old. It began with a sore and rough throat.
She now is experiencing chills, fever, mild headache, and a little dizziness.
I am guessing flu, or strep throat?

A: Yep….somewhere up that alley. There are always weird germs going around so go buy that aloe vera plant and give it to her. I know it is disgustingly nasty but it will definately defend her from these germs out here, in addition to strengthen her immune system. Also alot of healthy soup involving peas

Q: symptoms including headache, dizziness and sore throat?

A: Sinus infection
Upper respiratory infection

Q: Headache and dizziness due to dry nose?
Hi,
I’m having dry nose problem and due to that I have headache and mild dizziness. I have blurred vision too at times. I started using saline nasal drops I started feeling better but not completely. I have mild headache and dizziness symptoms still.

Due to cold weather I cant afford to shut off heater both at home and at work.

Any OTC medicine which I can use as antibiotic for the above symptoms?

A: drink more water, use a vaporizer when you sleep, use the NeilMed products, and follow up with your doctor.

Q: i have rib cage inflammation but also have other symptoms, headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, please help?
the inflammation is apparently due to a minor accident last year. the other symptoms only appeared now. not too sure if they are related. doctor says no sport for six months, but can find no cause for other symptoms. can barely walk or see with headaches and blurred vision, also have difficulty breathing.

A: Glutathione: The Body’s Master Antioxidant glutathione (GSH) is a small protein produced naturally in our cells when certain required elements are present. It functions both as an antioxidant and an antitoxin and is a major defense system against illness and aging. Our glutathione level actually indicates our state of health and can predict longevity. Although there are more than 60,000 published papers on the beneficial effects of glutathione replacement, it is still largely ignored by mainstream medicine. . In the near future the importance of glutathione will be widely recognized because it has the ability to boost the immune system and fight off the damage of free radicals on the cells.

Glutathione has been shown to slow down the aging process, detoxify and improve liver function, strengthen the immune system, and reduce the chances of developing cancer. Glutathione also works to help improve mental functions, increase energy, improve concentration, permit increased exercise, and improve heart and lung function – just to name a few.

Increasing Age and Other Factors Reduce the Body’s Production and Utilization of GSH. Research has shown that individuals who have low levels of glutathione are susceptible to chronic illness. Research shows that GSH levels decline by 8% to 12% per decade, beginning at the age of 20. Levels of glutathione are further reduced by continual stress upon the immune system such as illness, infection, and environmental toxins. As we now know, a lowered immune system can bring about illness and disease. This is a ferocious cycle. While you need glutathione for a productive immune system, a weakened immune system hampers the production of glutathione.

Supplements Containing Glutathione Alone Will NOT Increase the Body’s GSH Levels. It is pointless to purchase supplements that merely contain glutathione, because the digestive system breaks down ingested glutathione and it will not be absorbed into your system. On the other hand, MaxGXL™ provides the proper nutrients needed to promote the body’s own ability to manufacture and absorb glutathione. MaxGXL™ also aids in liver support by destroying environmental poisons helping the liver to function as the main production site and storehouse for glutathione.

Q: symptoms???
I’ve always been a petite girl. When I started college (last year) I was always around 103 pounds. However, towards the middle of my first year I started losing weight. At first I dropped to 97, then to 95, then 93, 91 (over the course of a little more than one semester) I’ve been feeling very ill lately…I know I haven’t always been the healthiest girl, but I’m starting to get a little worried. I do have scoliosis (last time I checked around 37 degrees), but I don’t know if this has anything to do with how I’m feeling. No matter what I eat, I am not gaining weight…. I have been eating very well these days so I thought I gained a couple pounds, but it looks like I’ve actually lost weight (after lunch today I weighed 89 pounds). My other symptoms are: dizziness, headaches, nausea, pain sometimes in chest or stomach area, extreme fatigue. I just don’t feel well at all. Does anyone know what these could possibly be symptoms of?? Thank you so much in advance!!!
I am 5 ft. tall.
thanks vanessa! I also thought that might be a possible trigger too….I used to be stressed towards the beginning of my first year… but the thing is I haven’t really been stressed lately at all….another symptom I forgot to add was flashes of bright white lights.. this usually happens after I’m laying down and get up….it wasn’t too bad before…but these days it seems to last for almost a minute….and I feel very fainty…..I don’t have any medical problems in my family…except for diabetes on my grandpa’s side…
thanks skiwitch and pinky! yes, I have made an appointment for the doctor…hopefully everything will be ok…

A: I think you mean hyperthyroidism nanaraex2, sorry to correct you. I had Hashimoto’s Syndrome (a type of hyperthyroidism) and it made me lose 6kg in 3 or 4 days. I had a lot of stress in my life at the time. A very hyperactive 18mth old and a very sick 2 mth old, plus my marriage was starting to fall apart. Try to de-stress each night before you retire to bed, drink plenty of water and get lots of fresh air. If things don’t improve within a few days or a week at the most, go and see your Dr. and get a full blood count, check your iron levels and your TSH (thyroid)function.
It is always better to be safe than sorry

Q: headaches and dizziness symptoms?

A: sleep apnea or low blood pressure maybe

Q: HELP. MY 8 Year old daughter has strange symptoms…sore throat, headache, muscle pain…NO FEVER?
She tells me that her body just doesn’t feel right. She’s had a headache for about 2 days now…she says her neck hurts too especially when she moves her head in any direction. She started complaining of her throat hurting today, and also saying her muscles were hurting and she described it as cramping. Any ideas what might cause this? I’m calling the dr. tomorrow, but don’t know if I should seek medical attention for her sooner. Please help.

A: Sounds like it could be the flu. Good thing to go to doc tomorrow he may be able to give her meds to stop it from becoming worse. If her cramping or head hurts to where she is crying. I would take her to ER you never know with kids. Could be strep too but most kids run a fever. Can she put her chin to her chest? If she can’t or it hurts really bad to do so it also could be meningitis. You can call her doctors number and they will call you back. So you at least have peace of mind tonight.Good Luck.

Q: Symptoms: Headache, Sore throat, Dizyness, blocked nose, slight cough/sneezing trouble breathing.?
I have been unwell for a few days and i don’t know what it is exactly, what could i have?
Please help thanks!

Q: Sinus/pressure headache & sore throat with no other symptoms?
For three days I’ve had a sinus headache, like the one you get when you have a fever and if you move your head too quickly it aches, and a slightly sore throat that feels kind of tight but I’ve felt fine otherwise and I am fine doing my daily routine and such, unless I move my head too quickly lol. I haven’t been tired or had a blocked/runny nose or any other symptoms.

What is this supposed to be? Is it a cold, or allergies or what?
Btw I don’t have health insurance yet, I’m not going to the doctor lol

A: allergy or sinus infection. See your Dr.

Q: I have Hayfever and was wondering if a bad tension headache and sore throat can be symptoms of this?
I have also been feeling really sleepy and worn out and have also been quite light headed.
I am anaemic but am taking tablets for that so don’t know what else it could be?
Please help I’m really paranoid!

A: yes also sneezing itchy eyes and running nose

Q: what do i have?symptoms include sore throat,headache,severe neck pain. is it laryngitis?strep throat?plz help?
should i see a doctor?
the flu, common cold, and strep are going around my school,do you think i got one of those?
plz help
link didn’t work
thanks for trying though

A: go to the doctor and get looked at… neck pain could signify meningitis

Q: what might i have if my symptoms are, headache, sore throat, and body pain?

A: flu or maybe just a cold… or you may just be over tired…

Q: What could theses symptoms be? headache, sore throat, cough, chills?

A: If you also have a high fever, like 102, consider influenza. Without a fever, possibly bronchitis or a simple upper respiratory infection..In any case, drink plenty of fluids, rest as much as you can, Tylenol for fever/body aches,headaches, or motrin if a fever is unresponsive to tylenol. Take Motrin with food to protect your stomach. Soups and teas are good to soothe a cough, avoid too much caffeine as this will dry you out, making the mucus in your chest more difficult to expel. Humidify the air. Avoid all smoke. Wash your hands often, and throw away used tissues,don’t save it for the next time. Honey can soothe a cough, and the lemon thins the mucus, use it in tea without milk. Avoid dairy as these increase mucus production. Also, green phlegm, shortness of breathe, fevers more than 3 days, all need a doctors appointment. Hope your feeling better soon.

Q: Headache Fever Sore Throat and Stomach pain-what are those symptoms for?
For the past 3 weeks I have had a sore throat,stomach pain,headche, and fever. What are tjose symptoms for?And what should I do? Thank you!

A: Swine Flu

Q: is there a sickness for the following symptoms? – sore throat, puking, bad headache, dizziness, and earache ?

A: ear infection

Q: My friend has these symptoms: Blotchy skin; minor vomit; fever; sore throat; Diarrhoea; headache. Any ideas?
He also has a cough. He had a fever and headache a week ago, 4 days later came the cough, sore throat and diarrhoea and then the rash began 1 day ago with a little bit of vomiting. He has been back from Southern India for 3 weeks and had diarrhoea over there for about 5 days. He has seen a doctor but they don’t know what it is, they have suggested it might be glandular fever. Do these symptoms sound familiar with anyone?

A: has he seen a specialist in exotic diseases? I read your description and immediately thought “scarlet fever”, not something you see here in this country very often anymore, but frequently in third world countries. Your friend may also want to contact the CDC to check out his symptoms with them.

Q: Flu like symptoms body aches sore throat really bad headache what can I do to make myself feel better.?
Is these a bug out there and how do I get rid of it please.

A: my son just had something like that and was sick for a week…take some asprine and if the fever persists longer than 2 days call your doctor. In the mean time, eat chicken soup, orange juice, take vitamen C and rest, rest rest…I hope you feel better!

Q: Causes for 7 year old girl to get monthly fever, sore throat, and headache?
For the past year, my seven year old daughter has gotten a 102 fever, sore throat, and headache just about every month. The symptoms last for about 2 days and would be totally “normal” if they didn’t happen every month for almost a year! She has been tested for lyme, step, and mono. All were negative.

A: It could be Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome. Go to an internist, preferably a specialist in auto immune disorders. They have tests that your regular GP doesn’t have access to. They’ll test your child’s ATP (an amino acid in the brain) levels. It’s a simple blood test. And if the levels are low, that’s one sign of CFIDS. It’s not fatal, or degenerative and it’s treatable.

Also, you could have Stachybotrys chartarum (Toxic Black Mold) in your house. We had that in our old house and those were my exact symptoms. It was a reaction to the overgrowth of the mold. Every month I would run a 102 fever, and it would last for 1 or 2 days and be gone.

Q: Help with my symptoms, I have a sore throat, fatigue/tiredness, and a small headache, and fever of 99.0?
I have had the sore throat 3 days, tiredness the last 4-5 days and the headache and fever started yesterday
I am afraid it might be mono, but i don’t think i shared drinks or kissed anyone the last two months

A: Very generic symptoms. Could be the flu, or a million other things.

nausea and headache symptoms

Read and learn more about nausea and headache symptoms. For more, visit the Migraine Headache website MyBrainPain.com

Q: Symptoms – Headache, nausea, fatigue, unexplained bruises, loss of appetite, etc.?!?
So I’ve been feeling all of these symptoms lately and I was just hoping that maybe some of you health gurus out there would have any idea. My current theory is that it’s just stress, but I don’t really know.
But yes. My headache is fairly constant, though it fluctuates in the amount of pain. At it’s worst it is sharp and debilitating, usually around the side of my head and behind my eyes (though it varies.) I’m also nauseous a LOT, which may or may not be related to my loss of appetite. In addition I’ve been noticing random bruising along my legs and some on my arms that I can’t explain (and I don’t bruise easily!). I’ve also been really tired and weak feeling, and occasionally I’ll start shaking slightly to the point where it’s noticable to other people.
Any ideas? I don’t think it’s serious enough to go to a doctor, I mean they’re just gonna tell me it’s stress anyway.
Oh, I forgot insomnia. Well, the word insomnia may be a bit over-kill but I am definitely having trouble falling asleep at night. Which is weird because I am so exhausted all the time!

A: I think it’s aplastic anemia…http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/aplastic-anemia/DS00322/DSECTION=symptoms

No matter what it really is, time to get to the doctor…try an internist (an internal medicine doctor that is for adults only and looks at a problem in it’s entirety)

I and sex on Sunday October 19th, My period was due on October 27th but it came on Monday October 20th and it lasted for 3 days. Light the first day and heavy for two days. After it stopped i started feeling nauseous every day throughout the day, constipation, and i just recently started have headaches. My emotional state is out of control. My BF is noticing that I’ve been really weepy for about a week. I took a test on October 26th at 9pm at night and it said negative. So i took another on Tuesday October 28th and it also said negative. This test was not an early response test though. Its Thursday October 30th and i still feel all the symptoms and now i have gas too! I know i need to go see my doctor but im afraid of bad news. Did i test too early???

Q: what symptoms include nausea, headaches, fatigue, disorientation and being tired?
I have not been feeling well for the last week or so. I am very tired (ie, coming home after work and sleeping until time to get up for work the next morning), I have been nauseaus at night, I have been very fatigued and almost flu like and today it was worse than ever.

A: It could be anything from pregnancy to a virus. The best way to find out is to go see your doc and get checked out.

Q: what is wrong with me? Headache & nausea no cold symptoms?
I have been feeling not quite right for 3 days now. My head really hurts, it feels like there’s alot of pressure on my forehead mainly. Everytime I bend down, it adds to the pressure and then i get severe pain on my forehead.
I feel dizzy when i stand up, and when i lay down it hurts at the back of my head for a while then it slowly dies down.

I do not have a cold. I don’t have a runny nose or any other cold symptoms. It is only my head that seems to be affected.

What is wrong with me please help?!

A: There are a number of possibilities, so it is really impossible to say what is the cause. What I can do is give you some good natural remedies for headaches and migraines.

Chronic migraines can be a sign that the body is deficient in the minerals magnesium, calcium and iron. Eating more dark greens are good for these minerals. Also start trying to include seaweed like Nori, hijiki and wakame into your diet. They are rich with these minerals and other nutrition.

Try hydrotherapy with aromatherapy. Prepare a hot bath with and put a few drops of lavender and peppermint essential oils into the bath. Also prepare 4 drops of each together with 20 drops of olive oil and rub on temples. Get into the bath and take a long relaxing “holiday in a bath”.

As a herbal remedy try feverfew. It has been found to be as effective as many over the counter pain relievers for chronic headaches and migraines. Take 100 milligrams a day in capsule form.

Ginger tea has also been found very effective.

Q: What causes these symptoms of heat stroke:nausea,disorientation,headache,and low blood pressure?
and why don’t people sweat when they have heat stroke? what causes it?

A: They sweat all right, and the heat stroke follows. One big mechanism is the loss of sodium. Salt tablets can prevent or cure the condition very nicely.

Q: Could there be something more than my Celiac disease causing painful symptoms? stomach pain, nausea, headache?
Over a month ago I was diagnosed with Celiac disease and began a strict gluten free diet. I still have stomach pain, nausea, headaches and severe fatigue almost all the time. I am only 16 years old and have a very healthy diet. My doctor reccomended staying away from dairy for a few months because celiac disease can cause temporary lactose intolerance that can contribute to symptoms. I’ve cut out dairy for weeks and feel no better. Is it possible that there is something else contributing to my pain like some other disease or condition? The doctor has no idea why I am feeling so much nausea and said that after less than a month most people who have Celiac disease feel much better. I don’t. Sometimes I have these really painful gas pains in my intestine on the left side and I have felt my stomach and it feels like my intestine is hard and lumpy on the left side.

A: I would say give it more time. Most celiac patients see relief in 2-6 weeks, HOWEVER it can take soem months, even years to heal the damage to the intestines. I assume you had blood work and/or an endoscopy ti diagnose the Celiac and your doc is familiar with Celiac and all its applications?
You could be eating gluten and not realize it. It can take much time to learn all the names for gluten and learn how to follow the diet.
Also, cutting out the gluten and the dairy can be quite a shock to your system and in turn cause the nausea, etc. Especially if u are replacing the dairy with soy, which can cause these symptoms in some ppl. And fake sugars (often found in “health” foods) can cause the symptoms listed.

I would say give it some more time and then see your doc again. He should do follow up blood work and possibly a secondary endoscopy to assure your villa are healing anyway.
These sites should help, feel free to email me for further info.

Q: i have symptoms nausea (throw up few times),headache,joins pain, weakness.. what kind of sickness do i have?
is it food poisoning or i caught some sickness from the dinner we had with friends because we all used the same spoon and fork to eat and took the dishes… can it be hepatitis A or any other virus?

A: it’s probably this winter sickness bug that’s been doing the rounds just now.Has the same symptoms as flu

Q: Can I be pregnant?Symptoms:headaches, fatigue, nausea, and lower backaches, but my period was a little early.?
My fiance says that I am pregnant but I’m not sure. I have been having symptoms for the last 3 weeks. My period last month was a little early and it was shorter than usual. As the days go by the worst my nausea gets.I also want pickles with everything I just about eat. I just wanted advice from other females. Thank you.

A: if in doubt take a test. stranger things have happened. at least you will know one way or the other. not knowing would drive me crazy.

Q: Do these sound like early pregnancy symptoms?
Ok The first day of my last period was August 12. My period is due on Sept. 9th. I have been having the following symptoms: Nausea, headaches, lower backache’s, moodiness, cravings for pickles (yes pickles), breast pain, cramping, frequent urination, not being able to sleep well and feeling very tired. I stopped taking my BC on August 6th…is it possible to be pregnant already?

A: They could be pregnancy symptoms, especially if they are not what you experienced during AF. Test on the 10th for clearer results. I tested 4 days after AF was due & got a BHP. Good luck

Q: How do the symptoms of a concussion, like nausea, headache, neck pain and irritability, last?

A: i’ve had a few real bad concussions, and after the last one, when i wrecked my pickup truck, it really f***ed me up, i’m pissed off all the time, i have ocassional seizures, and have difficulty remembering stuff. the nausea, headache and the rest can last for a few weeks, and if you have liquid coming out of your ear, you got to go to the hospital right away. Strictly sucks.

Q: Can a neighbor’s exhaust fumes cause carbon monoxide symptoms?
I live in a seniors mobile home park, and my mobile home is rather old and has no A/C. I have a neighbor who had someone start an old car of hers the other day, and she left it running for over an hour. I could smell exhaust fumes all through my house.

For the rest of that day and the following, I had vague symptoms — headache, slight nausea, light-headedness. Shortness of breath, though some of that’s expected during allergy season. I felt very lethargic.

I’m fine now. Might this have been CO, or was it possibly just the general heat or a bug of some kind?

Best guess, please.

A: Yes it could have been carbon monoxide you need to get you a detector they are not that expensive and I know from past experience that if you leave a car open and the fumes enter your house it will set the alarm off. Them you get out and report neighbor to cops or fire department.

Q: I have the symptoms of pregnancy but I have taken 2 tests and they are negative. HELP?
My last period was 2 weeks ago, my tubes are tide, and 2 tests say negative. My symptoms are: nausea, headache, funny taste in mouth, cramping(lower pelvis, like period cramps), sensitivity to smell and light. What else could it be or should I take more tests? I have no insurance so I can’t go to the doctor.

A: Hi I am no expert and look it up for you on google it says you can deffiently can still get pregnant even if your tubes are tied. When you have done the test it may have been too early to tell if you are or not. The best thing to do is go and speak to either your DR’s or speak to some one at the pharmisty and they would be happy to help. The other thing you can for advice is phone the NHS Direct and they are very helpfull. If you need the number just let me know. good luck with everything, hope you get the result you want.

Q: can nausea, constant headaches, and diarrhea be symptoms of pregnancy?
i know that nausea is a symptom of pregnancy but what about the other two? i have had diarrhea for two days, and have a constant headache for like the past week straight and nothing will get rid of it. also i woke up this morning with a temp of 96.5 and have felt like throwing up all day. i had something that i think was implantation bleeding about a week ago so i am getting a test friday when my hubby gets paid.

A: Do you normally have a very low temp? Nausea and headaches are symptoms of pregnancy (though even non-pregnant people get those). And I used to be constipated, but now I’ve more loose stools too. I’m now 14 weeks pregnant, and ever since a month and a half ago, my basal temperature has always been over 98.2 degree F. A temperature of 96.5 is pretty low for pregnancy, unless you’re used to having much lower basal temperature in the past.

The most accurate way is to have blood test to test your hCG level.

Q: Symptoms of being tired, dizzy, headache?
It started yesterday, I woke up very tired and I could barely stay awake. If I try to stay up to eat or anything I get a bad headache and I get dizzy, so I’ve just been sleeping most of the day. Can anyone tell me if I should see a doctor or what might be wrong?

A: Are those your only symptoms? It could be an ear infection or the beginnings of the flu. If you have a bad sore throat also, it could be mono. I would take L-lysine (vitamin) and a mulit-vitamin. If you don’t feel better by tomorrow afternoon, I would make an appointment to see the doctor. I hope you feel better.

Q: Yesterday, I was having some weird symptoms such as gasping for breath, dizzy, headache, tiredness.?
it also feels like there was a lot of weight over both my shoulders. It felt horrible to the point where I was going to pass out. But I did not because I just stuck with it until I got home and rest. I sorta just slept it off and felt a lot better. Not sure what it was. But this is the second time I had this experience. Does anyone know what this is that I am feeling? Your suggestions are much appreciated.
yes, my face was sweating and I felt like I was burning up, but underneath where my neck was, it was really cold. I worked in the store so room tempature was fine, but I did drink water and felt a bit better. however, I still had the same syptoms for a while until I got off work.

A: Please see your doctor, it could be cardiac or a lung problem like a clot, please see your doctor and if any of these symptoms get worse go to the ER

Q: Dizzy, blurred vision, headache, and nauseated… what could all these symptoms could mean?
Past few days I’ve been having these weird symptoms like dizziness, blurred vision, headache, and nausea… I asked this one place and it said it could be high blood pressure but I’m only 16 and pretty sure I’m too young for high blood pressure… I know its not from drugs because I don’t do drugs or alcohol and I know its not pregnancy symptoms because I’m sure as hell am not pregnant (unless I’m the new virgin mary lol). I was just wondering if these symptoms could mean anything serious or should I just not worry about it and see if they go away soon?
I’ve been eating normally and drinking normally and well doing everything like I normally do… Thats mostly why I’m weirded out by this, its like I haven’t changed anything I eat/ drink and yet I have these symptoms…
I’ve told my parents and they say not to worry about it…. Thats why I’m kind of trying to get information on here so to see if it can be anything I can treat by my self… But thank you to all of you!

A: Headache and nausea could be anything – what I am concerned about is the dizziness and the blurred vision – I could tell you what it could possibly be but I don’t want to scare you

Tell your parent/s whats happening = they need to take you to the Md as soon as possible – or at least call them and tell them what is happening

Q: What would feeling hot, getting dizzy, blurred vision followed by a headache be a symptom of?
She explained it as not feeling present at the current time also she has headaches often. She had surgery 3 years ago because of khiari malformation. This is the second time in 3 months that she has had this episode.

A: pregnant?
or probly something from the surgery?

Q: Is it possible to have a nauseating headache that makes you dizzy?
Those are my symptoms.

It’s like, near my temples, and on the top/sides of my head.

I’m dizzy just sitting.

Is this possible for a headache? And how can I treat it?

A: Sounds like a migraine. Sorry.
Probably shouldn’t be on the computer.

Take something to help the headache, get an ice pack and lay in a quite, dark room till the throbbing calms.

Q: what could i possibly have if i have these symptoms?
I just wanted to know if anyone knows what i could have if im feeling these symptoms:
headache
dizzy
minor heart pains
stomach ache
cramps
a little bit of throwing up
and burning up
i have been feeling like this for a while which is why i am concerned
also i have ear aches and alot of noises bother my ears make me dizzyer

A: There are a lot of possibilities. You should see the doctor so he can do the appropriate tests.

Q: these are the symptoms of an ailment. heavy rash and poked chest, fever sweats ,headache ,and dizzy spells?
my coworker had these symptom at work today.

A: I don’t know what a poked chest is, but those are very common symptoms for everything from a hangover to food poisoning to the flu or a heart attack. Are you wondering if he had something contagious? It’s very likely, though anything contagious is typically going to be passed around for anywhere from 24 hours to a week before actual symptoms are present. If your worried about catching something your best bet all the way around is good good hand washing and maybe carrying some antibacterial gel around with you for when a soap and water isn’t convenient. You are way more likely to catch something by touching a contaminated surface and touching your face or mouth than to catch something air born.

Q: I am 10 weeks pregnant now. How to get rid with headache, dizzy and vomiting?
Or else how to ease all those pregnancy symptoms?

A: um sucking on lolipops makes you feel better. They have ones w/ ginger which is suppose to help with the nausea at motherhood. Also my Dr. told me to have a cracker right when you get outta bed in the Am and it worked. Try and have little snacks throughout the day. Hope this helps. After the 1st trimester it gets better.

Q: In the winter, i had 2 episodes of majorly dizzy headache that goes with a fuzzy eyesight.?
Does anyone have the slightest idea of what the symptom could possibly means? The pain was acute and achingly painful. But after a few hours of sleep, i went back to normal.

A: That sounds like it could be migraine. You should try to get your hands on some Midrin. It is the cure-all for anything headache-related for me. In most states it isn’t a fully controlled substance so you can actually get it from one of those new drugstore clinics(like Walgreens take care, CVS minute clinic). Or you can wait and see your regular doctor and ask for some tomorrow. You can also order it online. It’s basically a combination pill with tylenol, a muscle relaxant, and vein adjustor to take away the pain and calm you down.

Q: Why Am I feeling low sugar symptoms: dizzy nauseated sweaty when my sugars aren’t low?
I’ve seeemed to continuously deal with this since last May 2008 when I had my 2nd child. I was told I was gest diabetic with him and after having him i’ve fought low sugar symptoms. Never shaky maybe a little weak but mostly headache and dizzy and tired and wanting to eat us out of house and home every couple hrs as of recently and dr has checked my thyroid blood sugars etc even did a 3hr test a month ago or so and all was normal. Anyone have any idea what else IT could be?? my bp seems ok too. oh and like a sugar level i have felt it at is 104 for example. 72-75 is as low as i’ve seemed to recall ever getting and i feel pretty sluggish then that I can understand.
my sugar levels remain around the level i already said so i seem to feel yucky constantly the last week anyway but at times it seems I eat and the sugar level doesn’t change but yea its odd. CELIAC disease not quite that’s a shitting disorder lol and issue with the small intestine I looked that up. I have no problems with that half of my body . ty tho.
another UPDATE 6/28/09 – ok reading up on celiac. As far as me eating a lot I do it more so when i get dizzy to get rid of what I am calling a sugar low tho what I read its saying its a lack of carbs but I can eat a ton of carbs that makes no matter. FEEL FREE to IM me: mommy2robndax if you like.
ooops forgot to answer: on medicines no. just my allergy meds zyrtec and flonase.
i also never mentioned diabetes run very strong on my mother’s side of the family. my mom and her sister were hypoglycemic. my gpa was diabetic and obese lost his weight it helped then he died of leukemia. anyway.. and his brother is still alive and insulin dependent as well as one of his grandkids. my great great uncle (gpa and his bro’s uncle) was baaad diabetic on insulin.
one LAST thing.. any gas issue or well i doubt this even affects my problem but i had my gall bladder removed 2yrs ago.

A: Sounds like a condition known as “metabolic syndrome”.

Q: Very Dizzy, slight headache, and shortness of breath?
I am a 23 year old female, and i have been experiancing dizzy spells, a slight headache, and shortness of breath for a few days now. Let me mention right upfront that I am a smoker, about half a pack a day. These symptoms are really bothering me and im not sure what I should do.. I feel okay besides everything else. What is wrong with me!!! Please help!

A: Quit smoking gurl! lol smoking inhibits vitamin absorption….one in particular B12 and that can cause dizziness, headaches and shortness of breath. It also inhibits absorption of vitamin C, D and E and god knows what else essential for health. But smoking alone is damaging your lungs so that could be causing shortness of breath. Withever way the problem comes back to that cancer stick.

Q: Symptom: Headache, stomach ache, dizzy and breathing difficulties?
Hi all,

I’ve a female friend who always have headache, stomach ache, feeling dizzy and recently just told me about breathing difficulties. She can’t breathe hard cos’ when she does, she will feel a slight pain in her chest. Headache started long time ago but as for stomache ache, I’m not very sure.

She is kind of girl who only active at night and sleepy and weak in the day. She always stay up late till midnight and slept around average of 3 am. She seldom drinks water and are picky at food. She doesn’t like to eat stalk of vegetables, tomato, milk and food that are nutritious, etc. She always like to help people more that taking care of herself. I can feel that she something might be over-straining herself. Please help her.

I’ve found 2 articles most relavent:
- http://sg.answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=ApF0i5xp8jO22tav.7lSi5gh4wt.?qid=20060622135802AAT4AXo
- http://sg.answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AujhScSUj4MqYQIjF61Gyxkh4wt.?qid=20060726123336AAFk8A4
I’m not sure about the problems and eager to find out the possible solutions. I need your help. Thanks alot!
Only recently that she starts to eat little. Easily gets full.

A: Other than the breathing difficulties, her symptoms are coming from not eating enough and not drinking enough water. When I get too busy to eat or drink, I get the same way. When I’m dehydrated, I get really bad headaches and sick to the stomach. When I don’t eat, I get shaky and weak. She also could have a blood sugar issue as a result from this.

I would take her to a dietitian. He/she will give her the help she needs. Until then, get her to drink more fluids like juice, water, and powerade. If she doesn’t get help soon, she could develop conditions like diabetes or hypoglycemia (if she doesn’t have them already.) Don’t be offended, but she could also have anorexia nervousa.

Q: What kind of Neurological symptoms do you have with Lupus?
I’m being tested for lupus after being sick for 2 yrs and I have tons of neurological symptoms just wondering if these are common symptoms for lupus. here are my symptoms.
Burning stinging headaches, dizzy, lightheaded,vertigo, seizure type incidents, sharp shooting pains in head, also get weard sensations on my body like warm water pouring on me. Any info will be appreciated. If you have any neurological symptoms from Lupus pleas list them for me. Thanks!

A: Some lupus patients have neurological symptoms, some do not. Lupus symptoms vary widely from patient to patient.

Headaches could be caused by lupus or by Raynaud’s phenomenon or other things. Many lupus patients have Raynaud’s, a condition in which stress or cool temperatures cause the nerves to tell the blood vessels to clamp down and restrict blood flow, usually to hands and feet, but can also cause headaches.

Lightheadedness can be caused by a number of things as well. Lupus patient are often anemic, When you are anemica, there is not enough available oxygen in your blood, which could account for light headedness or dizziness.

Vertigo usually has to do with the inner ear. Lupus can cause inflammation anywhere, including the inner ear.

I am not sure what you mean my “seizure type” incidents. Do you lose consciousness? Do you convulse? Some lupus patients do have seizures. But seizures can be caused by many other things.

Lupus patients with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (sticky blood) which causes clots may have TIAs or ministrokes. This could account for your head pain and seizure type incidents. Ask to have your blood tested for this.

As for the weird sensations, please find a clearer way to describe that as well. If you tell the doctor that you have “seizure type incidents” and “weird sensations on your body” you are not helping the doctor get to the root cause of your problem. If these weird sensations are painful, you could have neuropathy which sometimes comes with lupus, or diabtetes, or multiple sclerosis, or other things.

As a patient your job is to give the doctor the best and clearest information possible. It is the doctor’s job to connect the dots. A diagnosis of lupus is made based on family history, your medical history, a wide variety of lab tests and after everything else is ruled out. There is no definitive lab test for lupus.

To do your job, keep a symptom journal including
1. a clear description of the symptom
2. when it started
3. how often it happens
4. how long it lasts
5. what makes it feel better
6. what makes it feel worse
7. to what degree does it interfere with your activities of daily living

Then create a concise summary and bring a copy for your doc and a copy for you.

pregnancy headache symptoms

Read and learn more about pregnancy headache symptoms. For more, visit the Migraine Headache website MyBrainPain.com

Q: At what week in pregnancy do the headache symptoms start?
Do they the headaches start at about 5-6-7 weeks in early pregnancy? & whats it caused by. . . .

A: Experiencing headaches during pregnancy is one of the most common discomforts and complaints. Headaches may occur at any time during your pregnancy, but they tend to be most common during the first and third trimesters.

An increase in headaches during the first trimester is believed to be caused by the surge of hormones along with an increase in the blood volume circulating throughout your body. These headaches may be further aggravated by stress, poor posture or changes in your vision.

Headaches during the third trimester tend to be related more to poor posture and tension from carrying extra weight. Headaches during the third trimester may also be caused by a condition called preeclampsia, which is high blood pressure during pregnancy.

If you are not able to prevent headaches, there are still things that you can do to help them go away. During pregnancy, you want to try and relieve your headache by natural means if possible. Pain relief medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen are not recommended in most pregnancies; however, acetaminophen may be reccommended by your health care provider

Q: Does pregnancy symptoms include headache?
Lately I’ve been getting bad headaches and I usually don’t get. And I’ve been getting very tired lately I mean I’m a sleeper but I get tired even 2 hours after I wake up.
Lately I’ve been getting bad headaches and I usually don’t get. And I’ve been getting very tired lately I mean I’m a sleeper but I get tired even 2 hours after I wake up. I had my period last week and it wasn’t as heavy as usual. Are these signs of pregnancy?

A: I’d take a test…

I’ve gotten bad headaches my entire pregnancy, as well as fatigue.

Q: Ectopic pregnancy, headache, very cold all of a sudden, loss of pregnancy symptoms?
Ectopic pregnancy, headache, very cold all of a sudden, loss of pregnancy symptoms?
i dont feel like i am pregnant anymore i was sick all last week and some of this week but just dont all of a sudden. i am maybe around 6-7wks i think i may be having a miscarriage but i havent start bleeding yet, it wasnt planned but i heard if it is ectopic i can die! honestly i was planning an abortion and i am not sure to go to my appointment now or not? if i do a pregnancy test would it still say i am pregnant? i have only done 1 a few wks ago that was positive and i just dont feel pregnant anymore. i am scared to go to a doctor because i dont want a scan as i am having an abortion and i am too embarrassed to tell the doctor this. he would presume i am keeping it and talk about it and i dont want it hear anything. whats should i do? should i just go to england? (ive to travel for the abortion im from ireland)

A: If you are that concerned, get to a hospital. If it were an ectopic pregnancy you would be in absolute agony, and may even pass out.

Pregnancy is weird and you might feel one thing one day but totally different the next… its the hormones.

A pregnancy test will turn up positive even after a few weeks after a pregnancy due to the hormones.

If you truely want an abortion, don’t miss the appointment just because you assume you’ve miscarried, or you may end up with a baby.

I hope you’ve really thought about this and have talked to someone.

Q: are the symptoms of pregnancy, such as headache, fatigue, and stomach pains, the symptoms for anything else?
headache, fatigue, stomach pains, mood swings, could it only be pregnancy?

A: I think those are the symptoms of the flu and many, many other health problems. It is even symptomatic of being constipated.

Q: has anyone ever had just headaches as symptoms of pregnancy?
I have only had headaches and no other signs…Has anyone else ever had just headaches as a pregnancy symptom?

A: Yep! I had practically no symptoms except for headaches, backaches, and menstrual-like cramping. I always thought I would be able to tell the difference between pregnancy symptoms and pre-menstrual symptoms, but they were pretty much exactly the same. The only indication I had that something might be up was a missed period…

If you are late, I would take a test. A lot of people have no pregnancy symptoms at all except for a missed period.

Q: ive been nausea, throwing up, tender breast headache, basically all the pregnancy symptoms.?
but i had negative pregnancy tests. i thought it was to early to tell. then my period came on. and im still havin breast pain. can anyone help me out im confused???

A: Probably just from your period.

Q: Headache: Pregnancy symptom? Moms especially!?
I’ve read headaches can be an early pregnancy symptom (in conjunction with others).

I’ve really never had headaches in my life, but im 13 dpo and the last 3 days ive had ugly ugly headaches…along with other symptoms (incredibly gassy, bloated, irritable, etc)

Moms: what were your pregnancy headaches like in detail? when did they show up during the day? how severe?

A: Headaches are a sign of hormonal changes, yes this happens in early pregnancy but can also come when your period is due

If you are trying to conceive I hope you are, baby dust to you!

Moms: what were your pregnancy headaches like in detail? when did they show up during the day? how severe?

Also, im 2 weeks/3 days past ovulation
ps did any of ya’ll have bloating this early on as a symptom

A: Yeah, headaches are a common symptom of pregnancy, but if that’s all you’re experiencing then I wouldn’t really think you’re pregnant without a test.

I didn’t even get bad headaches until the second trimester, and they were actually migraine-level. Really bad.

Q: ectopic pregnancy, headache, very cold all of a sudden, loss of pregnancy symptoms?
i dont feel like i am pregnant anymore i was sick all last week and some of this week but just dont all of a sudden. i am maybe around 6-7wks i think i may be having a miscarriage but i havent start bleeding yet, it wasnt planned but i heard if it is ectopic i can die! honestly i was planning an abortion and i am not sure to go to my appointment now or not? if i do a pregnancy test would it still say i am pregnant? i have only done 1 a few wks ago that was positive and i just dont feel pregnant anymore. i am scared to go to a doctor because i dont want a scan as i am having an abortion and i am too embarrassed to tell the doctor this. he would presume i am keeping it and talk about it and i dont want it hear anything. whats should i do? should i just go to england? (ive to travel for the abortion im from ireland)

A: Pregnancy symptoms can vary from one woman to another. In fact, some pregnant woman may not have any pregnancy symptoms at all for a while and another woman will know she is pregnant very easily just from her symptoms alone.

Some of the early pregnancy symptoms are the following:

missed menstrual period
morning sickness

A: See your DR and ask for a QUANT blood test.

Q: Pregnancy symptoms but not pregnant?
I wrote in earlier this week, saying My husband and I are trying to concieve and I had pregnancy symptoms (headache, nausea, tired all the time, “fluttery” feeling,…) but thought it might be too early to test since I haven’t missed my period. Today I missed my period, took a test, and it was negative. I still have the symptoms but what could it be if I’m not pregnant. My mom says she thinks it is my gallbladder (because in the past I have had extreme pain in my back in a “ring” around my breasts and upper back, but I haven’t felt that in about a month) What do you think? (My Dr. is in Paris this week so It will be atleast a week before I can get in to see him.)
I have one child and I “feel” like I did with him (except more nauseaous)

A: first gallbladder…signs are forty, female, fat, fair….do you fit that. It does not sound like it. Sometimes the first test is negative. Give it another week if you have not started try testing again. If you cannot wait, you can always go and have a lab test you…you can tell right away. My guess is you are just not pregnant, but wishing you were. Sit back and relax, good things will come. Good luck

A: If you have had these symptoms in the past, I would go to your doctor. There is a possibility that you could be pregnant, and it is just too early to test, but if you go to your doctor, a blood test could confirm or rule this out. It can’t hurt to see your doctor, if there is something wrong then they can find out what it is. Good luck with everything!

Q: Anyone get flu-like symptoms in early pregnancy?? headaches, tiredness, body aches?
The past week i’ve had all different symptoms, i’ve had headaches, light cramping, body aches all in different places. But yesterday my headache went, i feel my boobs are starting to get a bit sore just when i sqeeze them lol particularly my nipples, and i feel much more tired and exhausted today. I also get slight twinches of pain in odd places, like my arm or leg. Sunday i got heart burn for about 15 minutes then went, and the past 3 days i’ve been getting shooting pains down my ribs on each side. Are all these early pregnancy symptoms?? When i wake up in the morning i feel fine but then after a while i start to get all the symptoms back again. Its just unusual for me to be sick and i’ve never had any of these symptoms before, so im putting it down to be maybe pregnancy symptoms, what do you think? its been 2-3 weeks since i’ve been having unprotected sex. How soon can i take a test? I have irregular periods so it makes it harder when to know when to test.

A: actually this is always how I know I am pregnant. With both of my pregnancies I always feel like I am coming down with a cold. I am achy, extremely tired, headache, and slightly sore breast before I ever even am able to get a positive on a test. So it is really possible. I dont know what the heartburn is bc that normally comes later in pregnancy due to the baby pushing up on your stomach. who knows but good luck and baby dust!

Q: What Were YOUR Pregnancy Symptoms Before Missed Period?
I am just wondering what everyone’s pregnancy symptoms were.
I don’t want to know what reaserch says they can be. I would like to know from peoples experiences.

I am currently 5 days away from my next period.
Feeling, tired, crampy, sickly sometimes, hungry when im not feeling sick, soor boobs and been having headaches.

What were your pregnancy symptoms before your missed period?

A: Generally I didn’t have any kind of suspicion, all of the symptoms I had were the same as you get just before your period (achey boobs and lower back, niggly stomach, tiredness, mood-swings etc) so just thought it was a regular month. Oh and I also found that when I ate alot of food I felt horrible! And normally I love my food!

It was just after I found out I was pregnant that things started kicking in, and boy did I know then!
Haven’t stopped puking since ha!

Q: After having Sex how long does it takes for women to start feeling the Very First Pregnancy Symptoms?
After having Sex how many days it takes for women to start felling Pregnancy Symptoms, I mean the very first symptoms like headaches, nausea, throwing up, tiredness and all that.

A: 2.5 – 4 weeks, but keep in mind that PMS and pregnancy symptoms are virtually the same. The first true symptom is a missed period.
