Q: Weird symptoms=Some nausea, migraine!!!, eye pain, stiff neck, chills/cold sweats, fatigue. Sudden onset.?
Monday afternoon, as I was leaving work, I experienced all of the symptoms above (nausea, migraine, eye pain, stiff neck, cold chills/clammy feeling, fatigue). It continued through Wednesday morning. It’s Thursday and I feel better, but am having stomach issues (aka not regular… :-/ )
The previous week, we were on vacation at the beach for an entire week. Sunday morning, I started a new pack of birth control pills, and took them about 2-3 hours later than the previous month because I had to pick them up at the pharmacy on Sunday morning. (And I’m married and old.)
Everyone always tells me “You’re Pregnant”. If that is the case, I would have about 1287 kids by now.
I’m not throwing up or anything, just feel pukey.
The worst pain of all was the migraine.
What gives? (Trying to decide whether to bother my doctor or tough it out.)
A: your symptoms describe the flu but due to the vacation i wouldn’t rule out bad water or lyme disease
Q: Are these Migraine symptoms?
are these common migraine symptoms
burning eyes
upset stomach
sensitive to light and sounds
massive headache
i have been having these for the last couple of weeks
what over the counter medicine would you suggest
A: Over the counter medicines don’t affect true migraine attacks. In fact, no pain killers will. They might make them go away for a bit, but that is it. If it’s really a migraine attack and not just a bad headache, the only things that might help you are certain prescription medications in the tiptan family or waiting it out with sleep, ice or heating pads (your choice), water, hot tea, etc. There are 3 classes of medications used to prevent migraines: anti-convulsants, anti-depressants, and blood-pressure meds. See a doctor if you think you need these thigns.
Q: Eye pressure, a unusual migraine symptom?
Hi there. Have somebody here that suffers from migraine, experience pressure in one eye and double vision for a while? It is a weird feeling, and scary. I suffer from migraine with aura, and seldom get the headech, lucky me. But never in my life had that eye pressure feeling, like if somebody grab your eye from the back, and twist it to look inside, provoking double vision. Got it twice now, since last December. I went to the Dr, and he said it almost sure is migraine, but in case, I am schedule for an MRI this week. I think it is migraine too, and I not so sure if I want to go to this test. What would you do?
Thanks a lot for any answer!
A: Was the double vision in just one eye or was it with both eyes?
I think a scan such as an MRI would not be a bad choice – I would also be curious as to how your blood pressure runs, especially during one of these episodes.
Q: migraine remedies? i get sparkly vision (my left eye has this weird light), numbness, and horrilbe headache.?
Does anyone know what can help these migraine symptoms? thanks.
A: Excedrin’s migraine works really well for me
Q: what r the symptoms of migraine?is it accompanied with swelling on face or blankness before eyes?
A: My friend has this problem. Although he never complained of swelling on his face, he used to often experience blankness before his eyes and used to feel nauseous at times. He’s always taken his migraine pills to relieve the severe headache.
Q: Help! Toothache + Migraine + Eye pain = ?
Well, I have toothaches + migraine + eye pain a few years back and when I looked at my mirror, I see a tooth (located bottom jaw on far left – beside the last molar) trying to “rip itself’ out of a gum and it hurt like hell! So I went to the dentist which was even more hell because he cut the rums out- both sides!
Now, I am encountered the same problem, but it is on my far right this time! Again I see a cheeky little tooth trying to rip out from my gum. So the question is – should i go to the dentist to ‘endure’ the same pain or will it just grow out of it?
Or the pain I am describing, is it some other symptoms? I would also like to add, there is no hole in my tooth and I feel nothing when I eat hot or cold items 
I am 23 years old, brush and floss regularly (well, started last year.. i admit, i was lazy before), uses top braces wire thing at night and uses listerine 
It seems like a 3rd molar is coming out :s is there such a thing?
A: Are these your wisdom teeth coming through?
Q: tell me all about your migraine symptoms?
ok so ive had migraines since i was 4. and seem to be growing out of them as they have cut down to only a few a year. i just wanted to know if anyone gets all the same symptoms. my symptoms are the exact same every time and i can often wake up knowing it feels like im gonna get a migraine that day.
First my head goes little fuzzy and my eyes feel strained, i then get a little black dot which gets bigger and bigger. while this is happenin i start to feel a little sick, my right arm always feels disattached almost like its not my arm, i get pins and needles in my tongue and then my fingers and arm. my vision gets so bad i can only see half of peoples face for example, i then lose basically all ability to think and talk, i turn into like a 4 year old learning things for the first time, i get a stammer, forget everything im saying, i forget names of things, and how to tell the time. a few hours of lying down in the dark with my migraine tablets and lose most of the symptoms and just left with REALLY sore head.
ive never known anyone with exact same symptoms yet so please tell me all yours. i have never figured out what causes mine, oh and i get a weird taste in mouth and things smell funny
A: Oh! Thank you for telling me about your symptoms. It makes me feel that I am not so alone!
First, I want to say that there are things that trigger my migraines, although sometimes I do not recall any trigger. Flashing strobe-like lights of any kind are a guaranteed migraine for me. One of the worst offenders is those little blinking lights on coupon machines in grocery stores, that alert the shopper, I walk around the corner, and the thing flashes at me, and that’s it. I’m going to have a migraine within 12 hours. Too much bright natural light causes a migraine. Also, any kind of sudden noise, such as a slamming door or voice I wasn’t expecting to hear, causes my vision to suddenly erupt into a fireworks display and that can only mean one thing.
Okay, so my vision goes “weird”. The migraiine doctor told me that this is called “fragmentation”. I just see things splintered and not as a whole picture. Yes, my eyes feel “strained”. It becomes very difficult to be in any sort of light at all. Oh, also, my eyes begin running uncontrollably, I mean, like I am crying.
Often, my left arm and fingers will go completely numb. Oh, the entire top of my head will go tingly, and also, grossest of all, the skin on my forehead will lift and move involuntarily. I also get a really, really stiff neck.
Yes, I also become disfunctional in speech and thought. If I try to speak, often words will come out in the wrong order. I can’t think of the word for an item I am holding in my hand. I do lose “parts” of things I am looking at—as you say, parts of people’s faces.
Then I may or may not start heaving. If I can take a certain medication at the very first symptom, such as my forehead moving all by itself, sometimes 2 times out of 5 the migraine will not come. But I have noticed that it then sneaks back the next day, and then it is there to stay.
My symptoms are sly and not the same every time, so many times they will get past me before I realize what is going on.
I also get different kinds of migraines. The living end worst for me is the “ice pick” which is localized in one spot on my head, which I can actually pinpoint. I am fine until, suddenly, it feels like a knife is slicing right through my skull. This sometimes literally brings me to my knees (I fall down) and then, when it has passed through me, I am okay until about 30 seconds later, when it happens all over again.This headache can last 5 days, or, once, I had an Ice Pick Migraine that lasted over 3 months, by which time, death was becoming a reasonable option.
Q: I used to get migraines ALOT and of course I would have the symptoms that would come before the migraine…?
but now I am just having the symptoms without migraines following is it possible they are due to something else? Like is it possible they might be telling me something else is wrong? I am experiencing a blinding sensation in one or both eyes, but I can still see…it’s almost like my eyes are wrapped in alumnium foil. It’s kind of strange so I don’t know how to explain it. I’ve also experienced some some pain in my eyes and slight pain in my head but right along with the symptoms not after them as what used to happen and it’s not anything close to a migraine feeling. Can anyone help me out with this I don’t want my doc to think I’m crazy when I try to explain this to him.
A: Sounds about right. Same thing has been happening to me this year. Just be glad it’s not a full migrain. Migrains are mental and your brain is finding ways to counteract the migrain before it develops. You may also be finding ways to react to it differently.
Here are some things I do.
1. Take 2 motrin as soon as I see it with my eyes (sometimes I can feel it come on before my eyes go wacky).
2. Relax
3. Walk around to get blood flowing if you’ve been sitting
4. Use the restroom, eat something soft like a burito, massage sore muscles, or anything else I can tell that may be causing internal stress
5. Rest your eyes
6. Get a damp washcloth put on your eyes / forehead
7. Lay down in bed
8. If migraine still coming on, I take another 2 motrin at about 1/2 hr after step 1. Then I go back to bed and its a waiting game from there.
Q: I have a friend who has been complaining of gradual loss of vision in his left eye over the past few weeks.?
It has been impairing his work habits, and he is also under a lot of stress as of late, and I worry that it may be the start of something more serious. Any suggestions? Other symptoms he has include floating spots in front of his eye, migraines, constant feeling of something in the offending eye, and a hot, heavy feeling in front of the eyes. Also, his eye is slightly red. Help please, he is a very good friend, and I worry about him. Thank you.
A: Alright, these are all signs that he needs to get checked out. Any time you have eye symptoms like this, ESPECIALLY loss of vision for any reason, you can’t expect it to heal. It’s not something like a cold or a headache that you can treat easily or that will go away on its own. We’re talking about potential blindness/impairment here!
So please urge your friend to go to an optometrist immediately.
Q: Distressing symptoms of migraine….?
Some migraines have unusual symptoms, such as loss of vision in one eye, has anyone encountered these, and have they hindered your lifestyle?
A: I used to suffer from migraine and my most distressing symptoms were feeling nauseous without actually vomiting dizziness and an arc of dancing zigzag lights thatt gradually grew from a small spot. They didn’t hinder my lifestyle because I refused to let them!!
By the way, my migraines were caused by my contraceptive pill.Changing to a different method of contraception really made the difference, as my migraines have gone!!
Q: Aura migraine.. stroke like symptoms..pregnancy?
did anyone else begin to have migraines with auras… symptoms very similar to a mini stoke or TIA when they got pregnant because of the change in hormones?? if so, what did you take to relieve the pain???
very scary situation, numbness in one arm… cant talk straight… seeing lights and things move in the corner of your eye..dizziness.. thank god it’s just a migraine though. but yeah back to the question, what’d you do for pain? and how often did it happen to you?
A: This happened to me before, during, and after pregnancy. I know, it’s very scary and debilitating. Honestly, I didn’t do much, but go to bed. I am a less is more kind of person. Sometimes I would take Tylenol, but ask your doctor before you take ANYTHING just be sure that it is safe for you. Good luck.
Q: Double vision and headache could this be a migraine starting?
I start getting a light headache that will not go away for many hours then just tonight i started having double vision or at least it seemed like it. It also seemed like there was a think coating of something over my eyes. Could these symptoms be leading up to a migraine. What should I do? It has been happening for a week.
A: I’ve had migraines since I was 3 and im 42 now. migraines are on one side of your head, like mine are mainly on the left side of my head above my eye. You could be having a cluster headache which is totally different than a migraine. mine usually last for a few days. I’m usually sensitive to light, sound , just looking at a computer sreams at my migraine..
I would check with your doctor and if you don’t have one find a low cost facility and ask them…. maybe even www.webmd.com could have more ansers than us. maybe theres something else going with it, I don;’t want to scare you but I’ve known a few family members that their headaches come a long fast and come to find out it was an aneurysm.
Good luck
Q: What’s the longest a migraine usually lasts and is numbness on the side of your head a migraine symptom?
I’ve had a migraine for two weeks now and the pain is mostly near my eyes, but not really both sides of my head at the same time. Sometimes it feels numb, other times a sharp stabbing pain, and sometimes a dull throbbing pain. I have a history of head injuries and concussions and my mother died of a brain tumor. Because of my history, is it normal that I should have such bad headaches or should I see a doctor?
A: Based on your symptoms and family history, please see a doctor, soon! A neurologist would be best. If you need a referral, see your primary care doctor first explain everything you did above to them and ask for a referral to a neurologist.
Q: Migraine symptoms?
Sometimes I get a bad headache when there’s really bright light or loud noises. My eyes ache as well but I don’t get any sickness, could this be a migraine? And if it is what can I do about it?
A: Let symptoms go hell, try to cure it.
pl see what suits you.
If you are in cold country use all warm things.
Pl try cold water bath and observe if in hot country, if pain increases use warm.
If you have cough/cold body hot water bath will help.
Massage and exercise in front of morning sun is good thing, pl try.
Pl try simple acupressure given below for immediate relief.
If it fails you will have to go for Acupuncture.
There is hardly any medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache, Ear ache/ringing, Stomach ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc 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.
Pain killers don’t treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.
Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, tension, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, SMOKING and alcohole.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits like dates, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there.
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 is very strong.
If it is acute pl search a painful point (with round tipped pen/jimmy) 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.
It may disappear naturally too.
