Anyone else get headaches all the time?

[Atlantean]

I get like 3 or 4 headaches a day. It really sucks, I take way too much advil, so I went to the doctors the other day and she gave me a perscription of elavil which is supposed to prevent the headaches. I have to go for a cat scan soon so they can find out whats going on. Anyone else get tonnes of headaches?

 

[murphy55d]

I just got a headache actually. Just took 2 Excedrin.

 

[TekChik]

It's a TUM-AH!

Actually, tho...I used to until I went to a chiropractor. I'd go to one of those before I got the cat scan just to see. In my case, some nerves were being pinched. I'm fine now.

Man, your post gives me a headache!

Seriously, I get sinus headaches all the time. Occassionally they turn into migraines.

Not fun. Hope they can figure it out and fix it!

I get a few headaches a week.

ITS PROLLY A TUMOR!

j/k



I recently started getting daily headaches. I thought I had a concussion from a drunken headbutting incident cuz they were much worse a couple weeks ago and gradually got better. Now they come and go quickly and the doctor said it could be stress related but i'm pretty stress free as far as I know.

Yeah I already did, thats where I got the perscription from. She told me not to take advil anymore. Next time I am gonna aim for painkillers if this doesn't work.

I get them every now and then... common causes are waiting too long between meals or using headphones too much.

 

[brunswickite]

you might need glasses, before i got glass/contacts i would get headaches from eye strain

 

[Antoneo]

Psyduck?

I get them all the time too! I used to take Inderal and it worked very well to prevent them but after a few months it lost it's effectiveness. I'd try it out though......

Could be allergies, especially this time of year.

Tried any antihistamine?

I don't think its allergies cause I get them all year round... just recently decided to see what the doctor would say about them. Also its not a vision thing because I have 20/10 vision.

A lot of people also get headaches b/c they are dehydrated. Try to drink enough water during the day, it might help.

 

[Brutuskend]

I used to get them all the time.

I stopped eating ANYTHING with MSG in it...no more headaches.

 

[slikmunks]

[Ameesh]

Anything could have brought them on, but the thing that made them teh worse was stress. I got a CT scan and EEG and they just said i had migraines.

What you need to do is make a journal doccumenting everything that you eat and if you had a stressful day... tehre should be some sort of corralation and then you may be able to come to a conclusion on things that bring them on. Wine, cheese, and breads may aggravate the headache as well!

It still could be your vision, or something related - lighting conditions, or even slight failure in your vision. When was the last time you had your eyes checked?

I used to get a lot of stress-related headaches, too.

 

[blackdogdeek]

it could also be latent food allergies. i hope you get better.

Actually since I started watching for MSG in food, I've found it in a LOT of things. Some things you would NEVER guess has it in it. Some Mac and cheese, ALL flavored potato chips, some parmesan cheese, most soup, the list goes on and on. A lot of food allergies build up over time, in other words foods that may not have bothered you at one time can eventually become a problem. If there are certain foods you CRAVE, there is a good chance you are allergic to them. It's not the food you are craving, but the endorphins your body produces to fight off the allergic reaction. Molds are another BIGGIE for causing headaches too.
