Mysterious Head Pains Posted: 07-06-04 14:57pm
I'm 20 years old and have never had a head
ache until this summer. For the past two
months I have been experiencing severe
head pains that I am assuming are
headaches. They are in the bottom back of
my head and move forward to the sides of
my head. I went to the doctor and he gave
me ibuprofen 600 mg and said that they
were not migraines. I have a feeling that
there is much more to this than just head
pains. Does anyone have any idea what
this could be? The doctor might send me
for a cat-scan. Does anyone think that
this idea is good, bad or otherwise? I
woudl appreciate any post that would lead
me in the right direction.
-i've also experienced dizzyness and
extreme fatigue with these head pains.
I've also had no appetite whatsoever.

Has anything else changed in your life -
food, study/work, where you live, exercise
anything????
I would have an mri & also blood tests
& get your eyes tested - it is best to
rule out things sooner rather than
later.
Try & think when these headaches occur
- after any food, exercise, being
somewhere or doing something even after
being with or thinking you'll be with a
person. Allergies can cause truly severe
headaches & allergies can develop out
of the blue at any age. Stress can also
cause them. Sometimes too we don't
realize we're stressed because it comes
out as a physical symptom instead of as a
feeling of worry/fear etc.
