Headaches, Headaches Please Go Away Posted: 05-13-07 08:41am
I have now just started getting these
headaches on the lower part on my forehead
around my eyes and boy my back is killing
me so bad there are sharp pains on some
parts of my back I wake up with a
throbbing headache like my brain is
shaking inside my head it comes and goes
but it's really worst when I wake up I
don't know if it because of stress &
anxiety or what if you look at my other
postings under the panic attacks you will
probably think that theses headaches are
associated with the anxiety.
Please Respond

Headaches... Posted: 05-14-07 01:17am
Migraines can stem from many things -- I
had migraines for years, I now take
supplements that have helped with some
deficiencies in my body and health --
magnesium, calcium, etc... Feeling
better, not many tough migraine headaches,
not as much back pain or any body for that
matter...
Migraines are genetic in nature. A family
history of migraines predisposes you to
getting migraines. Migraine sufferers have
noted that there are certain triggers that
can bring on a migraine.
* Food sensitivities:
o Foods that contain the amino
acid tyramine found in red wine, aged
cheese, smoked fish, chicken livers, figs,
and some beans
o Chocolate, nuts, peanut
butter, some fruits (like avocado, banana,
and citrus), onions, dairy products
o Foods with monosodium
glutamate (MSG), a flavor enhancer added
to many foods.
o Meats containing nitrates
(bacon, hot dogs, salami, cured meats)
o Fermented or pickled foods
* Irregular lighting: Flickering
lights from the computer or television,
fluorescent lighting, strobe, laser or
pulsating lights.
* Strong smells or odors: Perfumes,
colognes, paints, car fumes
* Changes in hormone balance in women:
such as periods, the pill, or menopause.
Women who have migraines and who are on
the pill are eight times more likely to
suffer a stroke than women who don't have
migraines.
* Stress: A migraine can occur during
a period of relaxation following a
stressful time
* Weather: High pressure conditions,
changes in pressure, hot dry winds, change
of season, exposure to sun and glare
* Irregular sleep: Migraines can be
triggered by too much sleep or too little
sleep. If you have trouble regulating your
sleep patterns, you may consider using
blue light therapy to regulate your
circadian rhythms. Read more about blue
light.
* Irregular meals, fasting, low blood
sugar
* Caffeine withdrawal
* Bursts of intense physical activity
* Smoking
* Excess noise
* Sexual arousal

Thank you I don't really think that it's
migraines my head is just hurting on the
left side of my head, and my back, and
neck is hurting I think that it's from
maybe stress or something because I been
so stressed out because of my phobia with
germs and blood and it's causing me to not
live a regular life and stopping me from
doing the things I want to do

It could be tension headaches. Have you
brought this concern to your doctors
attention?

Well, excedrine has a new line. Its called
'excedrine tension headache' you might
want to give it a try and see if that
helps.
