Unexplained Headaches Posted: 06-18-07 17:12pm
Since February of this year I have had
constant headaches from the moment I wake
up until the moment I fall asleep. I'm 17
and very active. I've been seeing a doctor
but so far they have come up with nothing.
I'm currently on amitriptyline but it is
not helping. Sometimes they get so bad I
can't even get out of bed but sometimes
they are moderate. Lately they have been
getting much worse. I've also been
noticing that i've been having numbing
sensations in certain spots of my arms.
They've been severely interrupting with my
everyday life and if anyone could help me
out in any way I would greatly appreciate
it.

Welcome to .ehealth!
I'm sorry that you have been experiencing
this. I know how frustrating and scary it
can be to not know any answers, especially
at a young age.
Amitriptyline can be helpful, but on it's
own, isn't going to offer the most help.
Have you tried any other medications? Even
over the counter, such as tylenol or
excedring? If so, were they of any help?
What type of pain are you experiencing?
More of a dull or sharp? Throbbing or
pressure? Where are you experiencing the
pain? Is it more on a certian part of your
head or all over? You said that they can
very in intensity, have you noticed what
makes it worse?
THis is a list of the most common
triggers. But, it doesn't have to be one
of these.
