hi everyone,
I am 41 years old and have just been diagnosed with having migraines. It started last Wednesday when I was sitting in the sun I got a feeling of pins and needles come over the top of the left side of my head and a tingle in my left cheek. Obviously I panicked and thought I was having a stroke. I told the nurse when I went for my blood test that afternoon and she thought it could be a migraine. I went to the drs on friday and it was confirmed it's definitely a migraine. He prescribed me Ibuprofen. I came away feeling relived but still feling groggy and sick. Saturday I felt 95% ok and sat in the garden all day in the sun, by 6pm I felt sick and the tingle had covered the whole of my left side of my face. Again, I panicked, all the what ifs etc started running through my mind. I done a stupid thing and googled my symptoms I totaly freaked myself out. I decided to go and lie down and try and stop panicing. I was fine. Sunday morning I was tired and stayed in bed. Got up between 3pm and 9pm went back to bed and had a lovely sleep. This morning I got up and had a slight tingle in cheek again and tingles in my fingers. I feel sick, my head feels full of concrete and I'm full of panic again, I'm going to my Dr's at 2.50pm today.
please can anyone help me, I'm frightened and need some advice on migraines
