Headaches.. Them damn headaches

[Hivenburs]

I haven't had to take panadol in a week, but still, I have had tension headaches most of the week and a migraine today, I wish I could safely take panadol without worrying.. But I don't want increased anxiety from the tablets... Oh anxiety

Also! I am on 275mg of zoloft.. Maybe that cpuld be it? I have been on five months though.. Usually people get headaches during early use I think

Do you have a history of headaches?

Is there any chance that you grind your teeth at night? That can cause migraines and tension headaches as well.

I'd look into the tooth grinding first, personally - I know it's something that I do and it gives me all kinds of headaches just from muscular pain.

Otherwise, have you tried meditation or other ways of relaxing? You could try some stretches to ease up your head/neck muscles, a cup of tea, some lavender drops, or a cool compress.

Wow That's exactly what I went through constant headaches for weeks on the left temple with a tingling sensation running across the top of my head couldn't stop googling the symptoms with the worst possible diagnosis so I ended up booking an eye test after reading that they could pick up possible tumors and other abnormalities which sent my anxiety and fears through the roof. All was fine with that however I noticed everytime I turned my neck I could feel and hear a crunching sensation so I went to a physio\chiropractor which pointed out all the headaches was from the neck and bad posture from all the anxiety. After 2 sessions of adjustments the headaches have completely gone but tends to mildly appear again when the neck is stiff.

We're headaches all over head? Mine is my right temple it's horrid

It started at the back of the head more of an isolated stabbing pain which at this point I started to notice the tingling sensation at the top after about 2 weeks the stabbing pain subsided and than the chronic pounding pain in the left temple started to appear which drove me nuts I have a history of cracking my neck with ease but with all the tension and pain I just couldn't do it for weeks. If say try to get your hands of some good natural tiger balm and have your neck properly looked at by a hands on professional.

Not coping at all this evening head is driving me mad. Waiting to see headache specialist. The pain in temple feels stabbing. Do u use tiger balm on temples? My neck has had pain but has subsided. How u coping u take 0ainkillers

I totally understand what you may be going through and I'm sorry you are going through it. As for painkillers I started taking em but they didn't do anything. How long have you been suffering with headaches? I went about 4 weeks constantly. with the tiger balm you rub\massage it into the neck and its great at reducing tension and muscle strains it may be worth a shot. You may be surprised at the problems a bad neck can cause.
