Constant headaches

Well last monday I had a migraine, and basically spent the night throwing up and with that intense pain that you usually get with a migraine in your head. I spent tuesday recovering and come wednesday morning I felt okay. But then the afternoon kicked in and I got a headache. I also started to feel dizzy and a bit slow...but not that dizzy, pretty hard to explain actually. I took a few paracetomal but I'm still in the same boat 8 days later. I also see a white spec of light every now and then when I'm looking at bright colours on the right side of my vision. It is like a minor version of how your sight screws up in aura with a migraine.

Anyone ever had this? I'm going to go to the doctor tomorrow but I hardly see some magic answers being given by him so just looking for past experiences involved with a lengthy headache from any people here. Sometimes it goes away when I'm sitting down then it comes back randomly. It isn't a bad headache, more of a dull ache. Another thing is I am so tired constantly, even though I'm sleeping around 10 hours a night. I just finished exams too so I don't see it being the stress somehow.

I read about how you can get chronic tension headaches from a migraine, that never go away. I really hope that isn't true here..

Thanks

Going to the doctors is the best thing to do. Other than that, are you constantly dehydrated? How much water do you drink? I get migranes a lot and it's simply because I hardly drink anything in the day, when it's so hot.

I drink a few glasses a day, granted not enough probably but I believe enough.

Apparently those who suffer from lots of migraines have a high sex drive. (due to seretonin levels).

More on track, the problem may lie with your eyesight?

I get migraines every so often, it does annoy me but I learn to live with them.

yeah, i sometimes have these constant headaches :frown:

especially during the exam session... my head hurts for about 3 days after the exam :frown:

also, i drink a lot of coca-cola (funny thing to say but i'm addicted to it) and now i'm trying to quit it. so, if i don't drink it all day, i have a constant headache :frown:

last summer i was in the same situation but somehow i managed to suffer that constant headache for about a week and after that it stoped without drinking coca-cola :smile:

I get awful migraines myself so I know how bad they can be. This doesn't really sound like a migraine though as it's been more than 72 hours although you can get the odd weird one. Could be cluster headaches. Don't know much about them other than that the pain is horrendous. Go to the Dr but you will probably have to be persistent, I have had every kind of migraine med they do but I still get them and now I am seeing a neurologist because they are so bad. If you are only taking paracetamol you might find that even one of the milder migraine meds is enough for you, for me taking paracetamol is about as useful as eating smarties. Are you a girl or a boy? If you are a girl and on the pill come off it straight away and avoid taking anything with any kind of hormone in it. Also if you are taking anything herbal stop right now whether you are a boy or a girl.
