I own a strange headache...?
And I'd like to know what it is.
Maybe it's a *type* of migraine?
It's a REALLY sharp feeling (not so much pain) contained by my left temple. I get it every time I cough, sneeze, or bend down at full tilt. Sometimes I get it out of nowhere...
I am NOT sensitive to ANYTHING...lights, sounds, etc... Which makes me imagine it's not...but when I described my symptoms to my doctor yesterday she marked on the paperwork that I have a migraine... She didn't even look into my eyes or ANYTHING.
It's really strange and it's kinda upsetting feeling...not cause it hurts, but because of what it feel like... It feels approaching something is going to explode there.. :-/
Thing is, though, it's not an anurism(sp?) because those you don't feel... which is a moral sign...but still.
What could this be?!? ANY help would be appreciated... :-)
Answer:
How heaps broken bones own you have?
There are so many types of headache that it can cause a headache just doing the research!I believe that your Doctor may hold diagnosed you with Migraine due to the vascular nature of your headache. Your explanation of bending over, coughing, sneezing, shows that it is a vascular headache. (Blood vessel abnormalities)
There are subcategories of Migraine, you are right! There are things such as Ocular Migraines, Abdominal Migraines, Nocturnal Migraines, Basilar Migraines, Hemiplegic Migraines, and others.
You may be able to find some information online about the subclassifications of Migraines. (Cluster headache are also vascular in nature)
The best thing to do, within my experience is to sit down and describe the "feeling" of the pain, and put it down on paper. You did a right job of explaning that here.
Examples would be: Stabbing, Throbbing, Electrical, Sharp, Dull, Constant, Ache, Shooting, etc.
Also, if there are *any* things which minister to or hinder your headache would be important to write down. This includes medication, temperatures, cold packs, warmth, extra sleep, less sleep, etc.
One more thing explicitly important: If you are on any medications, even over the counter, please check *all* of their side-effects. You may enjoy become sensitive to it.
And if you have started a new medication, or increased a dosage lately, please also filch note of that.
If you write these things down, and bring them to your appointment - you may have a better hit and miss of finding out what is happening.
As I cannot diagnose what is going on with your personal condition, I would suggest looking up things such as "Cluster Headaches", and "Migraine Types" online, to see if your symptoms more closely meeting any of the other conditions.
I wish you the absolute best of luck, and treatment of your headache!!
My Chest Hurts And I Don't Know Why.?
Wow. Did the doctor ask you if you've hit your head recenlty? If you have you should telephone call the doctor right away and tell him/her this! If you're not happy next to your doctors answers, see another doctor.Good Luck.
Sounds like your doctor did his job by giving you the deep-seated questionaire physical. This you cannot blame the doctor, but the insurance companies. They want to cut costs and corners any and every way possible.
When I was contained by the Marines (1991 to 1997), I started complaining about the same entity but it would hit me so hard that one side of my face twitched, and once it put me surrounded by the fetal position for about 15 minutes. I went to medical and they told me I have tension headaches. Doctors are usually a dissipate of time unless YOU know what is wrong with yourself and then they will prescribe the correct prescriptions.
If you are really worried (and hold good health coverage), I'd suggest getting a second feelings OR ask for a referal to talk to a headache specialist.
