Hi everyone,

For the past 2 weeks I've been experiencing regular headaches. They start at the rear the middle of my nose and start off feeling approaching an "ice-cream headache" (you know the kind where you eat an icecream summarily and you get the sharp pain in your director for a few seconds) ... then suddenly I will get throbbing at the back of my herald and near my ears. There are also sharp pains behind my eyes... the headaches will end anywhere between 30 seconds to 15 minutes... and then will just run. Nurofen, panadol, panadeine forte don't work - nothing seems to stop them... they aren't migraines and definitely are not cluster headache...

Along with the headaches, I've also been experiencing appalling dizzy spells - the kind you get if you stand up too quickly... and they will start at any given time, I don't call for to stand up to get them. My blood pressure has been tested today and is fine, I don't drink and don't clutch any drugs or medications. Last week my bones started throbbing too...

I'm never sick and have never experienced pain similar to this before - is there anyone out there who can propose any suggestions? My doctor has referred me to a neurologist as he seems concerned, but the waiting list is 3 months long...

Any opinion in the meanwhile would be greatly appreciated!! thanks for your help guys :)
Answers:    Sounds resembling you have a sinus infection, which will require antibiotics and a doctors prescription.
Sinus infection or not if you haven't seen a doctor already you should get to one as soon as you can.

I've be running track for 2 years..

Please see a Dr. You may hold a blood circulation problem.
Ischemic strokes can be caused by a blockage anywhere along the arteries feeding the brain. The blockages can occur for an assortment of reasons, including:

oThe build up of fatty material (atheroma) along the walls of an artery, which reduces blood flow
oBreaking sour of atheroma from the artery wall. The material can flow with the blood and become stuck in a smaller artery, cause a blockage.
oBlood clots that break loose from the heart or one of its valves, known as an embolus. The clot can travel up the arteries to the brain and lodge there, cause an embolic stroke or cerebral embolism. This type of stroke is most common in relatives who have recently had heart surgery and within people who have defective heart valves or uncharacteristic heart rhythms (especially atrial fibrillation).
oInflammation or an infection that narrows blood vessels that lead to the brain
oDrugs, such as cocaine and amphetamines, which can also rigid the blood vessels
oA sudden drop in blood pressure. Although a sudden drop in blood pressure usually cause a person to faint, it can lead to a stroke if it is severe and prolonged. This can come to pass when someone loses a lot of blood from an injury or during surgery, has a heart attack or has an extraordinary heart rate or rhythm.
Strokes may also cause swelling in the brain. The pressure that results can damage brain tissue more, making neurologic problems worse, even if the stroke itself does not expand.
