Ever since I was about 6 - 8 years old I've suffered from headaches. Usually they occured once a week and since they had said on the news at that time that children shouldn't suffer more than 2 headaches a month I was intrigued but I paid no mind to it. Now that I'm 19, I still suffer from them and they occur 3-4 times a week. Aspirins of any kind don't work so I don't take them at all. But lately I seem to get almost severe pain on my right side. Sometimes it's throbbing, sometimes it hurts once, then a couple of minutes go by and it hits me again, and again. I usually feel dizziness with my headaches and also with these severe ones. I feel no nausea or need to vomit. My vision gets a little rought around the edges and sometimes I lose my balance. The severe ones don't happen often, but the past days they've been ocurring. I eat well. Should I be worried about these headaches? My parents have never wanted to take me to a doctor because they say it's unimportant. That it's just in my mind.
