very painful headaches lasting only seconds but frequent Posted: 12-02-07 11:50am
This is the third day now. I get these
strange headaches on the left side, mainly
my eye and behind it and the pain can
shoot through to the back of my head
sometimes. They feel like someone is
jamming their thumb in my eye, or as if a
nerve is being twisted and pulled in my
head. They are very painful, but last
only seconds. The longest one lasting
about a 1 min. They come and go; several
in an hour. Before getting these, there
were times during the week that I felt a
little dizzy. I haven't been awakened by
these, but I will get them as soon as I
wake up. I don't get dizzy with the
headache, but there are times when I just
feel like I need to sit down and get my
bearings between some of the headaches. I
haven't lost my appetite and I have gotten
nauseas a couple of time. Muscle aches as
well...spontaneous and in different
locations. Had some back pain too. Oh,
one more thing. I have this odd slight
popping sound in my left year; I've had it
before without headache or anything. The
popping sound happens when I hear moderate
loud noise...like a reactionary pop
sound.

Any ideas from the docs...has anyone had
something like this?

Unusual Headaches Posted: 12-02-07 11:58am
I get those weird headaches too,and I'm
only 15 years old. Is this strange or
what? I'm worried is it a tumor? Will this
pain ever go away? I've had these
headaches for over 2 years.

Bluberries,
Just thought you should know, I did try
Excedrin migraine today and it seemed to
help. I also had a cup of coffee, which
maybe I shouldn't have, because Excedrin
has caffeine in it. I was jittery for a
while, but the headaches seemed to
stop...a small jab once in a while did
come, but not like I've been having since
friday evening. Also, I should have
started when it all started, but I did
keep a headache journal. I found that my
headaches were spiking around the top of
the hour, then I would have about a 30 to
40 minute period of no headaches. I even
put a pain scale...which most of them were
10s. That's how I knew the med was
helping. When the top of the hour came
around, my headaches weren't happening.
It took about 30 minutes for the excedrin
to kick in. I'm gonna make an appointment
with the doctor Monday morning...I hope I
can get in there quick and I hope the
headaches don't come back in the meantime.
Now that the headaches have subsisted I
feel achy and exhausted!!!
I'll keep posting back here so that it
serves as a sort of journal to help
others.
Also, This was day three with the
headaches and I tried extra strength
tylonal and motrin. Tylonal helped for
about less than an hour and motrin did
nothing. Excedrin or the coffee did it.
