Q: Headaches Everyday....lately

Hello,

hopefully someone can help me out. I woke up last sunday (10/29) morning with what I thought was a mild hangover. Saturday night I had two shots of tequilla and smoked a lil bud. I went to bed late and I kinda knew I would have a headache (nothing unusual for me when I drink and smoke late)) in the morning. The thing is....The headache comes and goes. It seems I can feel it in the back of my neck and the back of my head......It can really start throbbing too. Im just getting kinda worried. I've never had a headache act like this. I've been taking excedrin, but it does nothing!! Excedrin usually works really well for me. Im 37, male, pretty healthy. I do take pepcid for heartburn. Suggestions, advise...Anyone?

The bud nowadays can be cut with some pretty nasty stuff which you night have gotten hold of if yoou start feeling worse or not any better contact your Dr. And tell him the truth, you also could have slept on your neck wrong and remember, tequilla is also pronoununced t-killya, I understand though, I used to like tequilla too! I am no Dr. You might ask ssomeone if you were the life of the party, that was there.

Hello

at the start of my anxiety I had severe headaches which I had never experienced before. It turned out that I had bad anxiety and a lot of it was coming off the tension I held in my neck.

Also I experienced this after experimenting with some drugs, I honestly think that this maybe contributed to my anxiety. It has been a hard lesson to learn but I know i`ll never touch the stuff again.

The headaches subsided when I became more relaxed.

Good luck

It could be something to do with anxiousness. For blood starts pounding in your head--but usually subsides after the thing that made you anxious and worried goes away. It elevates your blood pressure when anxious and when smoking and when drinking. Should have gone away. My son had the same problems he loves hit pot, but finally had to quit all together it started to affect his heart. Same thing headaches and blood pounding then....... His heart. The pot they were smokin was the best of the best. Seriously the kind it only takes 2 hits and you're smashed. Yes there could have been something in it too---but it could have just been extremely good bud. My daughter started having more anxiety attacks on that same pot.

Hey I used to smoke 11 years straight. Dont look down on pple who do. It was my life saver. Calmed me down, pulled me out of my depression and also was a pain killer for me. But I also loved to get high!!! It was my thing--and the occasional tequilla. That was my fav drink.

Headaches Every Day In the Back of the Head - Me Too!
After reading through these forums and seeing that lots of people are having similar experiences, i've decided to describe mine - and hopefully the cause of the headches! I have to figure this out - worries of brain tumors, operations, and cancer scare me!

I've been experiencing headaches everyday for the past few weeks, sometimes mild sometimes bad. They seem to always start in the back of the head, and it makes my head feel like pressure is building up inside - as I could poke a needle in the back of my head and whoosh - the pain would go away. Also, I can sometimes "taste" mucous or sinuses in my head. Lots of people out there seem to have headache problems, and i'm just trying to find a common thread. Here is some info on my situation:

-very good shape, excellent health.

-american expat. Lived in japan for 10 years, and moved to shanghai about one year ago.

-a little red wine in the evenings before dinner (usually just a glass or 2).

-work is very busy, but I don't think it's that stressful - esp because I enjoy it!

-(this one seems similar to the others...). I spend at least 6 hours/day on a laptop (ibm).

Ok. I absolutely hate doctors and hospitals and almost always figure out what's wrong with me on my own. I'm a big believer in pm (preventative medicine), and try to stay as healthy as possible to avoid illnesses (instead of focusing on "cures"). But I just can't figure this one out. But ti may be close. I visited this chinese medicine shop around the corner (i live in shanghai). I told the "doctor" my symptoms, and the friendly old lady just laughed at me! And told me, that lots of people have the same thing. It's just the climate and air quality in shanghai, and the pain is just caused my mucous buildup in my head! She gave me some tcm (traditional chinese medicine) and some "cold tylenol". Anyway, before this turns into a book... The combo seems to be working. The headaches have gotten much better, but they're not completely gone yet. So i'm still a little worried that I haven't pinpointed the actual cause.... If anyone has any ideas, please help!

Thanks
mike p

Headaches Everyday
Hi my jean here just joined this site this morning.
I woke with a headache every morning and a general feeling of being unwell I knew something was wrong because I stopped drinking alcohol 3 years ago and it felt very similar to a hangover. To cut a long story short I was diagnosed on the 1st february as having menieres disease thats how it all started a few months ago with a heavy fuzzy head, and I really hope its not not that as this is really driving me crazy as there are so many other symptoms. Good luck, drink plenty water as its dehydration that causes headaches
