Hi

i have sever headaches most of the time. To the point where its a daily thing. My temples hurt and the veins start bulging. And start throbbing hard. I have taken medicine for this before and it did help but not that much. But my temples really hurt and then when the veins start showing it really hurts this is on both sides of my head. Is this anything like your type of headache?

Not sure, I think I figured out two things tho.

The headaches started coming when I started was chewing gum on a regular basis. When I stopped chewing gum so much, they went away. I think maybe somehow my jaw was transmitting the pain up through my temples.

Secondly, since the pulsing is the same as my pulse, i'm thinking it is just my pulse that i'm feeling, although why I can only feel it in my temples when I have a head ache i'm not sure. I don't have any throbbing veins though, sorry.

tornman, i am having the exact same problem for a week no and right now in that aread is numb. is there anyone that can explain what this is about and why. is it stress related?

When I was younger, from about 9-22 years of age, I had severe headaches. I don't know what caused them and never really researched them. Sometimes I couldn't get up because the pain was so intense, other times I would easily get irate at people because of the pain.

One day I woke up and knew something was different but wasn't sure exactly what, kind of similar to noticing something is different about your friend and you haven't realized what it is yet. And then it comes to you, oh no more braces, or a haircut, well just like that I noticed my headache was gone.

To this day ( and I actually have one right now) I still have headaches and even the ones that leave me curled up in my bed moaning while tears are streaming down the side of my face. They hurt!

I don't have a suggestion for your prolonged issue other than a CT scan or MRI or whatever does a brain scan, because it is possible you have a tumor or pressure in your skull( I watch way too much HOUSE).

But something that TOTALLY works for me with my temporary headaches is Excedrin. On a scale of 1-10, 1=weakest 10=extremely painful, I take two of the maximum strength for a 1-6 headache and three for a 6-10 headache. IF you notice the overlap on 6, its because when it gets to that level sometimes you can't be sure whether or not it will get worse, so i am cautious.

I am not a doctor, nor claim that my situation can resolve another persons medical condition. This did, and continues to help me when I have the issue as described above. With ANY advice, always make sure to get a second opinion from your doctor or nurse hotline.

I hope this helps!!

According to my doctor I suffer from "Cluster Migraines" I explained the strange throbbing in my head and my veins and he described something this. The heart is continually pumping blood around the body. When a migraine is induced the veins and blood vessel's in the head area constrict and become smaller. Therefor the blood has a smaller passage to pass through hence the throbbing and the pain. I hope this helped atleast one person atleast, the only remedy for me is plenty of pill's and SLEEP. Even then, If I cough, sneeze etc my head will hurt for the next 2-3 days yet only when I cough.
