i've had headaches on a regular basis at
since I was quite young. I've dealt with
them through medication, sleep, baths,
tea, ice packs, usually something always
worked.
Lately, i've started getting intense head
aches in the area right around my left
temple. They usually last 1-3 hours, and
medication has no effect on them (i
usually take acetaminophen or ibuprofen),
sometimes the other things do, sometimes
not. What I find strange is that if I put
my fingers directly over where the pain is
I can feel a very strong and distinct
"pumping" or pulsating sensation directly
beneith my fingertips, almost as if it
where my pulse. I've also noticed that
the pain of the head ache is usually
directly related to the speed of the
pulsating. Is this normal? Has anyone
else had experiences like this? What is
that pulsating feeling, and what can I do
to help them?
Thanks!

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?

Hey Posted: 05-22-06 16:19pm
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.
