For years now i've been afflicted with headaches. I never thought much about them, they weren't too bad and seemed to come and go. About two years ago, I had a string of painful migraines that were bothering me enough I requested to go the doctor (i'm 15, if that matters). He accused me of being depressed and said it was all in my head. For months now (i'm gonna estimate since february) i've been getting more painful ones. I thought at first they were jaw related, b/c the pain started around my upper jaw and traveled to my temples. Now i'm not so sure.

I get these headaches almost every day (i have one as I type this), and within the past month, dizzy spells have accompanied them. I got my period today, and along with it the worst dizzy spell i've ever had (i don't know if there is a correlation or not- but I thought it was interesting to note). I've been keeping a log of what I eat and what i'm doing when they occur and can find no link. I've mentioned these headaches numerous times before (each time my parents go "we've never heard that!", when I know they have, many times) this latest time they promised to take me to a doctor- nearly a month later, they have not.

These dizzy spells are starting to worry me, but I don't want to beg my parents to pay the money for a doctor's appointment just to be told it's all in my head. (and no, I am not depressed, I know that much.) I know I should, but before I do, does anyone have a similar experience? Does this sound like it's really a problem, or does it sound to you guys like it's just my imagination?

Ps- I forgot to mention that over the counter painkillers like aspirin and ibuprofen do nothing for these headaches. :?
