Headache That Has Lasted 5 Months So Far!! Please Help! Posted: 09-12-06 12:17pm
Hi I am a 32 year old female that has had
this terrible headache along with this
fluttering and pain in the my neck for the
past 5 months. The headache is a sharp
pain that shoots across the top of my
head. When it happens, it stops me dead
in my tracks. The pain only lasts for a
few seconds but I feel like I am gonna
die! Then when I get this fluttering in
the front of my neck I feel like my
breathing is going to stop because it
seems that I always feel it when I am
inhaling. That also stops me dead in my
tracks because I get lightheaded with it.
I've been to the doctor several times
regarding the headaches and fluttering in
my neck. I had an 3 ekg's, stress test,
echocardiogram, extensive blood work,
urine tests and a mri on my head and
everything has been coming back normal.
I have not been under any unusual stress
lately. My doctor is telling me that I
am depressed....Is he serious? Only
because he doesnt know the answer and I
went to his office crying one day because
of the pain in my head. I can't take the
pain anymore! Ive tried migraine and
tension meds but they don't help. How
accurate is a mri anyways? Someone
please help me out here! :o all replies
welcome. :d

Well, I havent had a headache for the last
5 months but I can tell I have had the
neck andsharp pain in the head symptom
several times before. It also stopped me
in my tracks and I also felt light headed
afterwards.
A doctor told me once that if you had a a
mri and came back normal your good for the
next ten years.
Hopefully this has helped you.

Oh my gosh, that sounds tremendously
awful.
Is there a chance it's related to an
anxiety disorder?
Or perhaps you need to see a specialist?
