About 8 months ago I was having pretty regular headaches with spells of hotheadedness. I went to the dr and was told is was likely stress related migraines. So I tried not to stress so much and the symptoms started lessening (I got a dog too) I’ve also been taking maxalt when the episodes get bad.
Up until a couple of weeks ago I hadn't had a bad episode in months. Then today I had a pretty bad one ... I had just got off the phone with my husband and was fine. Then I was playing with my dogs and all of the sudden I felt sort of dizzy (lucky I was sitting) the feeling lasted for about 5 or 10 mins and now I have a headache.
This seems to happen more when I get up too fast or it I throw my head back (like to escape doggy kisses) or close my eyes too tight. But sometimes it happens for no reason ... The other day I got the lightheaded feeling just laying in bed.
Could this just be migraines or something else?
