@@myramedchan4775 I think he’s more meaning cap to what’s causing it, because staying hydrated and resting I would think could only help most problems but lack of sleep or being dehydrated might not be causing the headache
@@myramedchan4775"tends to be pretty accurate" when you cut out the majority of blatantly incorrect or unsubstantiated claoms she makes. The problem is people that start to see her as a reliable source of medical info, and believe the true as well as the false, which could end up being dangerous.
Sorry but eye pain is often a migraine, too. Especially if it feels like someone is stabbing you in the eyes with an icepick. You can also have no pain with a migraine, just visual distortions that mimic retinal detachment.
no an icepick headache is a completely different headache where it hurts in one specific spot badly. migraines blur/black your vison cause nausea speech problems and more. they usually hurt one only one side
No, I have had migraines since I was a teenager and migraines where it feels like someone is stabbing you in the eyeballs are common. You wind up hiding in bed under the covers. Just ask my son who has had migraines since he was 5 years old. I have also had hemiplegic migraines where the right side of my body was paralyzed for 4 days and left me with permanent muscle weakness.@clownyclowns7597
Yeah tell me about it. I have a brain tumor that there's a neurological disconnect with my vision which was one of my first symptoms and nobody could explain what was happening to me originally. Now even though they can explain it which this is their explanation "You have a brain tumor so you have a neurological disconnect with your vision. Good luck!"

I used to get everything she mentioned when I worked for USPS. Will be 50 this year & no more sumatriptan for me! Environment is everything. Jobs can physically make you Ill.
Amen! I worked 21 years at a company where I stood in one place all the time. I had to hear EVERYBODYS problems. I made good money. The co. sold out one day and gave me a 4 day notice. I lost my house 2 months ago.
yes, it absolutely can. I worked at a deli and took on way too much responsibility for what it was worth. couldn't even afford to see the doctor for what I worked for
So true! I used to have panic attacks on my way to work because my job was stressing me out so bad. They were quick to want to discipline me due to being late from said attacks instead of addressing my complaints for them to split my unrealistic work load. I walked out.
There's a lot of symptoms that go with a migraine. Severe pain, light sensitivity, nausea, vomiting and it can take up to 3 to 5 days for it to go away without medication. When you have a migraine you cannot function normally or think clearly. There are many things that can cause migraine symptoms. I used to get migraines a lot. I have insomnia, I had female issues, there were times that I was under a lot of stress. Then, I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes. Once I got my blood sugar levels under control and on the right meds, the migraines stopped. I'm very happy now. 😁😎👍🏼

I have migraine headaches and was told after an MRI that I had sinusitis. I kid you not, I looked the doctor right in the eye with a dirty look and told him "If you had bothered to look at my medical history you would see I've had sinusitis for over 20 years but these migraines have only been happening for the last eight!" It was a general practitioner, not a neurologist. I finally convinced a different PCP to get me in with a neurologist. Sometimes my migraines are from lack of sleep, sleeping on my hair (it's down to my waist), not remembering to take my hair down before bed and the bun/ponytail puts pressure on the occipital nerves, putting my hair up in a bun when wet (wet hair shrinks as it dries), ect. They only occur in one spot at a time, and the spot is different every time. I'm thankful I'm on a medication that works within an hour so I can function and go about my day. I've only had migraines that were so bad that I threw up. Had one once that caused me to scream in pain and, crazy as it sounds, it both helped with the pain and made it worse at the same time. Haven't had one of those in years thankfully.
I take Sumatriptan which is generic Imitrex. I take one and the migraine is gone in less than an hour. I used to take Relpax but my insurance stopped wanting to pay for it due to higher cost. But it worked a little better than Sumatriptan. Rarely I have to take 2 sumatriptan pills.
I have an unknown variant of "terminal" CF since birth, and I get allot of sinus issues. DRs ignored it for years, and it was getting increasingly difficult to speak without a weird tongue and jaw twich. I finally had a seizure and supposedly suffocated/died while still standing. And once they resuscitated me, they finally put me on an MRI. They found a huge abcess on the speech part of my brain. It came up from a nose infection into my brain, and almost took up half of my brain. They drained the abcess, which left a huge hole in my brain/head, and i had to learn to communicate again, as if i was a 1 yr old.. im still on anti seizures.. It's still crazy that no hospital or doctor found it for years despite its obvious severity and appearance in my throat. I told them for about 5 years, and they always said i was fine. I would say "always get a 2nd opinion", but in my case, it has been an 8th opinion with each one of my sicknesses xD I had to travel for allot of them. be careful people. Be stern. Know your body. And stay strong everyone! I litterally had to die for them to take it seriously, and I ended up damaged for life. So be sure to speak up and change docs if you have to
I had a brain tumor 21 years ago from becoming pregnant. It was removed but headaches have consumed my life, usually on one side from my eye socket to my ear and the top left side of my head. The biggest trigger is heat... I live in TEXAS!!! All of my fellow headache family members, I pray you are pain-free today. Meditation, yoga, relax, relate, and release!!!
I wonder how a child feels after a life receiving the message someone got a brain tumor followed by chronic pains because of the child's fetal residence in the womb.😂😅😮
@@g_oduofthenorth9618 Not all tumors are cancer. My sib has a "tumor" on their pituatary gland that is basically left over tissue from fetal development. And I've heard of weirder medical cases.

Increase your salt with fluids. Check your sodium levels and if they’re on the lower side of normal and you don’t follow a low sodium diet, you could have pots.
They are. I been having them 30+ years. their nick name is suicide migraines, cuz you know how painful they can be. I got prescribed this pill called sumatriptan. They are only pills that work.
I had one time. It felt like it was behind my left eye. I'm not joking the pain was so bad I was crying for almost 2 hours. I was literally about to head to the hospital because I'd never heard of cluster headaches before. Luckily it stopped but god that was one of the worst pains of my life.
Cluster headache/migranes really suck. For about 2 years I would get pain on the right side if my face starting with my back molar and up around ny eye. Just barely touching my face on the right side made it worse. For the longest time I thought it was tooth pain, cause swishing that side of my mouth with alcohol temporarily alieviated the pain. Long story short, I was triggering a closter head ache/migraines with my daily dise of air borne/cold-eze. 5 years later I have diacovered sports drinks, too much citrus drinks like orange juice and lemonade, along with kombucha are all triggers as well. I miss lemon water the most.
If you are triggered by citric acid, you may also be triggered by tomato's, dark chocolate, processed meats such as much meat, bacon, anything that contains nitrates, and wine. These are not cluster headaches as they cannot be "set off" they are migraine headaches as those can be set off atany time. I know because I have a horrible case. The list I gave you is a short list of foods to avoid found on the Mayo Clinic website (or was a few years ago) I like you miss orange juice alot but it is an instant trigger for me, as is cigarette smoke and certain tomato sauces. I make quite a bit of my own food so I know what is in it is ok for me and I have a good treatment plan, but migraines are not fun.
I got diagnosed with hereditary chronic migrains at 8 . Had em since as far back as 2nd grade. Shit sucks. Theyve slowed down over the years now that I'm close to 30.

Idk if this will help, but I tend to get those kinds of headaches when my eyes are strained for a while (eg. forgot to put on glasses, staring at a screen etc)
look more into migraine if you think you have them, treatment is possible. for me personally i was getting them as a reaction to my pollen allergies, i’d get visual auras and headaches on the right side of my head behind the eye, and throw up
Migraines can be caused by a variety of factors, such as stress, health issues, and lack of sleep. Getting the right treatment can make a huge difference in managing the symptoms and improving quality of life.
@@Bea-a-deer bruh they're literally called ice pick headaches ... Trust me it doesn't feel like an actual ice pick would 😅.. and how does everybody seem to know what an ice pick even is .. Its not like a common every day thing
I'll try this. I already take muscle relaxers every second night because I clench my jaw at night and then feel like a sumo wrestler is trying to squeeze my head with a belt until it pops. Tension headaches are the absolute worst. The muscle relaxers have given me immense relief though
Magnesium glycinate is absorbed better than oxide and get it from a health food store for purity not Walmart. If you have a sudden severe headache could be a stroke.
I quench my at night to sometimes I wake jaws swollen and have a terrible headache and feel awful. Broken som😅 teeth in the back to . I was told to wear a mouth/teeth guard like the athlete wears
Migraines are the freaking worst. I've had them since I was three, and I still have no idea why. The worst part of a migraine isnt the pain, which is crap at best. Nope, its the hangover afterward. That crap can last for days sometimes, especially if it was a really bad episode. Sometimes Ill end up with a week long tension headache just from having a migraine. I feel for people who deal with these little devil spells. They are a gd waking nightmare.
And knowing why doesn't really help if they can't DO something about it. Mine are caused by small vasculars. Great. So increased stroke chances. But seriously, get an MRI to rule out treatable causes!!
So I'm pretty sure mine are caused by compressed/eroded cervical discs. I've had spinal problems since my teens but I have tried putting off an operation for as long as possible as per the consultants advice. But when I went back recently as the pain is unbearable they told me they no longer do spinal fusions anymore and so now there is nothing that can be done. So I'm stuck with not only my back and neck issues but constant migraines 😭😂
There are migraines that are genetic, where you inherit certain genes from one or both of your parents. That is likely the cause in your case if your migraines started at 3 years old. My son also had his first migraine at 3, whereas my migraines started at puberty.
Like the previous post mine started around puberty too. Definitely have hormone-related one. But recently I noticed as I got older nitrates in food have seemed to cause these very specific reactions for about how long it takes to ingest food thru expelling it. Its very intense and no migraine meds touch it.
Thank you so much for making it so absolutely unclear if this doctor was agreeing with, or completely disagreeing with, and ridiculing all of this info! Classic tradition, and I expected nothing less!!!!!!!! Cheers! Yeah! Great! Dammit. Everything is over, ruined, done!

Yeah I used to get them a ton. Went from the back of my neck up and over and Into my eye. I guess they were stress related cause once I started klonopin they went away entirely
The first migraine I distinctly remember happening was when I was 6-7, and was diagnosed at 13. I have had them for a long time. The pain is located on one side of my head, but a great deal of it is concentrated onto one eye. As a kid I'd have to hold in tears to keep it from getting worse, because migraines are vicious. I'd always have the urge to rip out my own eye. They got better/less aggressive when I became homeschooled and less around stimuli. And now I'm on a medication that helps prevent them, and it's great being able to go into a grocery store and not leave with a high risk of being debilitated for hours.
I have the very same thing! And a very sharp pain in the back of my head occasionally too. No doctor ever helped or explained what it was and I was left in pain and wondering if I might die as it was so painful sometimes. Do you mind sharing the medication you're on so I could see if it might help me?
I get cluster headaches and migraines. I went to a doctor, who referred me to an ENT and an ophthalmologist, and an OBGYN who did some labs. And the consensus was “some people just get headaches”. I was never prescribed anything either. Yay, American healthcare.
@@dr.kennethspeers8014 they did not. Tylenol, a dark, quiet room, and an ice pack have been my go to. But I have a different GP now, they may have me try something new. Here’s hoping!
People think migraines are just headaches and i used to think so too But Its so much more complicated and you usually get several more side effects to accompany a migraine. My migraines make me go blind and confused beyond belief, i slur my speech and stutter way more than usual making my speech incomprehensible a lot of times.
Mine are full body sensory rejection. I always think of the headache part as an effect of all of that and not the cause. Can't they do the lobotomy like they do for epilepsy? I read something about a potential "similar cause."
My husband used to think I just couldn't handle pain, then he saw me have a baby with no epidural like a champ. Afterwards I said, I've had headaches that hurt worse. He finally understood...
Stetson, that's literally what I think. I get extreme headaches and my hands sometimes go numb and tingly. Vision blurs and I get all confused and angry. I am generally anxious anyway. Add those symptoms in and I'm convinced I'm stroking out😂
Ah ocular migraines. That's my Jam, too. Oddly enough, it causes auditory feedback (you hear music playing) commonly. I thought I was losing my mind. I only get them when I haven't had enough sleep over several days. Mostly avoidable now.
The only one I didn’t hear was sometimes those headaches in the back of your head can be related to your intestines. Dramamine may solve your headache before Tylenol will. Just a heads up.
Half the content was just BS though as the doctor was pointing out. The benefit you are receiving is likely psychosomatic. Headaches are generally responses to the muscles and nerves on the skull and the location is referred pain.
Not all of us migraine sufferers for that description. Mine starts around one or both eyes and sometimes will end up covering most of my head by the time it's full blown. Sometimes, it just stays in one eye. Other times it's just the visual distortion called auras that cause me to be super sick to my stomach.
Yes! So, in this context, the doctor is saying "Yes, that's true" or "No, that's a load of bull", basically. Took me a while to figure it out a few years ago, too. Haha. Some people use it in the sense of saying "No way!" or "Are you being for real/telling the truth?" For instance, you might say (in a fantasy scenario) "Woah! I just saw a white deer!" and your buddy could respond "No cap?"
As someone who occasionally gets cluster headaches and thank God its been happening less often as I have gotten older its far from just a headache behind one of your eyes.. It is literally such a crippling pain that moving your body can cause such a flair up of intense pain that is unimaginable.. Like I generally throw up from the pain it causes and the stress of my body tensing up to theow up causes the pain to flair up making it a vicious cycle.. And the worst thing is that a lot of people don't understand how debilitating it can be because its called a "headache". And while I also don't want to discredit the pain some people deal with but the overuse of the term migraine even doesn't help people that truly suffer from them. Because I really believe people confuse what an actual headache is with a migraine and don't understand how debilitating migraines can be as well. Its not a contest for who has it worst but its just a shame people sometimes view migraines as just a "bad headache" and not what it actually is. I really wouldn't wish a migraine let alone a cluster headache upon my worst enemies. The one silver lining I have at least found personally with cluster headaches is that I am much less sensitive to light or sound than some people with migraines can be its just the movement and crippling pain aspect that really make it so bad lol...
Obviously I don’t expect someone in the comments to have the answer to this question, but after seeing your post, it just makes me think about how I can’t tell if what I suffer from are cluster headaches or migraines. I’ve tried to look at articles online but the headaches I deal with are a combination of the symptoms of both. Stabbing pain (almost always behind my right eye), can last anywhere from a half hour to all day, can be accompanied by nausea if it gets really bad, doesn’t necessarily cause more discomfort to have the lights on but does feel better to close my eyes and lay down, doesn’t affect my vision, and is usually brought on from either being dehydrated or extremely stressed out. I’m starting to think I’m leaning more towards migraine, but I’ve had these for over a decade and still can’t figure it out. My doctor’s I’ve had are also not really much help
@@erint.1849 I never thought of that but I've been to the doctors a bunch and this has been a thing since I was 7 (I'm 18 now) and they don't really have a clear answer on what wrong except series but I'm starting a new medication that will hopefully work (and lady Gaga even takes it!)
I wouldn't say I get them every day... but usually one a week I will have some level of a headache. Some to the point of crying from how much they hurt. Those says I either call in sick or ask to leave early since work is too loud and too bright and even slight human interaction is too much for me... sorry to hear that you have it worse than that
Fun fact: some folks have painless migraines. There are a few different types, but I get what's called "Silent migraines". I have all of the fun side effects of a migraine, but no pain. It isn't fun, especially since mine come with severe disorientation and a gradual loss in my ability to clearly speak as the migraines worsens. There's also a type that can cause temporary blindness in one or both eyes, one that causes you to see severe distortions in your field of vision, one that causes partial paralysis, and one that can cause severe balance issues. So, yeah, a bit more than just a headache, lol. Migraines, even if they don't come with pain, can be severally debilitating and, in some cases, incredibly dangerous.
@@smylyfacemore than likely you have AM, or what's known as abdominal migraines. It's common in children but not really in adults, so you're a rare case. So yay? 😅
@@Cheepchipsable that's what I thought! But I'm an EMT and I did the Cincinnati stroke scale just fine. I went to urgent care and they were like, "Yep. Aura Migraine. Try to be less stressed. Next."
i have some news for you. having headaches more than 15 times a month for at least three months lasting at least two hours each means you have chronic migraines. if you saw a neurologist about it, the first thing they would do is have you try to find patterns for when they occur (like if you don’t sleep well the night before, where you are in your menstrual cycle, if you were under a higher than usual amount of stress, your diet, etc) which can help determine the cause and therefore give you a treatment that’ll actually help. obviously not all of your migraines will be caused by just one trigger but finding the underlying cause & eliminating it could also eliminate other triggers (for example, if your migraines occur most often while you are ovulating or close to ovulation bc you experience insomnia when you are ovulating, putting you on birth control would prevent you from ovulating so you wouldn’t be dealing with insomnia due to ovulation)
I was like that, once I had a migraine for 3 & 1/2 months. Now I get Botox injections in my head, neck and shoulders every 3 months and my migraines are down to once or twice a week. Not a complete cure but instead a huge decrease and relief.
@@misseselise3864Damm, I seemed to get migraines (most symptoms of migraines but went away after long sleep every time) almost everyday at school last year. It happened because I'm already sensitive to light and sound and my class was extremely loud and it was extremely bright. I thought it was something I just had to deal with and now I'm more sensitive then ever, thanks past self, I'm so grateful for you not caring about yourself. (I still get them fairly often but I now try to listen to my brain which means I usually can prevent it from being an actual migraine)
If you have cluster headaches you would probably know, they hurt more than the worst migraine you've ever had. Look up a video of someone having a cluster headache, or suicide headache as they're also called and some say it's considered to be the worst pain a human can go through.
Have you ever had pitosin for inducing child birth? Or gall bladder attacks? I have cluster headaches, I've had pitosin, I've had gall bladder attacks. They're all some of the worst pain, none is better or worse.
Not sure if I'd prefer just the unimaginable pain over my migraines which are pain + going blind (among other things like confusion and slurred speech) Not a fun thing when it catches me off guard outside and I can't find my way home or when i have to work.
I think I've had a really bad one before. I couldn't keep my eyes opened at one point and had to keep them closed and the moment I opened my eyes again, I got this immense pain and had to close my eyes so fast. I ended up falling asleep and felt fine once I woke up
I get everything she mentioned, and I have chronic migraines/headaches. I use them both interchangeably because neither matters if the pain is unbearable anyway.
I used to get a headache around the same time everyday. Turns out my eyes were making up for a slight far sightness and they were giving out by the end of the day
Yeah, far sightedness can screw you up. I had an eye doctor incorrectly tell me that my eyes were fine, which I did question because there was no way that my eyesight suddenly fixed itself entirely over the course of a year and a half, but he insisted and I was too broke for a second opinion, so I decided to trust the professional. Don't... do what I did. Constant headaches within a month, a noticeable worsening in my silent migraines (including visual migraines, which I'm not actually prone to, my eyes were just so stained that they started reacting with my migraines), and at the end of it, I lost muscular control of part of my left eye, it just stopped responding to input and I temporarily lost that vision. At that point, my mom finally pushed me to make an emergency appointment with a new eye doctor. I'm farsighted with an astigmatism, worse than it was before all of this. All of my symptoms were severe eye strain. I got new glasses, and most of my symptoms cleared up within a week. I'm still pretty mad at that first doctor.
@@transsnack That sounds very similar to my situation! My right eye was 3 clicks far sighted and my left eye was fine. So my brain stopped using the right eye unless forced to. Thus, I lost depth perception and I had a blind spot in sports. But since it started at such a young age, I did not know better. I was given glasses, but the glasses gave me double vision. So I never wore them. Fast forward to middle age, my left eye went 1 click far sighted and right eye went 4 clicks far sighted. My focal lenses were compensating to give my left eye 20/20 allowing me to live without glasses. But now that I'm at the early stages of a bifocal age, the focal lenses are finally calling it quits.
I've had daily migraines with varying degrees of pain and disability for almost 20 years. I refuse to call myself disabled, I refuse to give in- I'll always fight it because I have a family to take care of and a life to live even though it is frustrating and constantly painful and can be debilitating. I've had several surgeries- including several abdominal (which are reportedly some of the most painful) had 3 children, been through labor AND 3 c-sections, and I have to say that migraines are definitely the worst pain Ive ever had. Some of the most painful migraine headaches last for days at a time with the pain being the worst pain I can imagine. They often start at the base of my head ( cervical spine) and radiate up to usually my right temple, over to my eyes and deep into my head. This usually accompanies blurred or distorted ( everything looks slightly off-center, which is always good while driving, then someone has to come and pick me up) vision, often temporarily losing vision in one eye or both. The pain is electrical & stabbing as if the pain itself begins with a feeling in your head as something similar to the static you hear on a guitar monitor with that static & high pitched tone that is continuously being turned up until it's deafening- the pain being so intense that you throw up & any level of light or too much heat or cold is painful. Cold packs sometimes help but sometimes make it worse, heat is intolerable. Clothes or people touching your skin hurts, your face eyes and teeth hurt, you tremble and the pain feels as if it's vibrating through your head- like its so" loud" others should be able to "hear" or feel it just by standing nearby. It hurts to lay down, but you can't do anything but lie completely still with the pain rolling off you in waves. Crying makes it worse, but sometimes you cant take it anymore & end up sobbing while crawling to the bathroom to barf up whatever medicine you were hoping to keep down and obviously food and even drink are impossible. Pain medicine can dull it, but sometimes it ðź'does little. Im allergic to traditional migraine rescue medicine ( triptans) & NSAID's, so Im pretty limited to what I can take. You learn to live with people thinking you're lying when you have to call and cancel last minute- even if they know you are diagnosed with chronic pain- INCLUDING Secretaries at Dr.'s offices ( can't tell you how many Offices Ive been fired from because of their absence policies- mostly Dental ones) and losing friends because people think youre irresponsible or just dont care about keeping arrangements. It's a burden sometimes, its hard on families, & the pain can be horrific, but I always try to thank God I dont have anything worse than this- many people suffer far worse than with chronic pain, but I have to say it does TOTALLY suck:)
I've suffered from migraines my entire life. I have a family that needs me, and I, too, have to suck it up and deal, and I also don't respond well to 99% of medication for it. Personally, the best that they have come up with for me is an old-school psychiatric medication - Halperadol. It doesn't always work, but it works better than botox, any pain meds, or migraine medication. Sending you love, light and healing.
@akpopfamily907 Thank you so much😊 It's good to hear of others who understand- not that Id wish migraines on my worse enemy. l do see a neurologist & take low dosage anticonvulsants which do seem to help some with overall pain levels. If medical insurance pays for it, frequency for severe ones seems to also be helped by a monthly injectable called Ajovy which has no side effects & stops the activity of Calcitonin Gene Related Peptides ( CGRP) - proteins in the brain that cause inflammation & vasodilation. (My Grandmother had migraines from early childhood, as did I- that seems to also be a factor in migraine sufferers) I also hope you heal, and God Bless you & your beautiful family❤️
I have suffered from chronic migraines for over 30 years. They have put me on ALL kinds of meds to try and help and, believe it or not, the one thing that has helped the most is Botox. It’s a bit of work to get it approved but well worth it. I get them FAR less frequently now and if I do, I take a thc gummy and go to sleep. Helps immensely.
My husband gets cluster headaches and they are HORRIBLE!! NO DOCTOR HAS EVER BEEN ABLE TO HELP! It’s pure hell on earth. 😢💔 God help anyone who gets them!

@@mozangela migraine is not just a headache. It is typically on one side of your head, it can be a severe throbbing pain OR a pulsing sensation (I have the latter) and it's almost never by itself. Usually it's accompanied by other symptoms like nausea, vomiting, dizziness, extreme sensitivity to light and sound...
Been suffering from recurring migraines and cluster headaches. Exercise, acupuncture, and Migrelief has really saved me from so much anxiety. Sorry to see so many going through the same problems, hope we all see improvement in the future!
I went to see a doctor about my terrible headaches around my eye which debilitated me and sometimes moved to the back of my head to feel like someone was aggressively stabbing me. I saw 4 doctors. One said take paracetamol, these headaches started in 2019 and still happen, paracetamol is not for long term use. He should've known that. One made me get glasses, they didn't work because my eyes are completely fine. Another literally told me he didn't know and that was it. And the last was rude, called me a liar and said he didn't have time to talk to me because he had a conference call. So I gave up. If someone could please tell me why my headaches made me feel like I was likely to die in my sleep, why it ached so much I wanted to pull my eye and why that pain in the back of my head scared me to death, I'd really appreciate it. I still get the headaches, and my eye is still sensitive (I can feel it very faintly right now), but they're nowhere near as painful. I still want to know, because no one ever helped or explained or cared. I very much distrust doctors from so many experiences of my own and with my family now.
I used to get migraines all the time. Years of trying to find the cause. It was overstimulation & weather patterns. And I find general ache behind both eyes means lack of hydration. It’s not super painful, just uncomfortable. You also have sinuses inside your brain, not just by your nose, so you can get a sinus headache and it feel more like a generalized headache. Migraines can also occur in the gut.
I’ve had migraines since a kid and started getting cluster headaches last winter. Went to the ER to get it checked and found out I had hydrocephalus. Take care of yourselves
Just want to mention that my horrible headache is due to anemia, not high blood pressure as I feared. A good doctor figured it out, that's why he's my php.
A few years ago I noticed an unusual pattern of left-sided headaches. So I started keeping track of them. In the last five years I have had roughly 34 headaches, all but three of which were exclusively on the left side. My headaches also tend to be relatively mild.
Had silent migraines for 5 months I was going insane. Turns out I had sleep apnea and was clenching my jaw and grinding my teeth intensely every night and I was damaging my jawbone. A week with a mouth guard fixed all my migraines and finally ended my torture. CPAP machine comes in soon and heard it'll fix even more problems I have. Sleep is very important everyone. and linked to many other health issues.
I can teach you how to get rid of all headaches right quick. 1. Breathe till you get your breath stable 2. Empty your lungs, Act like your trying to stop yourself from peeing, squeeze, and hold. 3. Breath in air SLOWLY for 7 secs or slowly fill your lungs completely full of air, then hold your breath for 4-6 secs (squeeze your private muscles the whole time don't let go) 4. While holding your privates muscles, release most of the air 1st then let go of everything and just relax and breath. (You will feel your csf rush to your brain taking away your head ache) 5. Repeat this 4-5 times you will feel that this is what your brain needed to keep going and the head ache will leave. Extra tips. This is also used to calm anyone down, keep yourself from being to horny, regain control, and problem solving.
When I get a headache at the base of my head it means I haven’t gotten enough sleep/I need to go to bed. When I get a headache behind one eye it means I need to put down my phone and be in a dark room. It may not be true for me every one but this is what I’ve learned about me.
I was suffering from headaches and migraines. I learned that taking over the counter pain medication could make it worse if you consistently take. Muscle relaxants help but aren’t recommended for long term use. What I didn’t know was that most headaches are caused by a lack of magnesium, so I started taking a pinch of Celtic salt, which is high in magnesium. I let it dissolve on the tip of my tongue and started drinking electrolyte and alkaline water. Core,Body Armor and Essentia are my favorite brands to get and I’ve noticed I huge difference in my headaches and how often I get them.
Cluster headaches are the absolute worst. I get those. Don’t get any other headaches but those and wouldn’t wish them on anyone. The pain is unbelievable. I want to die just to get it to stop. There really are no words to describe the pain. Luckily they can recess and I might not get them for years but then they can come out of nowhere and I can have 1 to two a day but that’s 1-2 many. 1-2 a day for a month maybe 2. I really don’t know how to explain it’s unbearable pain so I won’t even try. Just be glad if you don’t get them!
I remember I used to have horrible migraines around 5th grade summer. The worst one was one that started horribly and didn’t let up for an entire week,go to sleep in pain and wake up with that same brain splitting pain
Medical massage therapist here! Around the eye can be tension from the SCM- that muscle that sticks out when you turn your head really far to the side. The topnof the head can be tension from the Splenius Capitus- runs along the spine inyour neck. Back of head is usually the small.muscles in your neck right under the skull, which gets a lot of tension when you are stressed or have bad pressure.
As someone who gets migraines and throws up from them at least once a year, it’s mostly around your head, eyebrows, eyes and face. A good way to tell is shaking your head to tell iff you have a migraine. If it hurts, then you probably do and should take meds before you start feeling dizzy or nauseous. Sorry for anyone who suffers with migraines 🥲
If you’re having a hard time sleeping and getting your mind to stop running, you can put a cold rag on your forehead. It cools down the prefrontal cortex which is believed to have increased temperature when it is active. I heard it on NPR. It always worked for me.

Sorry but eye pain is often a migraine, too. Especially if it feels like someone is stabbing you in the eyes with an icepick. You can also have no pain with a migraine, just visual distortions that mimic retinal detachment.
no an icepick headache is a completely different headache where it hurts in one specific spot badly. migraines blur/black your vison cause nausea speech problems and more. they usually hurt one only one side
Does it feel like your getting your eyes popped out with a spoon?
No, I have had migraines since I was a teenager and migraines where it feels like someone is stabbing you in the eyeballs are common. You wind up hiding in bed under the covers. Just ask my son who has had migraines since he was 5 years old.

I used to get everything she mentioned when I worked for USPS. Will be 50 this year & no more sumatriptan for me! Environment is everything. Jobs can physically make you Ill.
Amen! I worked 21 years at a company where I stood in one place all the time. I had to hear EVERYBODYS problems. I made good money. The co. sold out one day and gave me a 4 day notice. I lost my house 2 months ago.
I wish I didn’t still need mine. But my insomnia keeps em coming
yes, it absolutely can. I worked at a deli and took on way too much responsibility for what it was worth. couldn't even afford to see the doctor for what I worked for
So true! I used to have panic attacks on my way to work because my job was stressing me out so bad. They were quick to want to discipline me due to being late from said attacks instead of addressing my complaints for them to split my unrealistic work load. I walked out.
I would love to send a thousand kisses to whoever invented sumatriptan and TPI injections cause I've been getting them since I was 25
There's a lot of symptoms that go with a migraine. Severe pain, light sensitivity, nausea, vomiting and it can take up to 3 to 5 days for it to go away without medication.
When you have a migraine you cannot function normally or think clearly.
There are many things that can cause migraine symptoms.
I used to get migraines a lot.
I have insomnia, I had female issues, there were times that I was under a lot of stress. Then, I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes. Once I got my blood sugar levels under control and on the right meds, the migraines stopped.
I'm very happy now. 😁😎👍🏼
Also orbital migraines that don’t have
pain but can temporarily impair vision
Yesss there are so many kinds of migraines and symptoms alone you can't narrow down like this let alone every other kind of headache too.

I have migraine headaches and was told after an MRI that I had sinusitis. I kid you not, I looked the doctor right in the eye with a dirty look and told him "If you had bothered to look at my medical history you would see I've had sinusitis for over 20 years but these migraines have only been happening for the last eight!" It was a general practitioner, not a neurologist. I finally convinced a different PCP to get me in with a neurologist. Sometimes my migraines are from lack of sleep, sleeping on my hair (it's down to my waist), not remembering to take my hair down before bed and the bun/ponytail puts pressure on the occipital nerves, putting my hair up in a bun when wet (wet hair shrinks as it dries), ect. They only occur in one spot at a time, and the spot is different every time. I'm thankful I'm on a medication that works within an hour so I can function and go about my day. I've only had migraines that were so bad that I threw up. Had one once that caused me to scream in pain and, crazy as it sounds, it both helped with the pain and made it worse at the same time. Haven't had one of those in years thankfully.
Great job advocating for yourself!
What med works for you?
@@tchrisou812 Amitryptiline 50mg dosage. Works great for migraines, nerve pain, anxiety and depression
I take Sumatriptan which is generic Imitrex. I take one and the migraine is gone in less than an hour. I used to take Relpax but my insurance stopped wanting to pay for it due to higher cost. But it worked a little better than Sumatriptan. Rarely I have to take 2 sumatriptan pills.
I have an unknown variant of "terminal" CF since birth, and I get allot of sinus issues. DRs ignored it for years, and it was getting increasingly difficult to speak without a weird tongue and jaw twich. I finally had a seizure and supposedly suffocated/died while still standing. And once they resuscitated me, they finally put me on an MRI. They found a huge abcess on the speech part of my brain. It came up from a nose infection into my brain, and almost took up half of my brain. They drained the abcess, which left a huge hole in my brain/head, and i had to learn to communicate again, as if i was a 1 yr old.. im still on anti seizures.. It's still crazy that no hospital or doctor found it for years despite its obvious severity and appearance in my throat. I told them for about 5 years, and they always said i was fine. I would say "always get a 2nd opinion", but in my case, it has been an 8th opinion with each one of my sicknesses xD I had to travel for allot of them. be careful people. Be stern. Know your body. And stay strong everyone! I litterally had to die for them to take it seriously, and I ended up damaged for life. So be sure to speak up and change docs if you have to
I had a brain tumor 21 years ago from becoming pregnant. It was removed but headaches have consumed my life, usually on one side from my eye socket to my ear and the top left side of my head.

That happened to me like two weeks ago and i was absolutely miserable
I had one time. It felt like it was behind my left eye. I'm not joking the pain was so bad I was crying for almost 2 hours. I was literally about to head to the hospital because I'd never heard of cluster headaches before. Luckily it stopped but god that was one of the worst pains of my life.
Cluster headache/migranes really suck. For about 2 years I would get pain on the right side if my face starting with my back molar and up around ny eye. Just barely touching my face on the right side made it worse.
For the longest time I thought it was tooth pain, cause swishing that side of my mouth with alcohol temporarily alieviated the pain.
Long story short, I was triggering a closter head ache/migraines with my daily dise of air borne/cold-eze. 5 years later I have diacovered sports drinks, too much citrus drinks like orange juice and lemonade, along with kombucha are all triggers as well.
I miss lemon water the most.
If you are triggered by citric acid, you may also be triggered by tomato's, dark chocolate, processed meats such as much meat, bacon, anything that contains nitrates, and wine. These are not cluster headaches as they cannot be "set off" they are migraine headaches as those can be set off atany time. I know because I have a horrible case. The list I gave you is a short list of foods to avoid found on the Mayo Clinic website (or was a few years ago) I like you miss orange juice alot but it is an instant trigger for me, as is cigarette smoke and certain tomato sauces. I make quite a bit of my own food so I know what is in it is ok for me and I have a good treatment plan, but migraines are not fun.
It is histamine intolarance.
For the last 4 years, I've had to deal with clusters, my god, I wouldn't wish these on anybody.

Migraines are the freaking worst. I've had them since I was three, and I still have no idea why. The worst part of a migraine isnt the pain, which is crap at best. Nope, its the hangover afterward. That crap can last for days sometimes, especially if it was a really bad episode. Sometimes Ill end up with a week long tension headache just from having a migraine. I feel for people who deal with these little devil spells. They are a gd waking nightmare.
And knowing why doesn't really help if they can't DO something about it. Mine are caused by small vasculars. Great. So increased stroke chances. But seriously, get an MRI to rule out treatable causes!!
So I'm pretty sure mine are caused by compressed/eroded cervical discs. I've had spinal problems since my teens but I have tried putting off an operation for as long as possible as per the consultants advice. But when I went back recently as the pain is unbearable they told me they no longer do spinal fusions anymore and so now there is nothing that can be done. So I'm stuck with not only my back and neck issues but constant migraines 😭😂
Yes!!! The hang overs.... I swear the hangovers are worse than the migraine.
There are migraines that are genetic, where you inherit certain genes from one or both of your parents. That is likely the cause in your case if your migraines started at 3 years old. My son also had his first migraine at 3, whereas my migraines started at puberty.
Like the previous post mine started around puberty too. Definitely have hormone-related one. But recently I noticed as I got older nitrates in food have seemed to cause these very specific reactions for about how long it takes to ingest food thru expelling it. Its very intense and no migraine meds touch it.
Thank you so much for making it so absolutely unclear if this doctor was agreeing with, or completely disagreeing with, and ridiculing all of this info! Classic tradition, and I expected nothing less!!!!!!!! Cheers! Yeah! Great! Dammit. Everything is over, ruined, done!

My chronic migraines giving me all of that and more ✨
The first migraine I distinctly remember happening was when I was 6-7, and was diagnosed at 13. I have had them for a long time. The pain is located on one side of my head, but a great deal of it is concentrated onto one eye. As a kid I'd have to hold in tears to keep it from getting worse, because migraines are vicious. I'd always have the urge to rip out my own eye.
They got better/less aggressive when I became homeschooled and less around stimuli. And now I'm on a medication that helps prevent them, and it's great being able to go into a grocery store and not leave with a high risk of being debilitated for hours.
I have the very same thing! And a very sharp pain in the back of my head occasionally too. No doctor ever helped or explained what it was and I was left in pain and wondering if I might die as it was so painful sometimes. Do you mind sharing the medication you're on so I could see if it might help me?
I get cluster headaches and migraines. I went to a doctor, who referred me to an ENT and an ophthalmologist, and an OBGYN who did some labs. And the consensus was “some people just get headaches”. I was never prescribed anything either. Yay, American healthcare.
Well, you’re a woman so that explains that

People think migraines are just headaches and i used to think so too
But
Its so much more complicated and you usually get several more side effects to accompany a migraine.
My migraines make me go blind and confused beyond belief, i slur my speech and stutter way more than usual making my speech incomprehensible a lot of times.
Mine are full body sensory rejection. I always think of the headache part as an effect of all of that and not the cause. Can't they do the lobotomy like they do for epilepsy? I read something about a potential "similar cause."
the good old "Is this another migraine, or am I finally having a stroke?"
My husband used to think I just couldn't handle pain, then he saw me have a baby with no epidural like a champ. Afterwards I said, I've had headaches that hurt worse. He finally understood...
Stetson, that's literally what I think. I get extreme headaches and my hands sometimes go numb and tingly. Vision blurs and I get all confused and angry. I am generally anxious anyway. Add those symptoms in and I'm convinced I'm stroking out😂
Ah ocular migraines. That's my Jam, too. Oddly enough, it causes auditory feedback (you hear music playing) commonly. I thought I was losing my mind. I only get them when I haven't had enough sleep over several days. Mostly avoidable now.
The only one I didn’t hear was sometimes those headaches in the back of your head can be related to your intestines. Dramamine may solve your headache before Tylenol will. Just a heads up.
Yes . Allergic reaction to histamine in foods gave me some serious headaches at back of head. Thank God for internet. Dr useless
Dramamine nocks you out though
@@seaglassmomma4040 I’ll take a little drowsiness over slamming painkillers every time my intestines don’t like what they're digesting.
Sure
Half the content was just BS though as the doctor was pointing out. The benefit you are receiving is likely psychosomatic. Headaches are generally responses to the muscles and nerves on the skull and the location is referred pain.
As someone who experienced an ocular migraine once, I would not wish that upon my worst enemy - I’ve never experienced a headache so debilitating
As a person with mingrines this is very true and since I’m a insomniac it’s very hard to calm myself down with these.
Not all of us migraine sufferers for that description. Mine starts around one or both eyes and sometimes will end up covering most of my head by the time it's full blown. Sometimes, it just stays in one eye. Other times it's just the visual distortion called auras that cause me to be super sick to my stomach.
Im sorry u have to deal with mingrines
That sucks, especially when a lot of times, the medicine is just sleeping out of it
I get migraines often, and they always start as a forehead kind of headache with severe light sensitivity. Usually followed by a day or two of vertigo

@@FetusWithBlasteetus I DON'T UNDERSTAND 😭🤣
@@puppetcshow okay cool, the internet is so weird lol
Yes! So, in this context, the doctor is saying "Yes, that's true" or "No, that's a load of bull", basically. Took me a while to figure it out a few years ago, too. Haha.
Some people use it in the sense of saying "No way!" or "Are you being for real/telling the truth?"
For instance, you might say (in a fantasy scenario) "Woah! I just saw a white deer!" and your buddy could respond "No cap?"
As someone who occasionally gets cluster headaches and thank God its been happening less often as I have gotten older its far from just a headache behind one of your eyes.. It is literally such a crippling pain that moving your body can cause such a flair up of intense pain that is unimaginable.. Like I generally throw up from the pain it causes and the stress of my body tensing up to theow up causes the pain to flair up making it a vicious cycle.. And the worst thing is that a lot of people don't understand how debilitating it can be because its called a "headache". And while I also don't want to discredit the pain some people deal with but the overuse of the term migraine even doesn't help people that truly suffer from them. Because I really believe people confuse what an actual headache is with a migraine and don't understand how debilitating migraines can be as well. Its not a contest for who has it worst but its just a shame people sometimes view migraines as just a "bad headache" and not what it actually is. I really wouldn't wish a migraine let alone a cluster headache upon my worst enemies. The one silver lining I have at least found personally with cluster headaches is that I am much less sensitive to light or sound than some people with migraines can be its just the movement and crippling pain aspect that really make it so bad lol...
Obviously I don’t expect someone in the comments to have the answer to this question, but after seeing your post, it just makes me think about how I can’t tell if what I suffer from are cluster headaches or migraines.
I’ve tried to look at articles online but the headaches I deal with are a combination of the symptoms of both. Stabbing pain (almost always behind my right eye), can last anywhere from a half hour to all day, can be accompanied by nausea if it gets really bad, doesn’t necessarily cause more discomfort to have the lights on but does feel better to close my eyes and lay down, doesn’t affect my vision, and is usually brought on from either being dehydrated or extremely stressed out. I’m starting to think I’m leaning more towards migraine, but I’ve had these for over a decade and still can’t figure it out. My doctor’s I’ve had are also not really much help

@@erint.1849 I'd agree. Rainbowpuppet should try an elmination diet and see if they reduce the amount of headaches they get.
I wouldn't say I get them every day... but usually one a week I will have some level of a headache. Some to the point of crying from how much they hurt. Those says I either call in sick or ask to leave early since work is too loud and too bright and even slight human interaction is too much for me... sorry to hear that you have it worse than that
Migraine is not just a headache!
It is
Fun fact: some folks have painless migraines. There are a few different types, but I get what's called "Silent migraines". I have all of the fun side effects of a migraine, but no pain. It isn't fun, especially since mine come with severe disorientation and a gradual loss in my ability to clearly speak as the migraines worsens.
There's also a type that can cause temporary blindness in one or both eyes, one that causes you to see severe distortions in your field of vision, one that causes partial paralysis, and one that can cause severe balance issues.
So, yeah, a bit more than just a headache, lol. Migraines, even if they don't come with pain, can be severally debilitating and, in some cases, incredibly dangerous.
I had a migraine in my stomach once. I didn't know that was even possible. I honestly thought I was going to die.
@@smylyfacemore than likely you have AM, or what's known as abdominal migraines. It's common in children but not really in adults, so you're a rare case. So yay? 😅
@@transsnack Waaw I didn't know it was that broad.
She forgot to mention silent migraines. Which for me includes, no pain, feeling unbalanced/dizzy and nauseated.
Sometimes I see a light and forget how to speak English. It's a migraine. No pain.
@@Kate-rv6kx Sound more like a stroke TBH.
@@Cheepchipsable that's what I thought! But I'm an EMT and I did the Cincinnati stroke scale just fine. I went to urgent care and they were like, "Yep. Aura Migraine. Try to be less stressed. Next."
That actually sounds like an ear infection. Vertigo can be a symptom of ear issues: since balance is inner ear.
Vestibular migraines
Helpful. Kinda knew the main ones that i have, but now confident of the name and source.
I'm putting this in my Liked folder for reference! This is so succinct I look forward to relieving my array of head pains! Thanks for making this.
Did you miss that half of it was cap?
Yeah don’t believe everything you hear on the internet
The doctor said most info is not true
I get headaches like almost every day. Man it sucks to know it’s the full spectrum on randomization
i have some news for you. having headaches more than 15 times a month for at least three months lasting at least two hours each means you have chronic migraines. if you saw a neurologist about it, the first thing they would do is have you try to find patterns for when they occur (like if you don’t sleep well the night before, where you are in your menstrual cycle, if you were under a higher than usual amount of stress, your diet, etc) which can help determine the cause and therefore give you a treatment that’ll actually help. obviously not all of your migraines will be caused by just one trigger but finding the underlying cause & eliminating it could also eliminate other triggers (for example, if your migraines occur most often while you are ovulating or close to ovulation bc you experience insomnia when you are ovulating, putting you on birth control would prevent you from ovulating so you wouldn’t be dealing with insomnia due to ovulation)
I was like that, once I had a migraine for 3 & 1/2 months. Now I get Botox injections in my head, neck and shoulders every 3 months and my migraines are down to once or twice a week.
Not a complete cure but instead a huge decrease and relief.
Drink.more water no joke!
@@tjingtjongbil7694this, drink god damm water people, and cut out sugary drinks.
@@misseselise3864Damm, I seemed to get migraines (most symptoms of migraines but went away after long sleep every time) almost everyday at school last year. It happened because I'm already sensitive to light and sound and my class was extremely loud and it was extremely bright. I thought it was something I just had to deal with and now I'm more sensitive then ever, thanks past self, I'm so grateful for you not caring about yourself. (I still get them fairly often but I now try to listen to my brain which means I usually can prevent it from being an actual migraine)
If you have cluster headaches you would probably know, they hurt more than the worst migraine you've ever had. Look up a video of someone having a cluster headache, or suicide headache as they're also called and some say it's considered to be the worst pain a human can go through.
Have you ever had pitosin for inducing child birth? Or gall bladder attacks? I have cluster headaches, I've had pitosin, I've had gall bladder attacks. They're all some of the worst pain, none is better or worse.
Not sure if I'd prefer just the unimaginable pain over my migraines which are pain + going blind (among other things like confusion and slurred speech)
Not a fun thing when it catches me off guard outside and I can't find my way home or when i have to work.
Its not the worst pain. I would rather have a cluster headache than get stabbed or something. They suck though
I think I've had a really bad one before. I couldn't keep my eyes opened at one point and had to keep them closed and the moment I opened my eyes again, I got this immense pain and had to close my eyes so fast. I ended up falling asleep and felt fine once I woke up
You are so right
Doctor with the "cap" cap is making me lose it
Wow! Spot on about headaches in only a few seconds!
Did you miss the part where the Doctor told you?Three of them were lies
When he puts the cap ON.. it's not true
😂😂😂😂
Not really
@DreaJ3551 What do you mean? He put "Not cap" which means "that's true" .
Thanks doc for your insightful contribution
😁
Not me having a cluster headache rn💀
I get everything she mentioned, and I have chronic migraines/headaches. I use them both interchangeably because neither matters if the pain is unbearable anyway.
I get offended when people refer to my migraines as “headaches” I’m usually too miserable to be downplayed like that 😂😂😂
I needed to hear this. Thank you!
I used to get a headache around the same time everyday.
Turns out my eyes were making up for a slight far sightness and they were giving out by the end of the day
Yeah, far sightedness can screw you up. I had an eye doctor incorrectly tell me that my eyes were fine, which I did question because there was no way that my eyesight suddenly fixed itself entirely over the course of a year and a half, but he insisted and I was too broke for a second opinion, so I decided to trust the professional. Don't... do what I did. Constant headaches within a month, a noticeable worsening in my silent migraines (including visual migraines, which I'm not actually prone to, my eyes were just so stained that they started reacting with my migraines), and at the end of it, I lost muscular control of part of my left eye, it just stopped responding to input and I temporarily lost that vision. At that point, my mom finally pushed me to make an emergency appointment with a new eye doctor. I'm farsighted with an astigmatism, worse than it was before all of this. All of my symptoms were severe eye strain. I got new glasses, and most of my symptoms cleared up within a week. I'm still pretty mad at that first doctor.
@@transsnack That sounds very similar to my situation!
My right eye was 3 clicks far sighted and my left eye was fine. So my brain stopped using the right eye unless forced to. Thus, I lost depth perception and I had a blind spot in sports.
But since it started at such a young age, I did not know better. I was given glasses, but the glasses gave me double vision. So I never wore them.
Fast forward to middle age, my left eye went 1 click far sighted and right eye went 4 clicks far sighted.
My focal lenses were compensating to give my left eye 20/20 allowing me to live without glasses. But now that I'm at the early stages of a bifocal age, the focal lenses are finally calling it quits.
I've had daily migraines with varying degrees of pain and disability for almost 20 years. I refuse to call myself disabled, I refuse to give in- I'll always fight it because I have a family to take care of and a life to live even though it is frustrating and constantly painful and can be debilitating. I've had several surgeries- including several abdominal (which are reportedly some of the most painful) had 3 children, been through labor AND 3 c-sections, and I have to say that migraines are definitely the worst pain Ive ever had. Some of the most painful migraine headaches last for days at a time with the pain being the worst pain I can imagine. They often start at the base of my head ( cervical spine) and radiate up to usually my right temple, over to my eyes and deep into my head. This usually accompanies blurred or distorted ( everything looks slightly off-center, which is always good while driving, then someone has to come and pick me up) vision, often temporarily losing vision in one eye or both. The pain is electrical & stabbing as if the pain itself begins with a feeling in your head as something similar to the static you hear on a guitar monitor with that static & high pitched tone that is continuously being turned up until it's deafening- the pain being so intense that you throw up & any level of light or too much heat or cold is painful. Cold packs sometimes help but sometimes make it worse, heat is intolerable. Clothes or people touching your skin hurts, your face eyes and teeth hurt, you tremble and the pain feels as if it's vibrating through your head- like its so" loud" others should be able to "hear" or feel it just by standing nearby. It hurts to lay down, but you can't do anything but lie completely still with the pain rolling off you in waves. Crying makes it worse, but sometimes you cant take it anymore & end up sobbing while crawling to the bathroom to barf up whatever medicine you were hoping to keep down and obviously food and even drink are impossible. Pain medicine can dull it, but sometimes it ðź'does little. Im allergic to traditional migraine rescue medicine ( triptans) & NSAID's, so Im pretty limited to what I can take. You learn to live with people thinking you're lying when you have to call and cancel last minute- even if they know you are diagnosed with chronic pain- INCLUDING Secretaries at Dr.'s offices ( can't tell you how many Offices Ive been fired from because of their absence policies- mostly Dental ones) and losing friends because people think youre irresponsible or just dont care about keeping arrangements. It's a burden sometimes, its hard on families, & the pain can be horrific, but I always try to thank God I dont have anything worse than this- many people suffer far worse than with chronic pain, but I have to say it does TOTALLY suck:)
I've suffered from migraines my entire life. I have a family that needs me, and I, too, have to suck it up and deal, and I also don't respond well to 99% of medication for it. Personally, the best that they have come up with for me is an old-school psychiatric medication - Halperadol. It doesn't always work, but it works better than botox, any pain meds, or migraine medication. Sending you love, light and healing.
@akpopfamily907 Thank you so much😊 It's good to hear of others who understand- not that Id wish migraines on my worse enemy. l do see a neurologist & take low dosage anticonvulsants which do seem to help some with overall pain levels. If medical insurance pays for it, frequency for severe ones seems to also be helped by a monthly injectable called Ajovy which has no side effects & stops the activity of Calcitonin Gene Related Peptides ( CGRP) - proteins in the brain that cause inflammation & vasodilation. (My Grandmother had migraines from early childhood, as did I- that seems to also be a factor in migraine sufferers)
I also hope you heal, and God Bless you & your beautiful family❤️
I have suffered from chronic migraines for over 30 years. They have put me on ALL kinds of meds to try and help and, believe it or not, the one thing that has helped the most is Botox. It’s a bit of work to get it approved but well worth it. I get them FAR less frequently now and if I do, I take a thc gummy and go to sleep. Helps immensely.
My husband gets cluster headaches and they are HORRIBLE!! NO DOCTOR HAS EVER BEEN ABLE TO HELP! It’s pure hell on earth. 😢💔 God help anyone who gets them!
35% accurate. Better than most news sites these days tbh.
Also, he said cap to all of the reasons she said give you each type of pain. Soooo what does each pain mean?
Right now my whole head hurts from listening to you😂
Not 🧢
The switching from true and false is very overwhelming. It’s giving me a headache
Jayus gives me a headache
When I was a kid, I remember getting a shooting pain that would start in my chest, go up my shoulder, up my neck and into my head through my temple. WTF is that
That must have really sucked.you probably needed to be adjusted by chiropractor
As someone with migraines, nonsense
Can you explain? I was told I suffer from migraines as well. So I’m a little confused. Possibly I’m not really suffering from a migraine?
@@mozangela migraine is not just a headache. It is typically on one side of your head, it can be a severe throbbing pain OR a pulsing sensation (I have the latter) and it's almost never by itself. Usually it's accompanied by other symptoms like nausea, vomiting, dizziness, extreme sensitivity to light and sound...
OMG... a useful short! Thank you!
That explains why my eye hurts whn playing gorilla tag for 2 hours straight...
So informative Thanks🤗
Bruh no way, I’ve had all these at the same time for the past week. According to Webmd, I’m already dead
I had a nasty migraine yesterday, I thought I was going to pass out. The pain is real!
Been suffering from recurring migraines and cluster headaches. Exercise, acupuncture, and Migrelief has really saved me from so much anxiety. Sorry to see so many going through the same problems, hope we all see improvement in the future!
the cap at the end killed me
This chick has done her in-depth reaserch on the areas of the brain
This is very creative, informative and funny😂
I didn't have a headache but the way she talks is starting to give me one
Great. Mine are in my eye, on one side, and at the back of my head. I have lesions in my brain and constant migraines post Vax.
I went to see a doctor about my terrible headaches around my eye which debilitated me and sometimes moved to the back of my head to feel like someone was aggressively stabbing me. I saw 4 doctors. One said take paracetamol, these headaches started in 2019 and still happen, paracetamol is not for long term use. He should've known that. One made me get glasses, they didn't work because my eyes are completely fine. Another literally told me he didn't know and that was it. And the last was rude, called me a liar and said he didn't have time to talk to me because he had a conference call. So I gave up.
If someone could please tell me why my headaches made me feel like I was likely to die in my sleep, why it ached so much I wanted to pull my eye and why that pain in the back of my head scared me to death, I'd really appreciate it. I still get the headaches, and my eye is still sensitive (I can feel it very faintly right now), but they're nowhere near as painful. I still want to know, because no one ever helped or explained or cared. I very much distrust doctors from so many experiences of my own and with my family now.
I used to get migraines all the time. Years of trying to find the cause. It was overstimulation & weather patterns.
And I find general ache behind both eyes means lack of hydration. It’s not super painful, just uncomfortable. You also have sinuses inside your brain, not just by your nose, so you can get a sinus headache and it feel more like a generalized headache.
Migraines can also occur in the gut.
Can we see your version of this with the “correct” meanings please?🙏
correct meaning: "If you have a headache, you have a headache. If it's concerning you - go see a doctor instead of self-diagnosing it".
Not me getting this after 2 hours of headache pain at 12 am on a sunday, just to figure out i need to get off my phone
Stayed up until 3am last night and had a massive headache, good to know.
I never really get headaches. I just feel happy or depressed. There’s no in between lol
You're lucky
So nice when you go to the doctor for cluster headaches and they are like “Lmao sorry bro, We don’t really know how to stop it”
Makes me so happy.
I’ve had migraines since a kid and started getting cluster headaches last winter. Went to the ER to get it checked and found out I had hydrocephalus. Take care of yourselves
Just want to mention that my horrible headache is due to anemia, not high blood pressure as I feared. A good doctor figured it out, that's why he's my php.
A few years ago I noticed an unusual pattern of left-sided headaches. So I started keeping track of them. In the last five years I have had roughly 34 headaches, all but three of which were exclusively on the left side. My headaches also tend to be relatively mild.
wow, this guys reaction is just... amazing. contributed a lot to the video.
I get a lot of headaches mostly from not wearing glasses when I’m staying to focussed
Had silent migraines for 5 months I was going insane. Turns out I had sleep apnea and was clenching my jaw and grinding my teeth intensely every night and I was damaging my jawbone. A week with a mouth guard fixed all my migraines and finally ended my torture. CPAP machine comes in soon and heard it'll fix even more problems I have. Sleep is very important everyone. and linked to many other health issues.
I can teach you how to get rid of all headaches right quick.
1. Breathe till you get your breath stable
2. Empty your lungs, Act like your trying to stop yourself from peeing, squeeze, and hold.
3. Breath in air SLOWLY for 7 secs or slowly fill your lungs completely full of air, then hold your breath for 4-6 secs (squeeze your private muscles the whole time don't let go)
4. While holding your privates muscles, release most of the air 1st then let go of everything and just relax and breath. (You will feel your csf rush to your brain taking away your head ache)
5. Repeat this 4-5 times you will feel that this is what your brain needed to keep going and the head ache will leave.
Extra tips. This is also used to calm anyone down, keep yourself from being to horny, regain control, and problem solving.
Everything stresses me out…i get these headaches behind my head alot…
The headache sleep one is absolutely true.
I love everything the guy on the left adds to this video
😃🧢
When I get a headache at the base of my head it means I haven’t gotten enough sleep/I need to go to bed. When I get a headache behind one eye it means I need to put down my phone and be in a dark room. It may not be true for me every one but this is what I’ve learned about me.
Listening to that for very long would definitely give me a headache.
I was suffering from headaches and migraines. I learned that taking over the counter pain medication could make it worse if you consistently take. Muscle relaxants help but aren’t recommended for long term use. What I didn’t know was that most headaches are caused by a lack of magnesium, so I started taking a pinch of Celtic salt, which is high in magnesium. I let it dissolve on the tip of my tongue and started drinking electrolyte and alkaline water. Core,Body Armor and Essentia are my favorite brands to get and I’ve noticed I huge difference in my headaches and how often I get them.
Cluster headaches are the absolute worst. I get those. Don’t get any other headaches but those and wouldn’t wish them on anyone. The pain is unbelievable. I want to die just to get it to stop.
There really are no words to describe the pain.
Luckily they can recess and I might not get them for years but then they can come out of nowhere and I can have 1 to two a day but that’s 1-2 many.
1-2 a day for a month maybe 2.
I really don’t know how to explain it’s unbearable pain so I won’t even try.
Just be glad if you don’t get them!
The day I listen to anything Jayus says….. is not anytime soon.
As someone who doesn't get headaches, I'm happy
I've been getting cluster headaches for years, I thought that's just what a normal headache was
Thanks for the insight doc
I remember I used to have horrible migraines around 5th grade summer. The worst one was one that started horribly and didn’t let up for an entire week,go to sleep in pain and wake up with that same brain splitting pain
This was really helpful thanks 👍
Medical massage therapist here! Around the eye can be tension from the SCM- that muscle that sticks out when you turn your head really far to the side. The topnof the head can be tension from the Splenius Capitus- runs along the spine inyour neck. Back of head is usually the small.muscles in your neck right under the skull, which gets a lot of tension when you are stressed or have bad pressure.
As someone who gets migraines and throws up from them at least once a year, it’s mostly around your head, eyebrows, eyes and face. A good way to tell is shaking your head to tell iff you have a migraine. If it hurts, then you probably do and should take meds before you start feeling dizzy or nauseous.
Sorry for anyone who suffers with migraines 🥲
If you’re having a hard time sleeping and getting your mind to stop running, you can put a cold rag on your forehead. It cools down the prefrontal cortex which is believed to have increased temperature when it is active. I heard it on NPR. It always worked for me.
