I have a headache/migrane that won't go away and i've tried usual stuff but no help. I need some suggestions prehaps I haven't tried. I checked my GP is unavailible til Sat and Walkin is closed til 19th.
I hate the local !@#! hospital they don't know how to treat an obese person like a human being.

I just called the local # where you can talk to a Reg nurse. Says try a cool cloth on forehead and lie down quietly!!!!! As if I haven't been doing that. UGH!!! 

My BP is close to normal considering how I feel, Blood sugar normal range

Are you sick to your stomach? Could it be an allergy headache? If so try an antihistamine. Could it be a sinus headache? Try a decongestant. Could it be a stress headache?  Try a warm bath or deep breathing, filling your belly (Below the waist should move, not just the chest)

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your headache. I’ve been a “Migraineur" for many many many years. Let me first tell you that the chances of killing it before its run its course are slim to none.

 

The only exception would be by taking two extra strength Advil migraines (the dark blue bottle) at your very first symptom (which by the way, the bottle states you shouldn’t take 2 at once but I do anyway because it works and when you have a migraine, you don’t care if it kills you, you just want the pain to stop) or maybe an Imitrex (but that never works for me)

 

You are able to make your migraine more pleasant until it’s gone by:

 

§         Pulling your hair in a tight pony tail

§         Eating fruit or drinking fruit juice (no sugar)

§         Avoid Sugar, Caffeine, chocolate or alcohol (if you’re like me, consuming these foods will increase your migraine and make it 20 times worst)

§         Place a cold face cloth on your face or a magic bag that’s been in the freezer

§         Sleep as much as you can

§         Turn off the lights

§         Lay down and stay still

 

If your migraine is completely agonizing to the point where you are hitting your head against a wall, go to the Hospital Emergency room. I had to go once for one of mine. I had my migraine for 4 days straight and it was completely unbearable. They stuck an IV in my arm and gave me something and it went away instantly.

 

Stay strong :)
