And along with the headache I can't see out of the corner of my eye because it's all white like someones shining a really bright light. I usually take about 3 ibuprofen or so and it usually goes away about an hour later or so. Is that normal for a headache or migraine? (I don't really like to use the word migraine because I don't want to overexagerate if it's just a headache) I’m 16 years old and for the past month I’ve been getting these horrible headaches right in my left temple.

I have been suffering from migraine headache since childhood. I have experienced at least 3 times this year (2012) and the reason for my migraine headache is nothing but the cool stuff, whenever I have cold items- even a little amount that results in migraine immediately or the next day and it lasts 15 to 20 minutes. Another reason is the climate change, when winter comes I will get affected often due to chillness affect. Also when I touch cold things. All i have furnished here is true as i have experienced in my life so far and still. I am working in office which is air conditioned. when it comes to know some changes in my vision I'll confirm the later headache then the rest of the day would be in a mess, I couldn't do anything there after but the only plan to go home. At the same time the vomiting sensation is the worst thing that I hate. I don't know how to stop the effect of migraine headache though am going to gym and active all the time. I always aware in all situations to face migraine head ache. But I never tried yoga or meditation, I suppose It may cure. I rarely eat cold things nowadays and get protected myself from the Zig Zag, kaleidoscope matters what the doctors call as migraine headache. Has anyone faced like me kindly post.

I now weigh about 260... I play basketball 1 to 2 times a week so consistently.. I get these less now that I've changed my eating habits.... it seems. I started a running routine recently and dropped some weight. I thought I was done with these until the other night during basketball. same old symptoms, tiny hint of kelidascope vision that grows until I can barely see on one side usually the right, followed up by the headache that rules them all... I may have a helpful tip for fellow sufferers, and when I can begin to detect the colors in my vision, I take 4 200 mg ibuprofen right away.. this seems to either prevent or lesson the pain.. this may just be a coincidence though.. however if you are like me, and you will try anything once to prevent that pain.. when I eat msg, a headache always follow, but I can't say that the vision problem happens when I have msg though.. I wish the doc's would fix this or tell me it won't kill me just learn to live with it I’m 31, male, 6 foot 3.. I now weigh about 260… I play basketball 1 to 2 times a week so consistently..

At first they just start as normal headaches then the pain became more severe. First I got migraines with aura and now I'm getting the retinal migraine loss of sight and blurry eye. This is really stressing me out because I get the attacks upto 3 times a week. I work in a call centre and would like to cofirm if the headsets that we use might be a possible trigger. If anyone knows please advise? Hi

You may speak w/ your doctor about an MRI or an MRA if you have a recurrence. In your instance I think the CT was a waste of time and money.

There's a significant relationship between BCP's and stroke in young women. If you’re on BCP’s, or a new type of BCP since this all started, I’d suggest getting off them.

If possible ... and it's not always possible ... find and then avoid your "trigger mechanism". It can be any number of foods, additives, etc, or more often than not unidentifiable. 15 – 20 minutes is the classic time frame for visual migraine.

It may decrease the pigment shedding that causes the high pressure that results from shedding the pigment during strenuous activity. You might try a low dose of pilocarpine drops before running.
