Headaches

[Desert Arabian]

Poor Ramanth! I hope you feel better soon! Let us know what the doctor said!!

Last Friday, I was in the emergency room for 4 hours from a horrible migraine. They thought I was having a stroke cause I went numb and couldn't move...but it was just my darn head giving me a horrible migraine.

((HUGS))

I'm so sorry you're going through that Kimmy. I went through one a few years ago along with an ear infection so bad it made my eardrums rupture. It's terrible. GET WELL SOON!

This does sound like infected sinuses. Get thee to a Doctor.
Headaches that last and last should never be ignored. Even
if the pain eases a bit, please do get it checked out. Hope you're
feeling better soon. Let us know what the DR. says, o.k.?

I'm sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well Kim. I think it sounds like a sinus infection too. I get bad ones every year & have to go to the dr and get medication.
Please let us know what he says.

What did the Dr. say, Kim?

[ramanth]

Thanks for the thoughts everyone!

Yep.. it's a sinus infection in the early stages. There is fluid in em' that is not quite infected, but had it been left alone, it would of been nasty.

She perscribed me a decongestent (HORSE PILLS ) that I take twice a day. Already my head is feeling a bit better and now my nose is runny.

But if the headaches and symptoms get worse, then I have a perscription of amoxicillon on file that I can start taking.

(But I tell you what... I'm surprised my headache isn't worse after the morning I've had.... I couldn't find my keys.. ... and finally had to leave with my apartment unlocked. I got to work and called the apartment office and thankfully they are locking it up for me. My dad is making me a spare key with the copy they have... and after frantically calling Andy... the keys are in HIS coat pocket!! He feels so bad.

I'm just happy they are not lost for good. )

Sorry you have a sinus infection, but glad it isn't something worse! Get well quick!

[Katiesmom]

I get headaches alot. Even the kind that you described but it was not a sinus infection. I had to have an MRI done and they found nothing so they put me on medication just for headaches I get them everyday all day long and trust it sucks but the pills really help! Hope you get to feeling better

[anna_66]

Good to hear that's what it was and they've given you something to help.
Hope you keep feeling better

Hey Kim, if you find that you aren’t’ sleeping well, just take one pill a day in the morning. Sometimes the decongestants can keep you awake or only allow you to get restless sleep.

Glad it was only sinuses! I’ve had years worth of horse pills. They work really well, though!

Thanks for the input. I was so tired last night that I had no trouble sleeping, but if I start waking up to something other than kitty wrestling matches on the bed, I'll know not to take it before bed.

Thankfully I've never had a problem taking pills. I was just shocked at the sheer size!

I'm so glad you know what is causing the problem now, Kimmy!

I am one of those self diagnosers, and usually can tell when the sinus infection is coming on. Thank goodness, my doctor trusts me as I have always been right, and will call something in for me when it happens. But recently we decided to try some preventive measures and I have been taking Singulair (I do not have Asthma), but my sinus issues are allergy related and I have only dipped into the over the counter sinus medication about 5 times in the previous two months!

This is more info than you need, but my BP has been up and we feel it is due to a number of things, including my use of Birth Control Pills, OTC sinus decongestants and lack of sleep. It is improving and I am proud to say that my intake of sinus medication (the OTC type) has decreased immensely!!!

I know exactly how you feel. I've been getting a headache every day for the past three weeks.

Try going to the chiropractor. They can get rid of your headaches, not to mention relieve any cold/sinus problems you have.
