Answers:
Dear,I am also a sufferer from headaches and migaine.My strong advice find a really good neurologist to find the proper solution,by examining you scrupulously and to administer to you some really workable medication.As you share your experience I don't think your doctor give you the right "help"..As to your feeling of hearing some ringing in your ear it is a sign that you can have problems with your vestibular system..and that is cured with other medications..LUck and God bless you!!

did i hear someone say call the doctors it is proboly a migraine Excedrin

Migraine-type headaches produce moderate to severe pounding or throbbing pain, common on one side of the head. Migraine pain is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, dizziness and sensitivity to light and/or sounds.


Just a thought, but during the spring and fall I get blinding headaches that cripple me. The only relief I get is from a cup of coffee, Excedrin (aspirin, acetaminophen, & caffeine mix) and a shot of 12 hour decongestant nasal spray (be careful if you have trouble with your blood pressure, don't use this remedy). The pressure in my head is unbelievable, and for some reason, the nasal spray relieves it. These headaches may be sinus headaches which rival migraines for pain. Ask your doctor again and suggest the idea of sinus headaches or migraines.

I used to have headaches that were severe and accompanied by all-day vomiting. It was absolutely miserable. My doctor gave me painkillers that worked for a while, if I could keep them down, and a couple of times I got a shot that helped for a while. The real turning point came at the age of 30 when I had my gallbladder removed. It's been quite a while since then, and in the years since, I don't think I've averaged one of those debilitating headaches a year, where it used to be several times a month. Maybe next time you see him, you could ask your doctor if you might have a similar problem. (They said that my gallbladder had apparently been diseased for a very long time. it was full of "sand" - very small gallstones.)

p.s. Meanwhile, Max's advice re aspirin, caffeine, and acetaminophen can take care of some of the less severe headaches. Many things could be going on. Depending on your age, different things are more likely to be causing your headache. If you are in your 60s or older, and you have constant headache along with jaw pain or visual disturbances, it could be a serious condition called Temporal Arteritis which can lead to blindness if not treated. Any age could be effected by any cause of increased intracranial pressure (hydrocephalus for example). Symptoms of increased intracranial pressure include headache, vomiting (usually sudden), and visual disturbances. This is a life threatening condition.
You headache could be caused by an ear infection, or even a tumor of the nerve going to your inner ear.
This could also be a migraine. Migraine are caused by decrease blood flow to the covering of your brain called the dura mater.
Finally this could be a severe tension headache involving the muscles in your forehead and some of the muscles that control your eustachian tubes.
Caffeine may be the cause and cure of headaches. Try drinking coffee or green tea. If it isn't dehydration I'd go see a Dr. All I know about headaches is that the 2 most common ones are from light dehydration (just drink more water more often and wait 20 minutes to see how you feel) and the other is stress. If you can cancel out stress and water definatly see a Dr.!
