juoquine asked:


Is there as site for example that I can pinpoint where I have pain and it can tell me what kind I am having? I think it is migranes (not diagnosed by a Dr.), but migrane medicine isn’t working most of the time.
It’s mainly in the temples (one or both sides), then moves behind one or both eyes. I get nausiated as well (about an hour after I start to feel pain). It gets worse and ends either a few hours later, or when I got to bed. Light makes it worse, and motion.
They come off and on. Sometimes not for weeks, then sometimes a few times a week. I have no idea what triggers them. No warning at all. I have tried to figure out if it is lack of sleep, change in exercise, or diet, but no pattern yet.
I just need to know if it is migranes, tension headache, sinus pain.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
My husband says he thinks it is when I’m having my period… Didn’t know that could trigger it. Good to know, I’ll look out for that.

  1. Says:

    Sounds like a migraine, usually the symptoms are light sensitivity, nausea, sometime leading to vomiting.
    I’m a chronic migraine sufferer. Woke up to a horrible migraine and not able to go back to sleep, my meds aren’t working either. Mine are brought on by my menstrual cycle.

    Ive had all of the above, and it sounds like a migraine. I get really bad ones that actually influence my vision and cause blind spots. I actually got some migraine specific medication that targets inflamed capilaries that causethe migraines. Go to a doctor, they can really help you out.
