unbearable headaches

I have been having horrible headaches the last few days. they run up my neck and behind my eyes. my boyfriend massaged my neck last night and I was doing a little bit better today until I layed down. when I sat back up the debilitating headache came flying back.  I have tried tylonel, I took claritan in case its allergies, and nothing is working.

Re: unbearable headaches

  • My doctor told me to call her if I had a bad, persistent headache. I don't actually know why, but that makes it seem serious to me....

  • Would definitely contact your doc tomorrow just in case and to see what they recommend for relief! Good luck!

    Omg I am going through the same thing right now! It started Saturday night and has been most of today. Going to my appt Tuesday :-S haven't tried Tylenol yet because I'm scared to take anything in the first trimester.

    Actually I did try a cold compress and that helped a little!
  • I had terrible headaches my last pregnancy and it was because I was trying to quit drinking caffeine. Have you stopped drinking coffee or tea?

  • I am getting bad ones because of my sinuses. Are you congested at all? You can try a Netipot, hot showers help me and sometimes McDonald's fries (don't as me why).
  • I did quit drinking coffee when morning sickness started. I did add back in caffeine and have been fine with the small amount. I called my midwife and they said 1000 mg of tylonel and to try and wait it out. if it doesn't get better I can have an apt before my normal one on Monday to make sure everything is alright. right now I am feeling alittle better but I still don't feel well. my head hurts but its not the grab my head and cry curled up in a ball hiding in the dark it was last night. unfortunately migraines and pregnancy seem to go hand in hand with me. I had one last 6 weeks with my son. finally took a neurologist putting me on prednisone to make it feel a little better before.
  • My doctor mentioned some women suffer from vascular migraines during pregnancy this morning at my apt. I had discussed with her some of the headaches I have been getting. This last weekend, I became extremely sensitive to light, had splotchy vision, and then began to get a decent sized headache. I know it is so scary, so hopefully you can find some relief! I have been keeping the lights in my office low and taking breaks from my computer! This is a new pregnancy symptom for me, definitely did not have headaches with my first. Feel better!!
