Pre-E/HBP Mamas..

If you had/have headaches, could you describe them?

Ive had a headache every day for the last two weeks and Tylenol doesnt touch them. Sometimes I get a sudden intense throbbing on one side of my head that lasts a few seconds also. Ive been monitoring my BP and its been fine (I think? Im usually around 120/low 70s at the Dr., and sometimes its 130/low 80s at home), but Im still worried because I dont know what else it could be, as Ive tried caffeine, rest, ice etc. Thanks for any help...

(Mentioned it to my OB and she isnt worried either...)

    For me, they were intense - I woulnd't have been able to function to post on the nest, or drive, etc.  They were beyond painful and unlike any other headache I've ever had.

    I am keeping headaches - some worse than others but as of yet, I have not had "the" pre-e headache. It is essentially knocks ya on your butt and you cannot function... not to say the reg dull headaches are not pre-e related.... because they very well could be. Tyelenol does nothing for the headaches I have now. But (as they ask me here 50 times a day) on a scale of 1-10 where does your headache fall - I am usually between 2-6. I will save those upper numbers for "the" pre-e headache I unfortunately know, and hate.

    Pre-e headaches can be like that, but it could be a migraine.  I get migraines pretty regularly, so it wasn't possible to differentiate the causes for me--they felt about the same. If your doctor doesn't think it is pre-e related, I'd ask for some medication to manage the pain.
