Hi all, I have suffered with bad headaches for years but in the last couple of years they have got worse!
I will often wake up in the night with them, but sometimes they start in the day. It’s always on the right hand side and it’s almost like I can feel my head pulsing! Pain seems to be linked to my neck. Sometimes I can get a stiff jaw/weird numb sensation across my face and ear. I can’t really describe the feeling, but it isn’t nice.
I keep a migraine diary and I can’t see a pattern regarding what triggers them.
Doctor has prescribed me 900mg of aspirin to take alongside sumatriptan but I can only take that x4 a month, and I usually get a headache or migraine a lot more than that. I also have anti sickness pills.
I may be referred to neurology at some point, but in the meantime does anyone have any tips or tricks? It is making my life really miserable. I am mid 20s - I don’t think it’s hormone related as they can happen any time of the month.
Thanks
