When you are pregnant is it normal to have severe headaches?

A lot of women have migraines while pregnant. I even did. I was told that it was from the hormone changes. Let your doctor know that you are having migraines and see what they can suggest. I had a headache every single day while I was pregnant. While I am prone to chronic migraines (from ligament damage in neck), I mostly suffered from actual but very bad headaches. You can take tylenol, but if that doesn't work, it is totally safe in most cases to take narcotics (lortab, vicodin, percocet, etc...), but NOT asprin. Pregnancy causes considerable fluid retention in the mucuous membranes, which can also contribute to sinus infections & sinus headaches. Good luck

What causes Tenderness on one side after headache?

I have had pain on one side of the head/temple. And I would say depending on how bad the pain in the temple was, this would depend on how much tenderness there is. Like when you have a cramp for instance in the leg, if the cramp is bad enough ,when the cramp goes away , there is tenderness where the cramp was and could quite awhile. I had a terrible terrible pain in the one side of my head, went to the ER and the next thing I new, it was the next afternoon. I had had two seizures, my point is, the tenderness in that one place is still diminishing, and it has been a long time.

What is wrong with my nose?

For a long time the left side of my nose has been on and off hard to breathe through. I've tried many things like covering each nostril with my finger and trying to test how I breathe, there's a difference; the right side takes in more air, quicker, and a lot smoother, the left is kind of like breathing through a straw. At first I thought maybe it was a deviated septum or I I did something to make it like that but it doesn't look like it's crooked and with the way I breathe it doesn't stay that way, it's been on and off hard to breathe from the left side. I haven't really worried about it since the right side takes in so much air and I can breathe but now it's annoying me because on both the inside of both sides of my nose on the wall there's... What I call pits (they've also been there a while), they'll bleed or just scab over so when I breathe in deeper than usual or flare my nostrils I accidentally break the scab and it stings me for days until it fixes itself, which is usually a scab that I break while breathing. Right now my left side is very stuffy. It occasionally leaks which I wipe but I can't blow because nothing will come out. Everything is backing up into my mouth and down my throat. I obviously spit it out when my throat sweeps it back up.. but when I do I'm not sure if the blood spots in there I see are from my nose or throat. I assume it's my nose only because I have those scabs there but those spots are closer to the bottom/nostrils of my nose so if they were bleeding wouldn't they just bleed down towards the edge of my nose or lip? I went to a doctor who said I was fine but I don't feel fine? I read this stuff I'm typing and can see having nose pits that scab over and on and off not being able to breathe through one side of my nose by can do it above average on the other side isn't fine. I'm not sick and I don't have bad allergies. My family has bad sinus problems I'm the only one who doesn't have an issue there's multiple humidifiers around and tons of nose spray if I need it. I don't understand why my nose is this way.
