What is the medical term for everyday headaches?

No. It is not normal to have a migraine every day. It is important, however, to be sure that you are correct in your self-diagnosis.

Migraine is a very specific type of headache. It is possible to have daily migraines. Your doctor can help you determine if you do, indeed, have chronic daily migraine headaches. If you do, there are medications that can decrease the number of attacks you have, and other medications that can be fairly effective at stopping the migraines you continue to have with treatment.

Two more common cause of daily headaches are (1) withdrawal and (2) rebound headaches.

Withdrawal headaches can occur whenever your body is hungering for any number of drugs or substances. Going too long without your daily dose of caffeine or nicotine can trigger a headache as your body tries to tell you that it is time to dose up. These must be addressed by slowly decreasing your intake of that substance, a process sometimes known as "detoxification" or "detox".

Rebound headaches are similar, but happen in response to withdrawal from an anti-headache medicine. These classically occur during withdrawal from narcotics, but are actually more common as a result of withdrawal from ibuprofen, acetaminophen (Tylenol), and other over-the-counter headache medications.

Can certain vaginal odors indicate pregnancy?

If it is strictly an odor, no. Sometimes odor can be a result of infections though, this can affect your fertility. All women naturally have a vaginal odor. This is because the vagina is a self-cleaning organ. The odor is just the smell of your vagina discharge. This discharge changes with your cycle. When your discharge is clear and stretchy, this is generally the sign that you are ovulating (which is the best time to try to conceive). The odor of discharge is often strongest during ovulation or right before your period. Exercising can also change the consistency and odor of your discharge as well. So to answer your question, odor alone will not affect your fertility but the reason for the odor can affect your fertility.

What happens if you OD on migraine medicine?

If you overdose on Excedrin Migraine (if you take more than 4000mg of acetaminophen, or more than 16 tablets in 24hrs), go to the emergency room as soon as possible.

Taking more than 4000mg of Acetaminophen (paracetemol in the UK, and the main ingredient in Tylenol) can cause liver damage and possibly liver failure. At the ER, they will test your liver function and may give you an antidote (N-Acetyl-Cysteine).

If you receive the antidote within 4 hours of the last ingestion you may be able to ward off significant liver damage.

The amount of tablets a 150lb man or woman would need to overdose on the aspirin component of Excedrin is much higher than the acetaminophen. About 40 tablets. The acetaminophen overdose becomes the primary concern, because at 16-20 tablets you may be causing liver damage.

Not all the Excedrins have exactly the same amount of ingredients in them.

Excedrin Extra Strength and Excedrin Migraine are the same.

Excedrin PM and Excedrin Tension Headache have 500mg of acetaminophen per caplet.

Make sure you are taking all acetaminophen containing products into account, including things like Nyquil.

Is it serious if you've banged the forehead and you have headaches and felt dizzy and faint when you stand up?

You could have a slight concusion you will probably be ok but if you notice many more changes go to the hospital and get an x-ray or a small emergency medical center it would be cheaper and pay cash. That way it would be cheaper all the way around. Is your vision good? That is something to consider. Your brain probably got jolted and it is reacting to it. Sometimes also the scull can get a hairline crack which can cause these symptoms you said you have. Even so it will heal. Like I said though if you get any other strange sensations in your head it could be bleeding is taking place not something to mess with. If you did not hit your head that hard you may know if that is the case by your situation. Hope your alright.
