Shooting pain in the left side of the head may be symptomatic of many different diseases and disorders. It is a very good reason to seek the advice of a physician since the cause may be simple and of no consequence, or dangerous requiring immediate medical care.

For appropriate diagnosis, treatment and prevention of headache disorders, seek the help of a board certified headache specialist.

Use a neti pot. You can pick one up from the pharmacy for less than 15 bucks. It is basically a way to "wash" your sinuses by pouring a salt/baking soda in water solution through one nostrel to drain out of the other nostrel... kind of like how you keep your mouth clean by brushing your teeth. Works so well for me, makes my sinuses feel free and clear. and it can be used many times a day-- no harmful side effects!! better than medicine by far.

Such smelly sweating is most probably caused by some type of bacterial infection. You can apply the concentrated common salt solution as well as vinegar to treat the condition. You can apply the same during night time, only or say during sleeping hours.

If nicotine is a person's migraine trigger, then any type of product that has nicotine - even nicotine gum, will cause a migraine.

If a person's migraine was triggered by the allergens in cigarette, cigar or pipe smoke, then it is possible that removing those inhalants would avoid a migraine.

The digestive system (including the stomach, large and small inThe digestive system (including the stomach, large and small intestines, and rectum) converts food into nutrients and absorbs them into the bloodstream to fuel our bodies. We seldom notice its workings unless something goes wrong, as in the case of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).&&Up to 1 million Americans are thought to have IBD, which occurs most often in those ages 15 to 30, but can affect younger kids and older people. Most cases are reported in western Europe and North America.

You also use 'Endep' (its a tablet)

a migraine is a severe pain that is typlically on one side of the head but sometimes on both sides! The pain is mostly in the front around the temples or behind one eye. migraines can occur at any time of the day and can last a few hours or up to one or two days. Migraines can be very intense, forcing the suffrerer to abandon normal daily activities.

Yes they can be signs of pregnancy! My mother had diarrhea with my brother and sister, and you get really gasey because of all the pressure and making room for a baby in your stomach. I would suggest to still take a pregnancy test though, just to make sure. Good luck!

It's been recalled.

Yes, Migraine is a genetic, neurologic disease that can affect males and females of all ages, including infancy. The symptoms of Migraine in a child may be different than an adult's symptoms, however Migraine can be just as devastating to a young child as it is to an adult. Migraine may progress and chronify in small children as well, so quick, appropriate treatment is warranted to keep them healthy throughout their lives.

For best results in diagnosis and treatment of Migraine and other headache disorders, seek the help of a board certified headache and Migraine specialist.

Seriously.. I could counsel you on what to stop taking, and what you can take and have a few beers, but I'm not going to. Drinking with Xanax and/or Klonopin has killed people before, and will kill them again. I would say if you only had one or the other on board and had 3-6 beers you're going well over the suggested amount (which is none). But on one of those drugs you would probably be OK, just more inebriated. Don't mix 2 drugs like Xanax and Klonopin with booze. Or if you really must, ask your health care provider.

Come on, seriously. You're asking on the internet about a cocktail that could put you under.

And, if you're on Depakote-- you're aware alcohol withdrawals, and even just slight hangovers can trigger seizures, right?

No, Depakote is not an MAO Inhibitor.

Depakote (generic name valproic acid) is an anticonvulsant often prescribed as a mood stabilizer for those with bipolar disorder (manic depression).

dont forget epilepsy

it is also sometimes used to control the mood swings associated with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), but is limited in effectiveness as BPD tends to be caused by psychological distress rather than brain chemistry

Calcium and Magnesium balance each other out in the body. They also bind together, so when taken together the body may not be able to use them appropriately. Taking calcium and magnesium separately allows the body to absorb and use them more effectively.

Effexor -xr Does not cause grinding or clenching of your teeth. However, because it calms the mental effects of anxiety some or many of the physicall effects may become noticed or exaggerated. Exessive sweating, grinding of teeth, overeating ect. You may want to talk to a counsilor or therapist to find the reasons for you anxiety as releif comes woth knowing.

Lack of oxygen

You take Relpax at the very onset of a migraine. If that does not work in a couple of hours, yes you could take some Excedrin.

I took depakote in the past and i would like to know if it will make you sterile. I now take tegretol and lamictal and i would like to know if tegretol or lamictal could make you sterile. If anyone has any answers on this i would like to know. My e-mail is hattmart@yahoo.com. Thank you

i have been on Depakote for about 2 months and have been having XTREME joint pain that only seems to get worse... hips, lower back, shoulders and right wrist all STIFF and so much PAIN. i walk and perform most simple tasks with great difficulty. i am 35; i feel like i am 90 !!! i am a performer; dance and sing but have never had pain to this degree as a result, in so many places in my body at the same time. both my psyciatrist and g.p. are treating this WAY too lightly though i have started taking Seroquel as to remove the Depakote; anti-inflamatory medicine and creams are NOT helping... i am very worried because i can't find anyone else with this problem!!!

There is evidence that migraines have a genetic component, particularly in certain specific sub-types of migraine (eg, familial hemiplegic migraine). This does not mean, however, that people who do not have a family history of migraine cannot be diagnosed as experiencing migraine headaches.

I am pregnant and have been very constipated, I have also been suffering with cold sweats during the night and whilst being very constipated of late I have suffered headaches I'm unsure if these are linked but are occurring at the same time

An icepick headache is also called a "Cluster" headache. It's very dangerous and considered the worst pain known to medical science. Women who have it say it's a lot worse than childbirth. It's treated as a medical emergency if you're forced to a hospital.

Yes. Cluster headaches are an especially severe kind of episodic headache, to the point where they are also known as "suicide headaches." There is no confusing them with tension headaches. Cluster headaches involve extremely severe, one-sided head pain which is centered around the eye. The pain is stabbing, throbbing in nature.

Cluster headaches are so-named because the people who have them will have them every day, usually for a period of weeks or months. They will start at around the same time every day. Thankfully, while other types of headaches, such as migraines, may last for days, cluster headaches usually last a short amount of time, such as 30 minutes to an hour. During the rest of their day, they will be symptom free, although being in such intense pain can be exhausting.

Not all people who have cluster headaches will have them go away after weeks or months. They will have what is known as Chronic Cluster Headaches, which means that every single day they will be hit with intense pain.

Other symptoms that go along with the pain of cluster headaches are the eye on the affected side tearing up, as well as the nostril on that same side suddenly running, although these symptoms do not happen in all people. For some people, the eyelid will droop.

More men than women are affected by cluster headaches.
