Why do I get headaches now after years of meth use?

Meth does not only have short-term physical affects, but long-term effects on the brain. They can cause mental illness in its many forms, schizophrenia, rage disorders, etc..

It is possible, therefore, that an increase in migraines may be caused by those affects. Because migraine is a disease of the brain - caused by the spreading cortical depression that covers the brain, a loss of serotonin, and an increase in dopamine.

Amphetamine use actually destroys serotonin receptors.

It is also possible that the physical effects are still present - such as vitamin deficiencies. Migraine can be acutely affected by a deficiency of magnesium and vitamin B2.

You need to be diagnosed by a neurologist, and find one you can be honest with about your meth use. SSRIs may be your best bet for stabilizing your brain.

I have a lot of pressure in my head and my ears and throat are killing me what could be the cause?

Well all the symptoms that you have described seem to point typical sinus problems and even a sinus infection.
Pressure in the head can be due to congested sinuses. When your sinuses become congested they build up pressure in the head and this in turn also results in your body draining mucus down the back of the throat (this condition is known as post nasal drip). When your mucus is infected and it is drained down the back of the throat it ussually leads to a sore throat/ throat infection. The pain in the ears is also as a result of the congestion, because your ears are connected to your sinuses throuth the eustachian tube. When the sinuses become congested we ofte nfind that our ears feel blocked. When there is a sinus infection we may even get earaches.

Is migraine with aura a common migraine?

That depends if you are asking about the medical term or if it is a type of migraine that occurs frequently.

There are two main categories of migraine.

The term "common migraine" is an antiquated term that refers to migraines without aura. This term "common migraine" is no longer accepted in the International Headache Society's ICHD II which is used to diagnose headache disorders. Some older physicians who are not familiar with headache medicine may still use this term because they are not aware of the change in terminology.

"Classic migraines" is an antiquated term that refers to migraines with aura. This term "classic migraine" is no longer accepted in the International Headache Society's ICHD II which is used to diagnose headache disorders. Some older physicians who are not familiar with headache medicine may still use this term because they are not aware of the change in terminology.

"Common migraines" occur more frequently than migraines with aura, but up to 30% of migraine sufferers experience migraines with aura. People who experience migraines with aura may still end up experiencing a "common migraine" sometime during their lifetime.

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

How do you stop headache?

If you want to stop a headache that seems worse than normal, take liquid medicine. Next, get into a room with no sunlight. (Sunlight bothers my headaches!) But before you lay down, make sure the room is silent and steady. Get a cold wet washrag or a icey fresh glass of water. Lay down, try to sleep, keep the rag on your forehead, drink your water, and that should solve it within 30 min. Try it! At least it always works on me! ^^
