Migraine Headaches

It's possible; Your symptoms of pregnancy will usually appear anywhere from the first week of your expected period to 1-2 weeks after your first week of expected period. Your first signs of pregnancy most commonly include: * missed period * tender/swollen breasts * change in color of the breasts * fatigue * nausea/vomiting * increased sense of smell * weight gain Here is a link to a website that will calculate the probability of your pregnancy: http://www.thepregnancytest.com/

high-dosage intravenous injections of alkaloids isolated from fritillaria produced pupil dilation, tremor, slowing of the heart rate, and lowered blood pressure in human subjects.

Everyone is different. The best way to stop a migraine with diet is to keep a food journal in which you can identify a trigger food that causes your migraine and therefore eliminate it from your diet. To be effective, you must have low variably in diet to avoid confounding effects.

Yes. It is listed with other gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting and nausea on many websites. Google "migraine" + "diarrhea" to read more about it.

No. You absolutely positively cannot take both NyQuil and Excedrin of any kind together. They both contain high levels of acetaminophen, which, if overdosed on, could hospitalize you. Excedrin also has aspirin. Whether or not you can take them over so many hours apart, however, is a question to ask.

on day 12 of your cycle these symptoms are probably because you are ovulating, not pregnant

Trends in diagnosis and treatment of Migraine and other headache disorders has changed over the past 10 - 15 years due to ongoing research and changing knowledge of the pathophysiology and epidemiology of Migraine, and it continues to change. Diagnosis is determined by something called the ICHD-II which is like a chart that helps your doctor determine, based on symptoms and other criteria, what the diagnosis may be. The ICHD-II is being replaced as I write this answer, with ICHD-III, and until that is revealed in a few days, we won't know exactly what changes will have been made to it. ICHD stands for International Classification of Headache Disorders and is a project of a group of the world's top Migraine and headache specialists called the International Headache Society.

Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) which is an anticancer drug, and corticosteroids, such as prednisone, are used to treat WG.

Yes, when you're not breathing properly. You should learn brething techniques to avoit headaches.

Migraines are triggered by things that change the physiology of the body. Anything that can create changes within the body may trigger a Migraine. Barometric pressure that is too high may create changes that trigger a Migraine attack for some patients. For others a low pressure may trigger the attack. Still others are triggered by the change of pressure.

The same exact thing has happened to me. You and both know why and when you are getting the headache and my advice is simple. Stop for a week and start back up again. It needs a little rest or it will get worse and worse.

Facial massage may irritate and worsen such skin conditions as acne, psoriasis or eczema.

Eating prawns should not cause a migraine unless you have an allergy to prawns, in which case it is possible (although that is not the most usual type of allergic reaction).

One certain medication prescribed for migraines contains a barbiturate (butalbital)

There are three formulations:

Fioricet - butalbital, acetaminophen, caffeine

Fioricet with codeine - butalbital, acetaminophen, caffeine, codeine

Fiorinal - butalbital, aspirin, caffeine

No other medications prescribed for migraine contain barbiturates.

Barbiturates as a drug class have been phased out nearly completely by benzodiazepines (Xanax, Ativan, etc..), although some barbiturates are still used to treat epilepsy (and even then, there are many, many newer anti-epilepsy medications for a doctor to choose from).

The only barbiturate currently used to treat headaches (tension, migraine, or cluster headaches) is butalibital.

It comes in the following forms:

Fioricet (butalbital, acetaminophen, caffeine)

Fiorinal (butalbital, aspirin, caffeine)

Fioricet w/ codeine (butalbital, acetaminophen, caffeine, codeine)

In the 60's and 70's, barbiturates were prescribed more commonly to treat a number of things. With the invention of things like the triptans (eg, Imitrex) for migraine and benzodiazepines (eg, Ativan, Xanax) for anxiety and many, many anti-seizure medications, barbiturates have been mostly phased out, quite a lot of them not being made any more.

The blends of butalbital listed above have actually been phased out in many countries. It has been shown to do more harm than good and has a higher probability than many other compound medications (like Percocet or Excedrin) at causing transformed migraine due to medication overuse.

30mg of Percocet can be harmful for some people, but it depends on several things.

Percocet comes in several doses. The most common prescribed contains 5mg of oxycodone. Percocet also contains acetaminophen, usually written on the bottle as APAP.

30mg of Percocet can kill a person who has no tolerance to the medication. Oxycodone will cause a decrease in respiration and the person can stop breathing.

Also, it is unsafe to take more than 1000mg of acetaminophen at a time, or more than 4000mg in a day. Taking more than this can damage the liver. Taking more than 7000mg of acetaminophen in a 24 hour period can cause liver failure. Keep in mind that once the liver is damaged, it will tolerate less acetaminophen.

The antidote given for acetaminophen overdose must be taken within 4 hours of ingestion, so it is important to seek emergency help right away.

Time to get to your Dr. it could be flu symptoms or it could be something alot more serious, go see a Dr

The bumpy sinuous road and the incredibly loud, obnoxious music on the radio, soon combined to give Marwpial a bad migrane and a violently upset stomach.

I think. I am not positive, but this may be correct.

Braces on teeth may in some cases trigger Migraine in susceptible individuals. They may also trigger other headache disorders such as tension type headache which is much more common and easier to treat. See a headache specialist for appropriate diagnosis and treatment of your headaches.

Some people do find they end up with a mild euphoria or buzz-like response from certain migraine medications. This is similar to anyone taking any medication. Some people taking anti-depressants may experience a high, so might epileptics taking an anti-seizure medication. It all depends on an individuals reaction to any given medication.

Be aware, however, that if you taking migraine medications with the express desire to get high - there are certain medications out there that have no wiggle room to speak of in terms of taking more than the normal dose, especially if you are already on a medication that works with serotonin (SSRIs like Prozac, SNRIs like Cymbalta, tricyclic antidepressants like Elavil, pain medications like Tramadol and Nucynta, and an any of the triptan medications like Imitrex, Treximet, Amerge, or herbal supplements like St. John's Wort)

No it is not safe at all. ASK YOUR DOCTOR TO SEE WHAT CAN YOU TAKE WHILE PREGNANT OR TRYING TO GET PREGNANT. I was prescribed Keppra and was fine with it

I agree completely. My husband and I saw a specialist to ask about medications while trying to get pregnant and he suggested that Keppra was a good choice; while there are MANY studies that show a huge risk for women taking Depakote during pregnancy and conception.

She could possibly have Chiari Malformation. I am not a doctor. However, her symptoms sound very familiar to me. I was recently diagnosed and the side effects from this condition includes migraines and lost of coordination. I was also a premature baby and had problems keeping balance as a child. Chiari is rare and sometimes can be hard to be notice by regular doctors exams. For more information about Chiari ask you primary care physican. In my case, I had to seek a neurologist because alot of doctors werent familiar with Chiari Malformation. The best way to test for Chiari is by requesting a MRI or CAT Scan. The radiation from a CT can be dangerous, so an MRI should be your first choice. I hope this info hopes answer your question, but as I stated before, I am not a doctor.

When a woman may be pregnant, she often wants to know as soon as possible. Here are some early signs of pregnancy that can help her decide whether or not to take a test. Missing a Period The first sign for many women that they may be pregnant is a missed period. Late or missing periods can also be caused by stress, changes in weight and other factors, but for a woman with regular cycles it can be a telltale sign of pregnancy. Nausea While most people think of nausea as starting in the middle of the first trimester, some women may experience morning sickness as early as two weeks after conception. A physical response to the increased levels of estrogen in the body during pregnancy, morning sickness can actually happen at any time of the day or night. Breast Tenderness Usually seen as a normal PMS symptom, breast tenderness can begin just one week after conception. This is one of most common and least reliable pregnancy symptoms as it can also be caused by normal hormone variations or birth control pills. Exhaustion Abnormal levels of fatigue can be a sign of pregnancy for a woman whose activity level and sleep patterns have not changed. Pregnancy raises progesterone levels which can lead to tiredness. Hormone levels begin changing almost immediately after conception, so exhaustion may start as soon as one week after conception. Changes in Pigmentation Hormonal changes during pregnancy can lead to a darkening of the skin. This is most noticeable in the areolae, although it can also affect freckles and the labia. After pregnancy, the changes may lessen or go away completely, but for many women these changes are permanent. Pregnancy Glow Not just an old wives' tale, this glow is caused by two factors. When pregnant, a woman produces 50% more blood than usual and her hormone levels rise, stimulating her oil glands to work harder. The combination leads to the brighter, shinier skin known as a pregnancy glow. None of these symptoms guarantee pregnancy. However, if a woman is experiencing one or more of them for more than a day, it is probably a good idea for her to take a home pregnancy test. A positive home pregnancy test should always be confirmed by a physician.
