Headache

[MadHandle]

Migrane headaches can be from lack of food too...so make sure your eating. Your night anorexic right...j/p, but make sure you got food and take some advil, it helps. Or you can press on the vein near your index finger and your thumb. i think it blocks blood going to your forehead.

Migrane headaches usually happen when you migrate alot.

Anyone know if they'll give me migraine medication if I go to ER?
I've had a headache since about noon yesterday and I'm about ready to kill myself if it doesn't stop.
I don't want to go to my doctor and she probably won't have an appointment for me anyway.

Immitrex is the medication most physicians prescribe for migraines. If you have always had migraine headaches, a CT scan of the head should be done to rule out certain things. If its a temporary thing, just rough it out with some Aleve or Excedrin.

If you would like to see a Neurologist, call Dr. Yegyan....
801 S. Chevy Chase #103
Glendale, CA

*Get his # from 411....He's a really good neurologist

Dr. Garnik Yegyan? Isnt he a little on the flamboyant side?

The person with the nosebleed problem. You probably have capillaries in your nazal passages that are close to the surface. Some may burst, giving you the nosebleeds. You can have them cauterized if the problem is persistant.

Yah but if the marriage is a prereq for that, then it's not really worth it cause you'll end up having a bunch of other head aches to deal with

I took some Aleve and went to bed and that did it.
I think alcohol may have triggered that one. I haven't drank much lately. I had a Presidente at Chiles for lunch and about an hour later my head was killing me.
Pain medication (non prescription mostly and some prescription) doesn't do much for me usually, so I don't normally take anything. I love Aleve now.

I think I will make an appt and go to the dr. as soon as I change drs. and have it checked out. I'm pretty sure it's stress related migraines, but better safe than sorry. You're right.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

OMG You know him??? He's so nice! I just took my cousin there to see him on Wed. We heard a lot of good things about him. He's the nicest guy..and he's very funny! My cousin is going through depression, but he totally put our minds at ease. Apparently, depression runs in my family. My mom had it, my cousin has it, my other cousin...and a bunch of other people. We didn't realize it until he told us....He goes, "Saghet gizhek!"

I do not know him personally, but I know of him, and of people who have met him. I refer patients with neurological problems to him. But I hear he's a funny character. lol.
