I have snapping during thunder clap headaches.

I am a 16 year old, and even since I was 11, I have been having these severe migraines followed by the extremely painful snapping that feels like it's in the middle of my head. My parents only tell me to take pain medication for it, but regardless of what I do, it can't prevent this. They don't really want to take me to the doctors, but if this begins to get any worse, I probably will go.

Does anyone have similar aches at all? It gets really distracting, especially during school, when I literally have to walk out of class from the pain.

Evan, do you hear ringing, buzzing, roaring, whooshing, or clicking in your ears? You are describing what could be a particular type of migraine.

This would also explain the depression as well as any anxiety or mood swings. How are you at sports and balancing?
