Can Anyone Help?

Hi, I'm Nicollette. I'm 15 years old. For the past 3 weeks, I have been having terrible migraines every day. Followed by being light headed, feeling nauesous, can barely eat, shaking, and feeling like I'm gonna throw up. I'm concerned. It's almost been a month, I told my parents already but we have to wait for 2 more weeks because thats when the appointment is. Can someone please help me out on this? And give me your opinion and try to tell me what you think this might possibly be.

Thank you,
Nicollette (:

Get your blood sugar and blood iron levels checked.  And go into urgent care/get same day appt.- don't wait!  Make sure they get a scan (CAT or MRI) of your head if these migraines are new for you.  Also, be sure and find out if your blood pressure is way too high.  If your blood pressure is way high, you might also ask them to rule out pheochromocytoma with a fasting plasma free metanephrines test.  A person's blood pressure can go up with pain also, but you don't want to have prolonged high blood pressure in any event and you certainly don't want to wait that long, if you are like me, to try to break a vicious pain cycle.
