headache in the right side of the head
Jul 29, 2009 in the Migraines & Headaches Community
Hi, Your headache seems to be triggered by hypoglycemia or low blood glucose level. It also has an element of exertional headache in it. As of now it does not appear to be worrisome. I would however advise you never to exercise on an empty stomach. Make sure you eat all your meals on time and drink loads of water during the day. Thanks

These triggers are mostly food products like red wine, MSG, artificial sweeteners, processed foods, canned foods, aged cheese, etc. The best treatment for migraines is identification and avoidance of trigger. Nose bleeds are often associated with mi...

Hi, I would suggest you to consult your physician as early as possible. Since you have a positive history of TIA and your current symptoms are also quite suggestive of TIA as well, it will be better to get a clinical exam done. Thanks

Alcohol and Migraines
Jul 27, 2009 in the Migraines & Headaches Community
Hi, Alcohol per se is not a migraine trigger but wine especially red wine which contains tyramine is a well known trigger for migraines. I would suggest you to completely avoid red wine. Beer is another alcoholic drink associated with migraines although the association is not as strong as red wine. This is due to histamine content in beers. Panic attacks ...

Hi, The chances of raised intracranial pressure is quite less because there are other symptoms apart from headache like nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, head pressure. Lortab can cause rebound headaches if taken for prolonged periods of time. I would suggest you to discuss this with your doctor as you may need dose adjustments. Thanks

Deficiencies like magnesium and B...

DNS is often associated with headaches. It can be corrected with a very minor surgical procedure known as septoplasty. The surgery is peformed very quickly and recovery usually takes 2-3 we...
