I have been getting headaches & they are might be down to migraines.

[Pratik_Shukla]

I have been getting a lot of headaches off late and I had been putting them down to long hours in front of the system. But the last one I got had me wanting to tear the hair out from my head and I am worried that they might be down to migraines or worse. How do I tell the difference?

Do regular lights hurt your eyes when you see them... not even directly looking at them? Thats a sign... of migraine...

its possible your getting tention headaches as your worrying about the headaches and making them worse if it lasts more than two days go to your doctor as he can give tablets for it if paracetamol dont get rid of it when you take them go to doctors next day or if there shut go to out of hours doctors?

Usually a migraine is severe but they can vary. They usually on one side of the head and can also effect the eye. You can have a aura or not.  Computers and flashing lights or certain types of light can trigger a migraine. Try to adjust your computer to be different speed than the light in the room. I don't know what the speed is but ask someone. Avoid, MSG, red wine, sulfites, walnuts, cheddar cheese and so forth. To get diagnosed for  a migraine see a neurologist and/or see  your doctor and see if you can get an EEG this will help diagnose if it is a migraine. THey can look at your eyes for some other problems and also do a CT scan or MRI to look at brain images if necessary.
