Getting out of control.

I'm 16 and have been diagnosed with very bad migrains i get atleast one a week without fail, but now things are getting worse i now am having problems sleeping once i fall asleep i go into a very deep sleep and can be for 16 hours and no matter how hard my mum trys she cant wake me up most of the time but when she does manage to wake me up i get voilent and have tried hitting her before and lashing out and just go back to sleep but when i wake up i dont remember any of it, shes told me that i have been sick in my sleep and not woken up and that she has even sat on the bathroom floor with me while im being sick for over half hour but i dont remember any of it could this have anything to do with the migrains?

Hi,

Since epilepsy, brain tumors and migraines have been ruled out. It is important to rule out stress and anxiety. Have you been feeling excessive anxiety of late?
A mild tranquilizer like Alprazolam, breathing exercises and meditation will help you.

I have been given a whole range of tablets over the past 2 years but none have been found to work and i have pretty much been left to get on with it. i have had many tests but they all came up clear i have been checked for brain tumours and eplilepsy and we have gone through all the triggers the doctor could think of but none of them seemed to set me off. nobody knows why or how any of this is happening but not only am i lashing out at my mum in the mornings im also appearently saying voilent things about other people, she told me she tried to wake me up this morning and i told her 2 give me two minutes to finish ripping someones nails off!! im not a voilent person if i was then i could understand but im not.

Hi,

Hope you are feeling better.
Nausea and vomiting usually accompany migraine headaches. However the unusual thing is that you don’t remember any of this once when you wake up. This requires further evaluation and I would suggest you to get a sleep study done.
Are you taking your medications for migraines?
Medications like Topamax have shown very good activity as prophylactic agents for migraine. Also it is important to identify a trigger for your migraines. Please maintain a headache diary to do this. Magnesium supplements also have bee known to help in preventing migraines. Avoid caffeine, MSG, artificial sweeteners and processed meats as these are known migraine triggers.

have you been to a doctor? i dont know anything about migrains but this sounds unusual. i really think you should tell your doctor about all this. but like i said i dont know anything and it could be nothing but if its causing problems you should see a doc.
good luck hun
