weird headache

[dawn5209]

I am 23 years old and about 5 yrs ago I started having what they think is migraine headaches. At first they though I was having mini stokes because I have left side numbness, chest pain, shortness of breath, vision problem, and slired speech. After lots of testing they came to the conclusion of migraine although I never had a headache I had continued problem for about 3 years. In the last 2 mon I have started having extreamly bad headaches all on the left side of my head, sometimes I don't even have a headache I can just feel lots of presure and the side of my face feels numb but I still have proper movment of my eyes mouth and ect. Over the last few days my left eye has been twitching non stop along with the presure in my head... could this just be the weird migraines comming back or is it something more serious that I need to see the dr. for??

Hi,
How are you? Atypical migraine can present without actual headache. If the numbness and eye symptom persists, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper management. Abortive and preventive medications may be given to manage your migraines. Take care and do keep us posted.

I've noticed that i get the lightheaded dizzy weird feeling after i drink a pop (soda) > it wont happen immediately after but after a little while. I stopped drinking and started eating more times a day but less calories. I feel a little better now;. I think part of it was my sugar level rising and lowering really fast from the sugar. my eye was twitching too. I googled it and it could either be stress or too much caffeine. Just a thought

I do get light headed alot and feel like passsing out! I had problems with head aches and all this weird stuff for years and now all of a sudden its back but it different ways... My doctor always told me that anytime I have the numbness and stuff to go to the er because they are not compleatly sure that they weren't mini strokes. My doctor told me to watch taking excedrine and over the counter meds, I have factor five lidon with is a blood cloting difficency and they can mess with that.

Yeah. I have that too. Sometimes my headaches last for days though.I've been trying Excedrin Migraine for it. It doesn't always work. Usually only sleep does. It could also be stress.  I was wondering. Sometimes i just get lightheaded and feel like i'm going to pass out. Do you get that too?

This sounds to me like anxiety and stress. I am a 28 year old female and I have the same problem, somewhat. Sometimes I have speech problems too! Kind of like I can't get the words out. All my issues is my left side also. I don't get headaches though really. Just burning sensations, pressure, "floaties" in my left eye, pressure in my left ear, tingling all over my left side, left nasal drip, and pressure in that area, etc. Too many strange feelings to list. I went to the emergency once and was told it's all anxiety. I still wonder if it's more than that all the time, which leads to more panic attacks!
