ongoing headache and bad taste in mouth

[e3rica]

Hi, I've had a headache for two days on the right side of my head and spreads through my neck, this has happen before because I have headaches and migraines a lot. I'm 20 yrs old and female. I'm also experiencing a bad taste in my mouth . This has also happened before but I'm not sure why. Could this be anything serious . I've always been afraid of having a tumor but I have an anxiety disorder so I could be over reacting. A lil more background about me is that I have bad sinuses , I take Zoloft currently, but being switched to cymbalta because I have bad pain in my lower back and hips daily . Thinking it may be fibromyalgia, but I also have scoliosis and uneven hips adding to the pain. I'm only 20 so the amount of pain I suffer from daily is unreal to me. I'm always weak, feel myself dragging just to get things done, I have a two year old so I have to get out of bed , but its a struggle. So please if anyone knows what I'm going through and has an idea of what it is or what I could do let me know. Thank you .

Hi. Your discription of symptoms is like a mirror image of what my current issues are including the scoliosis: did you find a solution to the headache and bitter taste?

hi kimberlyramirez, Were you able to find help? Hope things are ok now. Wondering what it could have been as i have similar symptoms too and wondering if it is a bad migraine.

Hi!
I am sorry to hear about your medical problems. In all probability the bad taste in mouth and headaches is due to chronic sinusitis. This can cause a post nasal drip which can cause a bad taste in mouth. Chronic sinusitis is often allergic and may also be due to mold. So, check for mold under sinks, washbasins, carpets, air conditioners etc.
Drink plenty of fluids like ginger tea, warm lemonade, soups etc. Take steam and do a valsalva maneuver (Done by taking a deep breath and blowing while pinching your nostrils and closing your mouth). This will help clear the secretions in the tube that connects the back of your throat with your ear. Try taking steam twice in a day.
Along with this you will need something to loose the collection in sinus and help it to drain. Since you are on medications like Zoloft or cymbalta, please ask your doctor regarding the best decongestant for you. Please discuss with your doctor. Take care!
