Severe Headache/Migraines?

[pinkremote21]

Hello ladies, once again I turn to you all for some help with my problem. For the last 3 days I have had a horrible headache, it's one of those you wake up with it headache behind the eyes and forehead. And gradually it will wave in between a little better then by the end of the night it is borderline migraine nauseous, sensitivity to lights and sound. Today was the worst and I went to bed crying because it hurt so bad, I also noticed if I'm laying down I'm fine but AS soon as I sit and stand up there is a rush of pain right back to my forehead. I've read varying things that could cause this,and if it matters I will admit I haven't been eating a lot the last couples days, and I'm almost positive I'm low on iron. But any advice or tips to help would be wonderful I do have an obgyn appointment Thursday so I will ask her about it as well.

I always believe I'm drinking enough water I have a 2.7 liter water bottle that I drink at a minimum of once a day but even when I drink that and another liter I find myself still dehydrated, and yes I'm almost positive I have a low iron count possibly anemic. I had severe sickness early on and was told to get a prenatal without iron to see if it helped and I never took iron supplements later on to make up for it. And I'm sure with the lack of eating the last little while has made it worse. I just barely got an iron supplement and took one tonight.

Another thing to consider getting checked is your iron. You said ur almost certain, and when ur anemic it can cause headaches. Hopefully that all it is which can be easily resolved by taking iron supplements with your doctors ok. Take care

My doctor said if I started getting severe headaches to call her. Have you been drinking enough water? Could be dehydration as well

I don't have any swelling at all, and I didn't even think of it being my blood pressure. Every time I go in my blood pressure is really low around 107/70 low so I didn't even consider that! I am definitely going to call. Thank you

Do you have any swelling? It sounds to me like your blood pressure which is a common issue during pregnancy. I have the same symptoms but I have been on medication to control it. I really think you should at least call your Dr or L&D before your appointment because it really can be serious. I have been told at every appointment that if I have any of the symptoms you just described to call immediately.
