What gives me a headache?
The question I have been pondering for 3 weeks. I have had a headache for the past 3 weeks. Not always intense but I wake with and go to sleep with it. Probably it is stress related but since it is better to be safe than sorry, I went to the doctor yesterday. She did a really thorough neuro exam and is sending me for a broad spectrum of labwork. I should have gone this morning but a migraine woke me at 4 am and I have spent the day in bed. My blood pressure was a little higher than it usually is, still well within normal range, pulse was lower than usual, still well within normal range. I should have written a report today that was to be in by noon, but it is not done. I have done the reading but my head just will not formulate my thoughts in a concise way, in swedish.

Hi Kitty:
I went to the Dr. regarding my constant headaches, and other stuff, and he has put me on an anti-anxiety pill. This is my second month on it and it seems to be working. Mike says I am not so anxious and things don’t get to me as much as before. The pill is Cipralex. I am on 10mg but combined with my 75 mg of noratryptline for my tmj (which is also an anti-depressant) he wanted to start me on a small amount. Maybe you should try it?
