I'm Currently Feeling: | Anyone else suffering?! Hey everyone hope you've all had good weekends!
Well basically i have had this really annoyin headache for the past week, at the back of my eyes and at a loss as to what it is.
I have been to the doc's twice.
First he said it was blocked sinuses and told me to take paracetemol for three days and come back to him if it didnt go!
Well it didnt go, in fact it got worse so he told me to get my eyes tested and gave me some amoxicillin cause he said he still thought it was my sinuses.
Went to get my eyes tested, no real problem there!
Have been takin amoxicillin for three full days now and it hasnt touched it!
My mom who is an advanced nurse said she didnt think it was sinuses and couldnt think what it could be other then change in pregnancy... hormones etc!
I had my BP checked and was fine at 115/80, was worried it could be high BP.
Have been eating well and drinking lots son not blood sugar or dehydration.
Anyone else suffered with headaches at this stage???
How long did they stick around for??
It's drivin me absolutely nuts and makin me really miserable.
Sorry for the moan just hoping somebody can relate really!!!
Thankyou

I'm Currently Feeling: | Have had exactly same head ache behind eyes and across forehead. Went to the doctor twice first was told it was stress and then was told I had a throat inf??!! It lasted over week and still comes and goes sometimes. Try not to worry to much that will make it worse and also look at how your sleeping as mine was half down to sleeping in awkward position and my neck was stiff. It drives you crazyI know! Take care xxx | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I've been having really bad thumping headaches on and off for a few weeks now. There's not alot to do for them unfortunately, apart from the odd paracetamol. And rest when you can. Hormones I think! Hope it dies down soon  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Hope you feel better. I was told that having your feet rubbed helps relieve some of the pain from headaches (never took mine completely away but did help relieve the pain a bit). |

I'm Currently Feeling: | yup
i can definately empathise with you i have been having constant headaches for the past 12 weeks and they still come and go but the good news is over the past 3-4 weeks they arent quite so regular i get a couple of days off a week at least now...
doc said it was partly due to my high bp and stress but i just think its due to being pregnant...
just keep ploddin along hun it will all be worth it in the end!!

I'm Currently Feeling: | Could be migraines, mine have come back (I used to get them on the pill due to the hormones), I'm not sure you can get anything for it though, try the forhead strips and a couple of parecetemol and plenty of water?
