Guest Dobermaxx Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Over the last 2 weeks I've been getting these rally bad headaches behind my right eye that spreads over half my head. It's been happening almost every day and it's driving me nuts. I think it's sinus related but then again it might be a stress migarne, im not sure. What I've been doing is taking Excendrin Extra Strength and steaming myself to relieve the sinus pressure. It doesnt always work but it provides a bit of relief. Quote Link to comment
mwah Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Naproxen sodium (220mg/tab) works very well with my patients. Have you tried it? Quote Link to comment

Isn't it that if something's sinus related you get a pain around the nasal area and the eye sockets especially when you bend down? Ganun ba yun sayo? Naproxen sodium (220mg/tab) works very well with my patients. Have you tried it? Not yet! :goatee: But I have some allergies with pain relievers especially Ibuprofen. Meron ba history of allergic reaction with Naproxen Sodium? Quote Link to comment
angel_by_day Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Any other suggestions? Anybody have a success story at beating migraine? :goatee: Well, ideally this should have been included in the medical thread. At any rate, there are more specific medications for migraine such as sumatriptan and ergotamine (prescription drugs), other than the usual painrelievers we label as nsaids (included are mefenamic acid, naproxen, etc..). These meds, coupled with sleeping in a quiet, darkened room usually work (since migraine is often accompanied by either photo or phonosensitivity). We strongly suggest that people diagnosed to have migraine, such as me, avoid food rich in tyramine such as cheese, wine and chocolates. Other causes can include stress, missed meals, and even menstrual cycles. You have to be aware of what the trigger factor is. Lastly, make sure you get the right diagnosis first (consult a neurologist) since a lot of organic problems can present as headache, and can be mistaken as migraine. Refrain from self-medication, please. Quote Link to comment

Not necessarily, sometimes it just hits me for no reason. My nose isnt stuffy or anything like that. The pain just starts up then i feel stuffy after about 15 minutes. Isn't Naporxen Sodium a presciption drug? Quote Link to comment

But you can try getting it without one, cos it's one of the more frequently used painrelievers, as common as ponstan, etc...Just dont take it on an empty stomach. Dapat with meals. and only when needed (if the pain becomes severe). Quote Link to comment
hydro_chloride Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Ang cause kasi ng migraine eh over toxic. Kaya dapat bawas sa toxic foods Quote Link to comment

Just be careful if your going to take any painrelievers. A history of an allergic reaction to one ay mean allergic ka rin sa iba in that drug class. Ibuprofen is an NSAID. This family includes mefanamic acid, naproxen, piroxicam, meloxicam, and diclofenac among others Quote Link to comment
johardue Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Ang cause kasi ng migraine eh over toxic. Kaya dapat bawas sa toxic foods Ang cause ng migraine e toxic na boss, toxic na trabaho, toxic na pasyente, etc Kidding aside, some foodstuff can cause migraine attacks. If you may backtrack a little through the previous posts, certain food which are rich in tyramine like wine, chocolate and cheese can be a trigger. So if you have migraine stay away from these foodstuff Quote Link to comment

You might end up getting more than what you asked more.Just remember to pay your doctor a visit just in case those migraine attacks worsen or have begun failing to respond to the usual meds that you're taking.

tmm0814 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 (edited) mine is a bit weird... lalakad ako sa labas... mainit... papawisan ang ulo ko... pag pasok sa office... lalamig dahil sa aircon... lalo lalamig ang ulo ko dahil basa sa pawis... minsan after whole day naka-tutok sa pc monitor... tapos drive pauwi... 30mins na puro headlight ng kasalubong ko... then it will start to strike me from left forehead (above eyes)... never occur on my right forehead... sometimes tangal sa tulog, sometimes tangal sa kape...

I also take Excedrin Extra Strength and it really works for me. Caffeine is the secret of this drug. That's why I take loads of brewed coffee too when I'm having migraine attacks.

That's why I take loads of brewed coffee too when I'm having migraine attacks. yes, it's quite effective.... there are other meds too such as ergotamine and sumatriptan which are quite specific and effective for migraine. But again, we remind you, please have yourselves diagnosed first. Migraine Headache is just one of the many types/causes of headache....there are a lot more in the list. If the headache becomes more frequent and increases in intensity, or if it is the new-onset severe type, then go see a neurologist. A cranial CT Scan might be warranted. Quote Link to comment
Wyld Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) My remedies: Coffee and 2 capsules Excedrin or Tylenol Extra Strenght OR A can of icecold Diet Coke or Diet Mountain Dew (gotta be diet for the extra caffeine kick) and 2 capsules Excedrin or Tylenol Extra Strength PLUS No more than 2 hours of sleep in a cold, dark room. Upon waking up, I have a cold shower and im good as new. When my migraines were really bad I was on prescription Avamigran but that kinda went away by itself.
