Should I go to a neurologist for my migraines?

[ginny_weasley]

This one I could feel coming at around 6 am I had bad ringing in my ears but I ignored it. Now I feel nauseous, my head feels clouded and like my head splitting in half. Right now I am so sensitive that I can barely look at my phone even though the brightness is the lowest it will go. This is annoying I have shopping to do today but I probably shouldn't be driving.

Right now, my family has decided to see what my triggers are. I haven't had an eye appointment in years so my glasses could be the wrong prescription and that could be a cause. Tomorrow I will be making an appointment with the eye doctor. Also I am taking vitamins

Try spraying oxytocin spray. This is as per a new research that has just come out from Brazil. By the way oxytocin is also know as the love hormone. If this thing cannot give you relief than you can take an appointment with a neurologist. I think a good amount of rest or sleep will give you some relief. But if the problem is persistent since from a long time , then you will have to contact your neurologist. I hope you get well soon because it is always fun to have you around in lively discussions.

Yes , eyes also play a role in causing migraines if they are stressed. I think your problem is not too serious. And it can be cured with a proper line of treatment. Do people suffering from migraines sometimes become very wild or rude? Does any thing like this happen to you?

[ginny_weasley]

I think irritability is a symptom. I tend to get irritated at people during migraines.

Thanks for your honest reply. Information needs to be shared.

There is medication they use for Migraines called Topamax
Topamax (topiramate) is a seizure medicine, also called an anticonvulsant. Topiramate is used to treat seizures in adults and children who are at least 2 years old. Topamax is also used to prevent migraine headaches in adults and teenagers who are at least 12 years old or older.

How often are you getting migraines? I ended up going to a neurologist for mine because I was getting them so frequently. At the very least, I'd probably go to your regular doctor.

[ginny_weasley]

About one or two every month. But when I do get them they're absolutely terrible. My last one was so bad, it lasted for almost three days. I should've gone to the ER then.

[EmpatheticLady]

Yeah, I would say something to your GP at least like I said. You can see if there's a prescription you can take to alleviate them faster than over-the-counter meds like Advil or Aleve.

[nikki_24]

You should make an appointment with the doctor. I had bad headaches on a weekly basis a couple years ago and they helped by giving me a cat scan and finding a medication to help with the headaches. You don't want to ignore this incase its something worse or could become something worse. Good luck.

[xHoneyxBeex]

If it's a recurring problem for you then it couldn't hurt to go to the doctor to find out what may be causing it. Migraines can be due to a number of issues. The doctor will be able to narrow it down and either prescribe medication or help you identify any lifestyle habits that could be contributing to them.

[Lyndsielee666]

Have you gotten a CT done on your head because of the migraines? I get them bad also and they had me get a ton of CTs done all for them to come back negative and ten prescribe me a pill that stops them from coming 😒

[ginny_weasley]

I've never gone to the doctor for these mainly because my parents think its no big deal. I'll try to talk my mom into it though.

[Lyndsielee666]

Girl you're 19 years old go by yourself. You're an adult schedule an appointment by yourself. They could e a serious thing, better safe than sorry.

[NedfromtheNed]

I just put your stuff into webMD. It turns out, you have an alien growing inside of your head and it will probably burst out in an hour or so.

In all seriousness, if it becomes frequent then go to the doctor.

[ginny_weasley]

According to my migraine tracker, my last one was 41 days ago. But that was about 4 times worse than this one. It lasted for almost three days, I should've gone to the neurologist then.

[NedfromtheNed]

ok. I don't know. Its really a judgement call on your part.

[maiez]

This once happened to me and I went to get my brain scanned, saw a neurologist, blah blah blah no one could find anything wrong. 5 months later, it occurred to me that the reason for this was because I was plugging my nose when I sneezed, therefore building up pressure in my sinus and messing with my brain, nerves, eyes, etc. So if you are blocking your nose when you sneeze, it could definitely be a problem, no one has written about this.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

What's your diet look like? If you don't eat in a while, you get them. Also certain processed foods don't help. And so does not staying hydrated. Also, too much light contrast isn't good

I used to get them a fuck ton and still get them if I don't eat in a while

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

And by fuck ton, I mean I got them every single day. Once or twice a month isn't that much in my opinion to go to a neurologist... Then again, it's your life 👌

[Hans222]

I think you better do... don't think migraines will improve without medical assistance :o
Collegues of mine who have it always tell that indeed they can't drive. So better not to do it indeed.
Hope you'll soon feel better :D

[smahala1991]

I would go to the doctor for sure. With them happening that frequent and often, plus those symptoms it would be a good idea.

[smahala1991]

That sounds like a good first step though.

[ginny_weasley]

Yeah hopefully we can found causes

[angelwingscake5]

Yes you should go the Neurologist remember your health is the most important thing first so you should go as soon as possible. I want you to feel better😀😊😎👍👍👍

[IceCubedude]

go to the doctor but just so you know he can't do much for you , many peopel suffer from migranes there is no treatment

[Waffles731]

Yes, you should, my sister went for her migraines and they actually managed to find a medication that helps.
Honestly, that should be your first choice

[KaelRhain]

Yes, go to the doctor, i had very painful migraines a few years ago, the treatment worked.

[This_is_my_username]

Yes! You need to go and get that heckled immediately.

[This_is_my_username]

How often do you get migraines?

[ginny_weasley]

About one or two every month but when I get them, they're terrible. My last one lasted for almost three days.

[akadatank44]

Yes you should probably see one. Do you have a normal doctor prescribe you anything for them? Imitrex is a common medicine. there's also injections too.

[ginny_weasley]

I've never gone to the doctor for these. My parents think it's not a big deal, they did get me medication called Equate Migraine Relief but that was mostly to get me to shut up. And it doesn't work.

[akadatank44]

Yeah you have a serious case of migraine headaches when your getting them that often. They should really let you go to the doc.

[Iron_Man]

Yes you should go ASAP

[babeeeone]

You should
