hello 5 weeks ago i woke up to find my left eye had what i can only describe has a frosty shadow over it i left it for two weeks thinking it was just floaters no change so went to the doctors who gave me a blood pressure test found it was high and put me on felodipine prolonged release tablets 2.

In June '08 I was sitting watching TV when my left side from my head down to my leg became stiff and numb. Went to the ER and checked by 5 neuronogists, had scans, MRI & other tests. Their consensus was a brain event in the rt. thalemus. For 2 & 1/2 yrs I was living with a 5 out of 10 sensation but last Dec. '10 as I was having dinner, the sensation became worse like an 8 out of 10 and I'm having increased trouble moving my whole left side.

For the migraines try a powder magnesium citrate. It works wonders for me and I got the migraines before and during pregnancy.

Migraines are a mystery but they do cause all the symptoms you relate in your complaint. Sometimes bloodpressure medication can alleviate migraines. I would see a doctor and try bloodpressure meds. If that doesn't help alleviate some of your symptoms there are some new pain med's that are effective in treating migraines but if used daily could cause liver or kidney damage after a long period of time. Sometimes migraines are caused by dehydration.

I am active, never sick but use eyedrops for Glaucoma, very slightly elevated blood pressure for which I take a mild 5 mg. Felodipine tab and vytorin for slightly elevated cholestrol. My chol. ratio with meds is 2.3. The last week I have had a great slowing of my pulse. For three days it didn't get over 42 and on one day if got down as low as 37 and then 38 and stayed there all day. My blood pressure has been about the same as it always is....

I'm 21 and have had migraines since i was 8, but it seems that my migraines have been getting worse over the last few years. I have been having blackout spells, where i just blackout for 10 minutes and even sometimes up to an hour. I've done research on migraines but haven't been able to figure out if the blackouts are tied to my migraines or not.

The migraines have not stopped since being off accutane and she now is chronically having migraines that wont go away. I am convinced that Accutane has caused this.

Hi, How are you? Migraines can indeed be triggered or associated with hormonal changes during menstruation, pregnancy and even intake of oral contraceptive pills. This can be managed with rest, ice packs, and prescription medications. Overuse of over-the-counter pain medications may lead to rebound headaches. It is best that you see your doctor for proper management. Take care and do keep us posted.

i seem to have mostly visual problems and some pain with my migraines.. my perception definately feels off and my eye gets really low on the right side of my head.. i was wondering .. does it make a difference in a dignoses with it being on one side of my head mostly?? and i seem to be so depressed ever since these symptoms started... i have been on all the antidepressents in the world..is it normal to have depression with migraines when they seem to be constant??

Seasonal allergies really seem to contribute my migraines. Extreme heat can also trigger my migraines. Also, many summer activities such as mountain climbing/hiking or sitting/lying around in the sun for too long can trigger my migraines or make them worse. When it goes from heat to rain, that almost always triggers a migraine for me, and that can happen quite a bit around where I live.

On my last admission to hospital I had a new nurse who has decided that I am not to no longer be using this drug for migraines and has made it very hard for me when i have a bad flare up.There are times with my headaches I am admitted to hospital as my right side loses all the feeling in it,and I recieve my pain control by injection until the feeling returns. This is the treatment plan by three neurologists,and I wonder what your out look on this would be.

I am a 36 yo female with chronic migraines (nothing seems to help). After 2 ablation proceedures on my heart, I am waiting for a 3rd. I'm still going into afib and a flutter regularly. I have palpitations constantly. I have never heard of Raynauds but do complain about circulation in my hands and feet. I was seeing a chronic pain specialist for my migraines and she feels the my heart condition, problem with circulation in hands and feet, and migraines are linked.

I'm 11 wks and 5days and I've been having frequent headaches and even migraines. I was in the emergency room because of a migraine, I was bearly coherent. Does anyone else ever get this bad?

Hello I have had migraines and epilepsy from the age of 2. I find that I get migraines a week before my periods and the first few days. Stress, emotion and lack of sleep triggers migraines and seizures. Since I was put on keppra and tegretol 2003 I don't have so much seizures anymore. I also fell pregnant which I had less seizures and migraines. My girl has turned out fine. I could not ask any better because it took the depression away. I hope you get better.

I have a bulging disk at C-3 and loss of curvature of my neck, and muscle spasms, these headaches all started after the last rear end collison that I had, had been in 2 before this time. Anyway, I have neck and shoulder pain almost on a daily basis, and notice that when my neck is bothering me I get the tingle in my jaw/face, and also in the upper part of my legs, no numbness. I have had 2 brain MRIs, and there is no lesions. Normal. My questions are....

I have already been on the Lithium for a year and it is helping me. I found, per web searching, that some people get migraines from wellbutrin. Is that true? I am so hopeful because I used wellbutrin in my past and it was wonderful for me. I was at the denial stage of my illness and quit taking it, but now I understand I need my medication to live a normal life. I was also having terrible headaches then and I have them better under control due to my taking magnesium daily.

Ask your doctor for Imitrex 100mg, is not narcotic, non addictive and it takes away your migraine right away. I'm also a migraine surferer and have tried a lot of medications and Imitrex works wonders.

The meds were changed to Keppra and Depikote--those allowed me to function and I went another 5 months without a seizure--then July 14, 2008--I had a seizure--I have had three more since then--the headaches are worse and more frequent--but do not akways precede the seizures--these are all starting with severe tremors in my right arm and hand--then my head starts and then my whole body----while they have always left me hurting in my muscles afterwards---my legs have really hurt with the recent

I am 47 and have suffered from migraines and headaches for about 6 years. The only thing that helped was Topamax. I used it about 6 years ago for about 2-3 months. Unfortunately, it made me extremely nauseous and my hair started to fall out. I am so desperate for relief that I asked my doctor to try it again, but at a lower dosage. The first day I took 25 mg and felt Like I had "morning sickness" all day. I am supposed to gradually increase to 200 mg by the end of the month.

I can drink sprite, ginger ale, mountain dew, gatorade, fruit juice ( although not too much apple and no orange juice) and no dark beverages. I also recently tried sparkling water and that seems to be ok. I am going on a gluten-free/soy free diet just to see if I have a food sensitivity. Any suggestions on what my next step should be would be greatly appreciated. Also I don't know if I should see a GI or an ENT.
