Common Questions and Answers about Propranolol and migraine headaches
inderal
I have a history of migraines for about twenty years. I quit smoking 7 months ago, and started propranolol 20 mg once a day. I gained 30 pounds. My whole body is sore and Im having episodes where my upper body and sometimes legs just feel so heavy and tired I feel like Im going to pass out. Had a Head CT, Head and Neck CTA, CBC, EKG all were normal. Is it related to migraine? ER doctor said it is anxiety. Oh I stopped celexa five months ago because I was extremely fatigued.
Hi,
How are you? Migraine headaches usually present with one-sided throbbing headaches with associated nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to sound and light. There are plenty of medications available for preventive and abortive migraines. Sometimes trial and error is done to determine the suitable medications for each patient. However, rest, ice packs, and avoidance of triggers will help prevent recurrences. Take care and do keep us posted.
The day after the surgery my EP Dr put me on Propranolol daily and Sumatriptan to take when I get the headaches, but it doesn't seem to be working and the migraines keep coming. I've gotten 2 migraines today already.
Has anyone experienced this after a heart ablation? did it go away? I cannot imagine having headaches like this for the rest of my life. They are debilitating. I can't go to work, I can't sleep, I can't eat, I can't do anything! HELP!!
His only medical history up to that point was that he developed migraine headaches a couple of years before the strokes, a history of peptic ulcer disease, and sleep apnea. He was using CPAP prior to the strokes without a problem. Since the strokes, the migraines are almost a daily occurrence (although he does take propranolol as a preventative med for them), he cannot tolerate the CPAP( we have had additional sleep studies and made changes to the CPAP without any improvement).

Sounds like a migraine..."throbbing" headaches generally are. Have you been able to schedule an appointment with a Neurologist for sometime in the near future?

My little high is over from last week and I had a bad bought today that I could feel coming a while before it hit. I was in and out of weird headaches all day and then bam I had a really bad headache and a bunch of skips and PVC's. I felt like I was going to pass out. I didnt panick this time because I had no pain at all with this bought so I just took a Propranolol and tried to occupy my mind with something else.
I have had a cat scan on my brain and an x-ray on my neck and they found nothing wrong they said maybe muscle spasm, i have also had a migraine needle and a few eye tests but still nothing they can find. I have also tried chiropraticors. At the moment im trying bowen therypy and he seems to think its my jaw that is out somehow and that 30% of the nerves run through there. My left side of my jaw does seem to ache aswell but doesnt seem to anoy me as much as around the eye and temple.
It was a heavy amount of weight, and I strained myself while trying to re-rack the weight. Since then, I get exertion headaches sometimes during intercourse and weight lifting. I am most interesting in treatment and healing time, but could you please explain some of the physiology to me? I am a university biology student, so you don't really have to dumb down the explanation.
I have had zero relief and have literally had a headache / migraine every day since. They changed me to Imitrex instead of the Maltax and added Amitriptyline at night. Still...no relief. So far I have had an MRI and an MRA but nothing showed up that would explain the headaches. About three days ago I started getting really bad neck pains that gradually would get worse throughout the day (just like my headaches / migraines).
I had my first migraine when I was 12 and they became chronic and literally everyday after two car accidents. (Rear end and head on). I am soon going to b getting my nerves on my c3-6 burned to help with the headaches and neck pain. I'm only 23 yrs old. I had to quit my career (cosmetologist) I loved it and right before my migrianes randomly became daily I had an offer to become a redken color artist and do hair in big time hair shows up on stage with many famous hairstylist.
I've had what the doctors call cluster migraines for about 15 years. I've been many times to the doctor, although when I was younger they said there was no pills for this type of thing. They will come often, mostly a constant pressure that will build up now and again for weeks or months at a time, with short reprieves for a month or two.
I was diagnosed with a transfer migraine last August. It started on Aug 1st and hasn't left me since. It's been an agonizing 6 months. It's called transfer migraine because it moves all over my head. I've never had one of those common migraines where the light bothers me or I get nauseated or see auras, etc. My migraines have been "light" headaches that stay with me for a few days: from 3 to five days at the most.
suffering from severe migrain headaches. The symptoms started nearly six years ago and use to usually appear alongside my monthly cycles and last for 2 to 3 days but from the past two years they are more frequent, I have been suffering from continuous headache for nearly two months with reprieve of just one or two days in the middle,The severity and intensity varies from time to time like after a good sleep the headache mellows down.
My family doctor seems to think that I have sinus, tension and migraine headaches. The pain and sensitivity to light has become so bad that I have to sit in a dark and not move all night after a day at school. The pain is mainly behind my eye and on my nose bridge, then it spreeds to my forehead. Eventually taking over the whole front half of my head. Now my left eye lid is swollen along with this side of my nose bridge.
