Migraine Headache?

**CrystalChord** · 03-16-2010 08:13 AM

Yesterday I suffered a migraine headache on the left side of my head. My migraines usually make my arm and chest cavity ache, along with my neck and the back of my head/jaw. On top of that I crave candy and pizza (or taco)-flavored things. I even thought of having pizza rolls or ice cream for breakfast! Taking a shower relieved the symptoms for a while, but they returned and stayed until I went to sleep last night.

I woke up this morning feeling fine; the headache seemed to have gone, but about an hour ago, the same symptoms came back, and on the same side! Now I'm worried about (yes, you guessed it) aneurysms, or even a brain tumor causing the pain instead.

I haven't been sleeping well recently--I had a week where I was completely sedentary thanks to spring break, and I was sleeping on a different bed. So last night and the night before, my sleeping habits haven't been normal. I keep waking up and going back to sleep and waking up again. I also may be close to my period, but I'm not sure. I think this is the week before my period, so that may explain the paranoia.

Has anyone had the same symptoms as me? I'm really concerned.

And because you are typing this it is neither of the two

I had a week where I was completely sedentary thanks to spring break, and I was sleeping on a different bed. So last night and the night before, my sleeping habits haven't been normal.

Going from one bed to another often will cause someone to be restless, your used to one bed then you go to the other then go back to your regular one so your body has to continually adjust.

Yeah, I am a student. I can rarely get a good nights sleep anymore, up every hour headaches from writing countless papers. It sucks. There is nothing to be concerned about, it is not a tumor it is not a aneurysm it is likely due to you just getting back into the groove of things and needing a good nights sleep. If the pain comes back just try taking a tylenol to calm it down.
