Frequent headaches!!!!?!
Question: I am an 18 year old female. I get headaches very frequently. It runs in my family. My mom gets a lot of headaches and so does her dad and sister but she didn't really get A LOT of them until she was in like her 20s. I am averaging 2 headaches a day!! They normally occur on my forehead or on my temples and they are like throbbing and last for about and hour or 2 depending on if and when I take medicine. I am a health freak and i eat a very healthy balanced diet and exercise regularly. I definetly drink a lot of water considering thats about 95% of what i drink on a daily basis besides hot tea. I probabily take and average of 14-20 motrin a week!! I seriously think something is wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions of what i can do because i'm ruining my liver with all this medicine. And please don't tell me it's genetic, I really need something that's going to help me.

I have had a similar problem for years now, not EVERY day, but much more frequently than other people. I have to take 4 ibuprophen to make any difference at all, and like you, it really adds up! When I was 21 I started getting migraines as well. So now I have to deal with both. It really affects my life, always having a headache. And crying only makes it hurt worse! My doctor wants me to get an MRI, but I know it will cost me a lot of money. Maybe I'll find an answer once and for all that way? And maybe you could too. I would definitely talk to your doctor about whats going on.
try getting an x ray .. or try using some natural solutions for awhile..
migraines? it runs in my family and im only 17 and ive been getting them since i was 14 my brother has been getting them since he was 18 and hes 21. you can be the healthiest person alive and still get migraines ask your doctor about it
first off make sure that you are not consuming ANYTHING that contains artificial sweeteners... aspartame, asufame, splenda, nutrasweet, etc...
2nd.. my mother used to suffer from chronic migraines all the time. she started taking an herbal supplement called Feverfew. She takes it everyday and has not had a migraine in about 15 years,.. except when she has ran out of feverfew and not taken it for a long period of time.
