Question:
Bad headaches, not migranes...?
A few weeks ago, I got 2 very bad headaches... not migranes (I looked up migranes online, and don't have the symptoms). They are in the back of my head, where my head meets my neck. Horrible pain, reducing me to tears. What could it be?
Answers:
omg.. i sooo read this article in a magazine where this girl had the same prob. u did and it ended up being a birth defect called "chiari malformation" and its where a part if the cerebellum- the area of the brain at the base of the head- extends out of the skull and put pressure on the spinal cord..... also 1 in 1,000 people have it but also there are triggers that cause those headaches like : stress, dehydration, loud music and caffine withdraw, when the blood vessels enlarge the inflammation causes the pain.. DONT PANIC PLEASE... i highly doubt that birth defect is whats wrond with you just take some OTC meds.. but if they last longer i would advise going to the doc.
