Sudden headache... can someone help?!
Question: Last night, I was sitting in a restaurant with my sister when my head began to hurt. It started with a light pulse and snowballed into a dull pain on the left front of my head, from above my eyebrow to the middle of my head. I couldn't even talk or think, it just HIT like a wave. It lasted for about 15 minutes, then went away. When we were driving home 30 minutes later, it happened again, but this time it faded to a light pain. It still hurts today, that light pain. Any thoughts? It came out of nowhere.

It sounds like a cluster headache (migraines that come in intervals). You are right about the possible triggers but the most common immediate trigger is alcohol. Did you have a drink with your dinner? I have also known of people getting this type of migraine after spending hours in front of a computer screen.
Please please please go to the Dr.! It could be several things...from not serious (sinus) to life threatening (Anurism). Not to scare you, but I just had a dear friend pass away last week from this (anurism) She had what she thought was a migraine - passed out & the next day, they took her off life support - no brain activity. It could just be sinus.....I have those alot, just kind of scared now! Please check it out!
There is blockage in the flow of Vital Energy and nothing else.
Pl try simple acupressure given bellow.
Alternate systems of medicine can only help you.
There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES,
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.
Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, tension, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, SMOKING and alcohole.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong.
If it is acute pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
For forehead pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.
It may disappear naturally too.
