Terrible headache on 4th or 5th day of my period.?!
Question: Every month, on the 4th or 5th day of my period I get a TERRIBLE headache that only goes away after I take a nap (and sometimes not even then). Am I losing too much blood or something? Advil doesn't work at all so I'm switching to Excedrin. What else can I make of this?

It's possible that you're losing enough blood to cause symptoms, but not enough to be dangerous. You could try taking a vitamin with iron when you know your period is going to start, and take it for that week. You should also make sure you're not getting dehydrated. Make an effort to drink at least an extra glass of water/fluids a day during your period. Make sure your calcium intake is good...supplements or extra yogurt or skim milk. As mentioned, it could just be the drop in hormones; that was the only time I got headaches, around my period. Hopefully the above measures will help make it less terrible. :)
hormonal migraine most likely. I get them on the first and 4-5 days of my period. Advil liquid gels work a lot better then the regular advil for mine. A shower followed by going to bed is sometimes the only way for me to get rid of them.

It is due to harmonic imbalance.
Hot water bath will help.
Pl try simple acupressure given below for immediate relief.
There is hardly any 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.
If it is acute pl search a painful point (with round tipped pen/jimmy) 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.
It may disappear naturally too.
