Question: I've had a headache for a month!?
I've had a mild headache for a month now!. I can't really get more specific than that!.!.!. it just feels like a normal headache!. I take pain killers like aspirin, and that kills the pain, but it's not solving the problem because it comes back once the meds wear off!. Do not say go to the doctor, I don't have insurance and going to the doctor is not an option!. What's wrong with me!? I realize it could be a number of things, and I need to see a doctor to find out exactly, but has anyone else had a problem like this!? thanks for your advice, in advance!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Claire, to help pin down the cause try keeping a journal for a week or so!. Note things like onset time of the headaches, state of mind, is it occurring on a full or empty stomach!. Look for other causative agents like stress, location (frontal, back of head, temple area), one sided or bilateral and description of the pain itself!. e!.g!. dull ache, sharp, vise like!. Also anything else happening before, during or after like vision blurring, pain or pressure in your face or tension in neck or shoulders!. I believe you know how to reach me through email and I would be glad to try to give you an educated answer!. One other thing I just thought of is it accompanied by nausea!?

Plus with more info I could send you a diet that one of my doctors put me on that lessened the migraines and other types in both frequency and duration!.

It could be a pinched nerve from spinal misalignment!. If money is a concern, it might be worthwhile to check out a chiropractor!. Most, if not all chiropractors are cheaper than doctors, and they generally will offer first time patients a consultation for free, to see if they can solve the problem!.
