Answers:
Given your recent hormonal fluctuation (for which we have ruled out pregnancy, yes!?) I would bet that your headache's are migraine/migraine-variants!. They can come on, very suddenly-- especially if you have a maternal relative who gets them (or it may skip a generation)-- without ever having had a regular "headache" per-se in your life!. I never had a headache until my 20's and then --I had a migraine--like clockwork--every-time around ovulation or menstruation!.

Migraine pain is often experienced behind one eye (sometimes both) as you describe--and there are a host of other symptoms!.!.!.but most important, regarding you, is that they are hormone-sensitive and you are clearly fluctuating!.

It is also possible you have PCOS, which causes dis-regulation of the menses!. See an endocrinologist/gyno for a work-up and get a referral to a neurologist (head-ache doc) if the headache problem persists!.

I am a fellow suffer! I sooo feel you!. It might take some time, but the sooner you get it under control, the better!. Good luck!!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

From what I can tell, the lightheadedness and headaches are either a sign of some nutrients missing from your diet, or, more likely, dehydration!. As silly as it may sound, many people are walking around dehydrated and don't know it!.

I suggest upping your intake of water and taking a nutritional supplement!. Drink eight glasses of water a day, unless you don't drink much/any right now--- in which case, you need to slowly build up the amount of water you drink!. Keep in mind that drinking coffee, soda, tea etc!. dehydrates the body so you need to compensate for that as well!.

Juice doesn't count as water intake (sorry =P), so keep that in mind!.

Despite this advice, you do need to go get checked out if the headaches persist/get worse!.

Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You could be having a sinus issue, you may want to get it checked out!.

If it makes you *sick* and is like the worst migraine ever, get it checked out immediately!. A friend of my mother's once had a horrible headache that caused her to start throwing up and they found an aneurysm in her brain!.!.!.she's lucky to be alive!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
