Tried everything and can't shake this headache?!
Question: Tried everything and can't shake this headache!?
My daughter is 5 months old!. Before I was pregnant I would get a few headaches here and there and about once a month I'd have a severe migraine!. I even blacked out and ended up going the wrong way down a one way road once!. Since she's been about 2 months old I've had a bad headache every single day that I can remember with the exception of one or two days!. They vary from mild to near-migraine!. I've tried drinking more water, wearing glasses instead of contacts, getting more sleep, ibuprofen, imitrex, and cutting out caffiene!. The only thing I can think of now is a visit to the chiropractor!.
As of right now, the only way to stop the headache is to crawl into bed and just pass out for awhile!. I recently resumed birth control hoping that would help but it hasn't yet!.
Has this happened to anyone else!? Could it be caused from horomones after childbirth!? Any suggestions!?
P!.S!. I have called my doctor and I get the usual runaround- get another eye exam, visit the chiropractor, drink more water, etc!. Without undergoing extreme tests I am out of options!.

Answers:
You might call me crazy - but did you have an epidural!? Sometimes your spinal fluid leaks into the epidural space and it causes some scary headaches!. Try this: (to determine it's not something else) drink more water (like you said), when you are in a full blown headache - try green tea with sugar (it's got a great amount of caffeine in it), and I do recommend visiting the chiropractor because it could be posture!. Bending over to change a diaper so often, you tend to slouch a little!. If that doesn't work, tell your doctor to either see you or you're going into the emergency room!. Consistent headaches are a sign of a problem!. And if you have a spinal headache, you need immediate attention!. (They'll reopen the epidural space and inject fresh blood to patch the space, it's called a blood patch)!. But someone needs to help you asap!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Try HEAD ON Migraine, I know those are stupid commercials but I find it works, your ask your Dr to do an MRI just to make sure nothing is wrong!. A Blood clot can cause that!.
