Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: I dont get it (I kinda go off on a rant!!)

Thanks all for your help. I seemed to have another attack today for what seems to me no reason! I'm in a wedding tommorow and bit stressed, so who knows.

Toady: Thanks for your advice. I didnt realize that migraines can last that long! Mine went away and then came back again. I've been popping tylenol like its my job. I dont know what else to take. I do get the "Auras". I used to get those a lot and then wouldnt really have much of a headache after. So I kinda dismissed it. Then not that long ago I had the worse headache of my life! I mean I was down for the count for about 10 days. So finally I went into the doctor and she did a catscan of my head and said I had "chronic sinus problems". So I chalked it all up to that. But this recent headache seems different. I even felt a bit nauseous and lights were horrible! I also get those "ice pick" headaches where its shooting horrible pain throughout my head. Fortunetly it only lasts for like 5 seconds, but it has almost knocked me off my feet before. In fact I got about 3 of them yesterday- pretty much in the middle of my already killer headache. So I dont know whats going on with me now. My electrolytes are low because I dont eat enough, so maybe thats whats triggering this headache?? My blood pressure is always low. A normal one for me is 120/55. Thats high for me. At times its been in the 90's. I am also dizzy a lot I guess due to the B.P and the low electrolytes. Who knows anymore! Oh and I dont drink any caffiene. Ever since my heart surgery I have direct orders to stay away from it. My job is stressful too. I teach first grade in the inner city. So I am sure that doesnt help. Oh well. I just hope that this stuff behaves tommorow for me while I am in my friends wedding! Thanks again for your help and advice. Do you think I should go to the doctor about the headache? This is like day 8 of it! Thanks again!
