Message: <blockquote data-quote="JoKalsbeek" data-source="post: 2743919" data-attributes="member: 401801">I have migraines, have had them all my life, but lately I've had the same kind of pain but in different areas than what I'm used to: the intensity is much the same though. Both eyes just about burn out of my head, but mainly the back of my head and neck will be killing me, besides nausea as a cherry on top: turns out it's a blood pressure thing. If you can get yourself a cuff to see what your blood pressure gets up to when this happens, that'd be helpful, potentially... Before you take more salt rather than cutting back, as more salt would make things a lot worse if it is a high blood pressure issue. My doc recommended over-the-counter ibuprofen for the pain, which helps in about 30 to 45 minutes after taking it, though I'm not supposed to have NSAIDs. (If the pain is bad enough though, I'll take the weeks-long nosebleeds without complaint!). Good luck getting definitive answers, and treatment to suit!Hugs,Jo</blockquote>
