Diagnose me - Headaches - almost every day

sunnyside1213

Migraines run in my mother's side of the family. We've recently discovered that it is caused by food allergies/intolerances. I had what was essentially a year-long migraine until I had a blood test done for food intolerances. I've since cut out the foods that popped up on the test and I haven't had a migraine (or other very nasty symptoms) since, unless i ate some of those foods again.

You may want to look into getting a blood test done yourself.

This. ^ If you open your food diary, it would help to answer your question. How clean are you eating? Lots of people are allergic to processed foods.

Myself, my 19 year old and my 14 year old all get migraines from eating anything with gluten in it. Food intolerances can result in headaches so you might want to consider that after having whatever medical tests you're looking into.

Admittedly I didn't read through all the posts, so someone might've suggested it already, but maybe focus more on the walks rather than the elliptical. Try to do a daily walk (even if it's short) outdoors. I had the same deal as you, but I've found that daily fresh air made the headaches stop. Or, I would have a headache, go for a walk outdoors and then it'd be gone.

I have had them, found a headache specialist and was diagnosted with migraines. Had them 15-20 days a month. I have medication now to stop the migraine when it starts, as well as prophylactic drug that I take on daily basis and got down to 4-10 attacks a month.

I recommend finding a headache specialist. I had to go private but the money I spent was well worth it
