Headache and nausea pms

I’ve been on wegovy since January, down about 35 lbs since then. I started having more side effects at 1.0 (nausea, headaches) and more severe at 1.7 (2 days of constant diarrhea). I asked my doc to put me back to 1.0 but she said the insurance company won’t let you stay at the smaller doses and that you have to get to 2.4 and that I should only inject half the 1.7 to get the lower dose.
I think she is full of crap. Anyone had a similar experience?

Hi! I am new to Reddit and this is my first post but man is it overdue. I’ve been following everyone’s posts and I can relate to everyone.
I do not have a diagnosis but I do have one with severe PMS. I’m 33F, pelvic ultrasound showed 1 hemorrhagic cyst on left ovary. My life is an absolute mess period time. My cycle is currently all over the place. 5 days early, 5 days late. The later the period. The worse the symptoms. I’m wondering if anyone can relate to my symptoms since I cannot seem to tie anything together. Few days before my period I get severely sick with stomach issues, vomiting, constipstion, indigestion, heartburn, just overall nasty to the point I can’t even get out of bed because of the nausea. Does anyone else get these symptoms? They seem to start to subside as soon as my period starts. Ovulation is another time where these stomach issues also flare up.
My hormones are identical to PMDD, I could cry, scream, fight, smash things, all within a few seconds.

5'5 154lbs 18F im having difficulty sleeping at night along with nausea and restlessness. i keep tossing and turning + the heat is killing me since I don't have air conditioning in my room. i can only sleep after 6 or 7 in the morning and never before that no matter how hard I try. it's accompanied by really bad nausea and sometimes dizziness and headaches. I've been applying a cold wet cloth to my forehead to calm down but it only works for some minutes. pls can someone tell me what's wrong

TLDR: I think I have preeclampsia and my doctor does not seem to think so. My request for a second opinion was refused. Do I have rights to get another before I leave or can they send me home?
I’m 35.5 weeks pregnant, 25F first time mom, gestational hypertension, .345 ratio on protein to urine on Monday, .25 ratio last week, .15 week before. I am taking labedelol 100mg 2x a day for the bp and it has been becoming less effective. I am having severe visual disturbances, shortness of breath, swelling in my face hands and feet, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and headaches.
I’ve been to the hospital a number of times for high BP, 150-165 over 100-115. With medication and time it usually goes down to 140/90ish.
I was admitted for monitoring yesterday for high blood pressure (166/102 was top reading in hospital with several more in the 160s over 105s). Resting heart rate on avg 120. My ratio at the hospital for urine was not at the .3.
My doctor says he is not worried. He previously told me that if my urine ratio goes to .3 I have preeclampsia. The hospitalist told me if I became preeclamptic with my blood pressure I’d most likely be delivered or at least admitted for monitoring.
My doctor said he believes the tests could be wrong and I am fine to go home. I asked for another doctor to look over things and the nurse told me they couldn’t do that because they’d already signed over my care to my OB.
What are my rights here? Am I wrong to be so nervous or does my doctor seem valid here? I recognize I am not a doctor and am just doing the best I can. I do not know what I can do to advocate for myself or if I need to.

Hello all. I want to thank this group. I went into my 1st routine colonoscopy without any procedure anxiety thanks to all the helpful posts.
It was originally scheduled for mid-March but I canceled due to being on antibiotics for a post-dental procedure infection and a leg injury suffered on a trail.
I did a low-residue, low-fiber diet starting 1 week before and a clear liquid diet yesterday. I ate less the last 2 days of the solid food diet.
I drank a lot of clear liquids. Between 8 am yesterday and 5:50 am today, I drank 2.6 gallons of fluids (dye-free Gatorade, white cranberry juice, apple juice, chicken broth, coconut water, tea, and water) and ate 8 servings of Jello (pineapple, lime, and lemon).
Prep was SuTab. 5:00 pm yesterday, I took a Zofran to help prevent nausea. This was automatically prescribed. 6:00 pm yesterday, I took the 1st bottle of pills, 250 mg of Gas-X, and drank the 1st 16 oz of water. 7:30 pm yesterday, I finished the 2nd and 3rd 16 oz of water. 7:45 pm yesterday, the SuTab started working. 2:50 am today, I took a Zofran. 3:50 am today, I did the 2nd half of the prep. 5:50 am today was when I had to stop everything by mouth. I managed to drink a 20 oz Gatorade Rapid Rehydration after finishing the 32 oz of water I had to drink after taking the SuTab pills. I finished it at 5:48 am. 8:50 am was check-in time for a 9:50 procedure. My procedure started 5 minutes early. I recovered from the Propofol much faster than they expected. Walked out of the clinic at 10:30 and was home at 11.
The worst part of the prep was the headache I got from only getting 3 hours of interrupted sleep and sleeping weird so my neck tightened up. And being very cold.
My biggest surprises were having no discomfort from the SuTab and how little time I spent in the bathroom. I expected to be in there for hours but I just did multiple quick trips. And peeing out the butt is extremely weird.
There was a single 3mm polyp that he removed and non-bleeding internal hemorrhoids that didn't require treatment. He said I don't have to come back for 7-10 years.

For context, i have both POTS and May Thurner Syndrome which causes lots of blood pooling in my legs on top of the pots (i don't faint with my pots, but i do tend to get dizzy). I would like to try a mobility aid because every time i go out, its painful for me to walk due to the blood pooling. If i don't sit down periodically, i tend to get very out of breath, have a racing heart, nausea, a headache and weird leg spasms. The problem is my parents, they don't think i need a mobility aid because they don't think I'm "sick enough" for one. They say they don't want myself to think I'm "disabled" and that i need exercise and that i can walk around a store. How can i convince them i feel a mobility aid will help me?

hello i just sent a message to my doctor about this but i was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what it might be or what i can research? my symptoms are pretty common so i understand if you guys can’t
heat intolerance-i used to wear sweatshirts 24/7 even in the hottest summer days now it hits like 60° and i have to lay in my bed naked because i’m overheating
random low grade fevers: i’ve noticed this for a couple of months pretty frequently i’ll get a low grade fever that’s like 99.6-100.5 when my body naturally rests at 98.5-98.7.
onset of headaches- i used to never get headaches to the point where i would literally brag about it not i get frequent moderate (they feel moderate-severe but im also not used to headaches so i’m prolly just being a baby)
memory worsening/blacking out chunks of my day-i have a ton of mental health issues and a past history of drug use that fucked up my memory really bad already but randomly it’s gotten excessively worse to the point it’s affecting work. I’ll do that thing where you walk in a room and go “what was i doing?” except i’ll do that an EXCESSIVE amount i did it more than 5 times in an hour and a half at work which is insane.
Tingling in hands and feet-just slight tingling and occasional itching or pain in my hands and feet, i’m diabetic so they’re thinking diabetic neuropathy for this.
maybe worth mentioning i just got not officially but pretty much diagnosed with pretty bad GERD that’s caused severe morning nausea for two years and then other classic symptoms started about 6 months ago and severe IBS-C that randomly came on in the past year i mean i went from never being constipated in my life to not shitting for 2 weeks going to the er because of the pain type shit

I just wanted to come here to see if anyones have a similar experience or could provide me with more information!! I've been taking pill for about two-ish months with not many symptoms or anything. I have PCOS and have always had an irregular period, so I've never tracked it until when I got it a month ago (probably because of the use of birth control regulating my period). I've been using Opill as a main form of birth control as condoms cause irritation, and my partner and I have little concern regarding STIs but mainly trying to avoid getting pregnant.
We've been very active sexually, and I take the pill at the exact time every single day and have yet to ever miss one or forget. This is my predicted day of ovulation, as my period was from April 30th-May 5th, but this is just in regards to my last period, so it could be inaccurate. I took an ovulation test just to see and I got a line (Natalist test) but it is fainter than the control so probably negative. Although, I'm having crazy symptoms such as breast tenderness, headaches, light nausea, and weirdly frequent urination recently. I'm not sure if this is the pill, ovulation, or if I'm possibly pregnant (hoping not!!) and I'm just trying to see if anyones had similar scares or situations.

I got my period last May 4-6 and it bothers me because it is shorter than usual and a bit lighter. Also, I've been experiencing pregnancy symptoms; nausea, lower back pain, headaches, palpitations. I also feel like my breasts are getting bigger but it doesn't hurt.
Yesterday and today, I took a pregnancy test and both showed negative. I'm still worried because the pregnancy test might gave me a false negative result. Can I order in advance in WoW even if I'm not (sure) I'm pregnant? I'm from Philippines and I heard that it would take weeks for the pills to come that's why I'm planning to buy in advance in case unexpected things happens.
PS: My boyfriend and I never had sex. But he would rub it outside and attempts to put it inside. Also, he spilled it on my stomach and it dripped all the way down to my v part but I'm not sure if it went inside me. I'm overthinking right now. So bad.

Hi all,
I grind my teeth at night for a few years now (sometimes chirping as I do and it wakes up my partner). I have the following symptoms and I was wondering if these are related, or due to something more serious.

1. Dull headache with full feeling. Often there is pain around my jaw bones but also up into my temples and other parts of my head. It’s both sides of the head often but sometimes more on one side.
   
2. Dizziness that comes on suddenly or gradually depending on the day. This can last and define the whole day sometimes. Head feels wobbly.
   
3. Trouble looking left to right suddenly (moving head side to side). Some dizziness episodes have been triggered by this.
   
4. Nausea, regardless of lying down or sitting.
   
5. Wobbly hands and feet sometimes.
   
6. Tinnitus in left ear for almost 2 years now.
   

Any advice or confirmation from others about these symptoms would be greatly appreciated as my mind wanders to more serious issues often, and unfortunately it’s not so simple to get a brain scan here.
Thank you

So my period is about a day or two late. I usually get ovulation symptoms as well as PMS symptoms that vary. Not every cycle but this one in particular has been so bad. I have had palpitations for the last 3 days that come and go. Sometimes its throat palpitations sometimes chest. I have told both my gyn and primary care about these palpitations as well as a shortness of breath that seems to only happen in my luteal phase. BOTH have brushed me off suggesting Birth control which in one case I tried and worsened these symptoms plus added insomnia to the mix (after 4 months or so) also I am 31, with 2 kids and feel like my birth control window is passing. My gyn mentioned that breathing issues and abnormal heart rate is normal in the luteal phase.
I realize that I am very sensitive to caffeine at this time so I had had to cut out coffee. This sucks because my energy is literally ZAPPED and will literally doze off. My breathing also affects my jogs which sucks because those usually give some energy. Insane amounts of gas/berping for no reason. I have CRAZY cravings and terrible acne all over. I also have headaches and backaches that come and go. I am just so over it and was wondering if anyone has anything similar and can share some coping mechanisms.

I've been on Oz for about a month and a half, and have been working out on par with the medication. At first I was doing a short version of my workout routine, as I was getting back in condition, but now I've increased the weight I'm lifting and the time I do cardio. I've had one dosage increment, which gave me some side effects (nausea, headache) but I was able to keep training. This week, though, I've felt hungrier than ever before, and I don't know if it is because of my workouts. As far as weight loss goes, I've lost about 25 pounds and haven't put on more weight lately, but I'm a bit worried about the hunger stuff. Has anybody experienced this?

Long story short, I was on Lexapro for ~5 years. I felt like it wasn’t working as well anymore so I got off, tried other meds, had awful experiences, and then went unmedicated.
Proceeded to have some of the worst days of my life off medication.
So now, I’m back on. I used to take 20mg but now I’m tapering back on at 5mg. I’m on day 4 and I know it takes time but I feel awful. I was hoping I wouldn’t have side effects since I was on it before, but the nausea, dizziness, and headaches are killing me. I keep having to call off work or leave early.
Anyone else get off and then get back on? What was your experience?

I will make daily updates in here. It's been quite a journey for me. Will post my history prior to effexor below.. So far am on day 3.

My story and history :
since December I have been suffering with anxiety which has progressively gotten worse to the point where it has made me depressed as well. As of this post I am at an all time low and am in desperate need of relief. If you make it to the end I will explain what I am going through.
I am a male in my late 30s and have had two bouts of anxiety / depression in my life both of which lasted 3 months (2015 and 2020), and were cured with therapy. This time seems different..
I have a very stressful job which requires me to work 7 days a week with the only break being when I take vacation or slow times in the industry. It pays really well and helps me provide my wife and two young kids a good life so I put up with it in the hopes I can manage the stress better in time. I mention the above because I truly believe it has alot to do with the state I am in now.
I have always been caring, outgoing, light natured, and humerous throughout my life and also pretty sensative. I really want to go back to that and hope treatment will help.
I also realize I am my own worst enemy in getting treatment as you will see in the paragraphs below.
When I was a teenager into my early twenties I was carefree and would try most drugs to fit in. Extacy, lsd, mushrooms, pills, etc.. Never touched the extremely hard stuff. Marijuana was my best friend and I smoked a ton of it. Hello panic attack! I remember the first time I got one after smoking Marijuana in my early twenties. It was horrible! I couldn't smoke Marijuana anymore afterwards because it would induce a panic attack. I told myself it was God's sign telling me to stop so I did. I haven't smoke Marijuana since.
Fast forward a few years from then I was introduced to a medical condition called gout. It is very painful and the first time I was treated for it I was given narcotic pain medication and an anti inflammatory. I took both when I got home and it provided relief. Being this was my first experience, I wanted to research gout a little more and I did just that on the internet. Here comes the part where my life changed for the worse..
For some reason, I also asked google if you could overdose on the pain medication I was currently taking. No clue why I wanted to know but as soon as I read you could, I instantly had the worst panic attack I ever experienced.
Ever since that point in my life I have refused to take medication in fear of another panic attack. From that point forward, my mind associated taking medication with panic. For the years afterwards I always had a panic attack when I tried to take anything including something as simple as advil.
Anytime I would be prescribed something I would obsessively research it, watch videos on it, read reviews, etc.. I would psych myself out and not take it.
Fast forward to 2015 when I finally moved out of my parents house. I won't go too much into it but I had my first bout of extreme anxiety and depression from it. It was a big change for me and it took a few months to pull myself out of it with the help of a therapist.
Life was absolutely WONDERFUL after that. I was on my own, found the love of my life, got married in 2018, and was the happiest I had ever been.
2020 was my second episode of anxiety and depression. In a matter of 6 months I lost my grandmother, godmother, my one year old boxer puppy, and my father in law. I also had my first child. Not to mention it was covid time...After everything settled down from the chaos it hit me like a ton of bricks. Bam!..anxiety and depression. It was awful and I knew I needed help. I started therapy and it helped tremendously. It was suggested that I also see a pyschiatrist. I did and he prescribed me prozac to take along with therapy. I was not going to take it. We all know how I am with my phobia of medication.
One day I said screw it and out of nowhere threw it in my mouth and swallowed. I expected the worse. Nothing happened...I continued to take it for 4 days and didn't notice anything bad happening to me. I was happy about that.
The 5th day I had a panic attack because I started to feel really strange. I don't remember exactly how I felt but I remember calling my sister and telling her I feel really weird. She assured me it is normal and to keep on which I did.
The 6th day I took my pill in the AM and all was well. I was tired so I stayed in bed. Out of nowhere I felt a rush of bad bad bad energy take over my body. It is hard to explain. It was like a rush of anxiety but with it was a sense of hopelessness and dread. I had experienced in my first bout back in 2015 but not this severe. I was scared and called my psychiatrist and left a message. I immediately went to my mother's and cried cried cried. The feeling subsided. My psychiatrist called me back very quickly and when I explained what I felt he told me to stop taking it and to take the ativan he prescribed if needed.
I stopped the medication and never took an ativan. I got better over the next couple months through therapy and all was well.
I did have a tiny breakthrough and convinced myself to take a medication to stop my reoccurring gout attacks. It is called allopurinol and is regarded as one of the safest medications out there. It took alot of courage and of coarse I read every review there is on it but I eventually just threw it in my mouth and fell asleep. Have been taking it daily for two years now.
Fast forward to December of last year 2023. The stress from work and medical issues throughout 2023 must have built up and I had a breakdown. I started to get anxiety and small feelings of the hopelessness I mentioned above. December into January into February I dealt with it and kept telling myself it will pass like the other times. It didn't and kept getting worse. I finally sought help from a psychologist in late February / early March. After the first few sessions I would immediately get a high from the previous hours talk. It was fantastic but eventually wore off a few hours later.
The anxiety I was experiencing / am experiencing is absolutely horrible. Non stop jaw clenching, chest pains, tension, blurred vision, lack of good sleep, extremely heightened senses, etc. I am good at telling myself it is anxiety and will go away. I don't freak out over it into full blown panic but I feel like I am always borderline panic while also being exhausted. It's very uncomfortable. I have had multiple health checkups and all is fine.
I decided to call my old psychiatrist because it had been 3 months with minimal relief. I was told he was retiring and he referred me to someone else who I am now seeing.
He prescribed me Paxil and klonopin in marxh and of coarse my phobia stopped me from taking it. We did a gene test to see which medicine would work for me and paxil was a good fit. I just couldn't do it. For the next few weeks I seemed to be getting better by getting out and doing things. I even started fishing again which was a huge passion of mine. Things were looking up!
Anxiety was going from an all day thing to maybe a couple hours type of thing! I was hopeful...
Let me introduce you to my buddy kidney stones...
Middle of April I woke up to EXCRUCIATING pain. I eventually went to the ER that day after hours of suffering and they told me I had 2 kidney stones. They sent me home with the same narcotic pain medication that started my panic attack journey when I was younger and also some other medication. From that Tuesday to Thursday I was in crippling pain and refused the pain medication. It got to a point where I almost blacked out from the pain so I had no choice but to take it. I popped it and finally got some sleep. I think I didn't freak out after taking it because my body was in shock from the pain. I woke up 30 minutes later to the excruciating pain again and said enough was enough. I went back to the ER and they did an emergency surgery and put a Stent in me to stop the pain. It worked and was a huge relief.
After catching up on sleep and recovering, I started to get my anxiety back. The next two weeks while waiting on my second surgery my anxiety, which was on the right path prior to this stone, came back to it's previous 10/10 levels. Jaw clenching, blurred vision, etc..
I toughened it out AND not to mention, completed a full 14 day coarse of a strong antibiotic due to a kidney infection! I was so proud of myself. With my newfound proudness, I called my Pyschiatrist and set up an appointment for the following week after my second surgery to discuss some things.
I had my second surgery last Friday the 3rd and they removed both stones. I went home Friday night with another stent in me which I was told to remove from home on Monday by pulling a string that was hanging out of my penis head (sorry for TMI) which in turn pulls the stent from my kidney down and out through my penis. I did that on Monday and it wasn't bad at all.
The Saturday after my surgery went fine. I'm sure I felt good because I was still coming off anesthesia but boy o boy that Sunday I woke up after sleeping 12 hours to a horrible panic attack. Imagine waking up from a dead sleep to the biggest adrenaline dump you could imagine. It was awful and lasted ALL day! I experienced derealization and every symptom you can think off. I should have taken a klonopin but my phobia told me it would make it worse so I didn't. It settled down into the evening and I was absolutely exhausted.
Monday I woke up to another panic attack but not as severe and Tuesday another panic attach which was even less severe. Wednesday the same and this morning has been the first morning I haven't woken up to an adrenalin dump. With that being said, this whole week has been absolutely horrible with 10/10 anxiety. I rarely get breaks from it. At night it calms down and I feel normal. Because of that, I chase that normal feeling and stay up way too late lol.
Anyway, leading up to my psychiatry appointment today, the last few weeks I have been obsessively looking up the 2 ssris and 1 snri my gene test said I was compatible with. Prozac (go figure), paxil, and effexor. I was also compatible with welbutrin.
Paxil I am terrified of because it is supposedly the dirtiest and worst for weight gain (I am a 240lb male).
Prozac I tried previously and I think I didn't give it enough time. I am not 100% sure that dread / hopeless feeling was suicide ideation but the feeling is in a class of its own compared to my normal anxiety.
Effexor I am scared of because of the withdrawel and alot of YouTube reviewers said it made them feel high and wired for the beginning. The horror stories of coming off it scares me too.
Welbutrin I hear great things about but heard it is bad for anxiety which is my main concern.
My overall fear is that any of these will make me lose control and make me not myself. I am also scared that I don't remember what normal feels like and feeling normal will scare me. Crazy to say that. Ultimately he prescribed me Effexor 37.5 for 2 weeks and then upping it to 75mg. He said to take the klonopin if I need it starting up. I have 15 of them.
I know I need to do something because I can't live like this. My wife, my 4 yr old, and my 2 yr old need their father and husband back. It's not fair to them. I'm tired of staying in bed all day. I'm tired of not caring if I wake up. I'm tired of not being the best employee I can be, I'm tired of not being in contact with my friends anymore, I'm tired of not caring about my hobbies, Im tired of being tired, and most importantly I'm tired of feeling like this.
I will start the effexor and update this thread with my progress.

My bf and I had protected sex 16 days ago. Now I know what you’re thinking - “you had protected sex why are you even asking”, and well… I’m paranoid and we also didn’t check for leaks. I’m on the combo pill and have taken it every night no more than 3 hours past when I normally do. Most nights this month I have taken it at the exact same time. Recently, I’ve noticed my areolas seem biggelarger. My boobs don’t hurt nor do they seem dense much bigger though. I also had very bad nausea and GI issues last night into this morning but I’m not sure if that’s caused by a heavy/greasy dinner I had last night. I’ve experienced some slight cramping the last week but no spotting. I took an early detection preg test this morning and got a negative back. I will be leaving for vacation in a few days and will not have access to a test by day 21. I am also taking my next pack asap as to skip my withdrawal bleed (due in 3 days) also b/c of my vacation so I will not bleed for another month. I am not sure if the changes in my nipples are due to the pill I’m on, if it’s a pms symptom, if I’m over thinking it, or if there is a small chance I’m pregnant. Any advice helps

okay just looking to see if anyone else has been through this cause i’m tired of it already 🥲
i started jasmiel, the combo pill on may 5th, a sunday. i noticed almost immediately after i started getting headaches, nausea, etc. the headaches have since gone away but my nausea usually kicks in 3-4 hours after taking the pill, even with food?! but also, my breasts have been extremely sore to the touch on the outsides almost as if they are growing? it’s been like this for about a week and i was curious if anyone else dealt with that pain and if it went away or if they did have any kind of.. growth? sorry if this is confusing, im just curious lol

does anyone else deal with awful pms? i have the worst headaches, nausea and overall fatigue a few days before my period and it’s almost debilitating. nothing helps but im desperate to try anything so any tips are appreciated, i absolutely hate knowing this is going to happen every single month 😕

Hi, I decided today to stop taking yaz. I was on the pill for almost a year, starting at 19. Before starting birth control I had very small breasts (too small for any bra size). They were basically just two nipples😅 Nothing to do with weight gain, I was always underweight and still am. Almost an immediate body response to the pill was my breasts became bigger and fuller. And now I'm 70A. I really love my body I feel much more feminine having breasts. I know I should love myself and accept the way my body is naturally. But I really got used to the change and I love the way I am now.. Even if they're still small, at least I feel like they exist. I feel like how my body is now if how it's supposed to be, I feel comfortable in my skin and my bra size feels very natural. It'll feel very wrong to me to return to before. I'm really scared of them shrinking and returning to the way they used to be. I continued to take these hormones even tho they influenced on my body badly (daily migraines and headaches, occasional nausea and vomiting. Fatigue all the time.. Things I never dealt with before). The reason why I didn't stop was because I feared I'll lose my breasts after stopping the hormones. Since I still have intercorse with my bf and I hate condoms I will try birth control again. But with lower estrogen levels, hoping the side effects won't affect my life this way to not being able to function as well as I used to. I wanted to ask for others experiences, will they return to their original size and shrink? Did it happen to you? Am I just overreacting?

I’m on day 13 of bupropion at 150 XR and have been tolerating it okay until yesterday. I got a migraine around 4 PM and it lasted all night. When I was driving home from work, I puked a ton in my car and felt horrible the whole night. This morning I woke up feeling a bit better but still nauseous and with a headache. I messaged my dr and he told me to stop taking it but I’m conflicted. I feel like it’s been helping my depression symptoms and I’ve only had one really bad day of side effects. Should I give it more time or stop taking it? Has anyone else experienced horrible migraines and nausea?

Hi everyone. I’m 26F, 165cm 59kgs. I got new glasses about a month ago and wore them. The prescription was the same but I got headaches and nausea from them. I figured whatever I’ll continue to wear them and I’ll adjust eventually.
2 weeks on the headaches and nausea were so severe that I had to take them off and return to my old glasses that I had no issues with. I thought that would be the end of it and the nausea and headaches would go. The prescription was the same anyway so I wasn’t sure why I had issues in the first place.
They ended up steadily increasing. The pain peaked over the weekend now I have low level pain, feeling of pressure in my forehead and a lot of nausea, carsick feeling. I’ve taken paracetamol, ibuprofen, then migraine relief tablets containing codeine and none of them relieve the pain fully.
My biggest concern is the dizziness and nausea that is constant. I had my eyes rechecked and my ears looked at. My eyes had no changes but with my ears they said it looks like minor mucus behind the eardrum but not enough to cause my symptoms.
They gave me a decongestant to open up my sinuses. Nothing has helped with the nausea and pressure feeling. Initially I thought it was eye problems but that’s been ruled out. Now mind is saying either it’s an ear problem or something sinister like a tumour. I feel stupid for being so worried about it but it’s constant discomfort and nausea, dull ache and pressure across my forehead and in my ears. I’m probably making it worse with my worrying. Am I being stupid for wanting an MRI or CT scan ? It’s only been a week of these constant symptoms.
Edit: no chance I am pregnant
