Migraine Headaches Support Group
Migraine is a neurological disease, of which the most common symptom is an intense and disabling episodic headache. Migraine headaches are usually characterized by severe pain on one or both sides of the head and are often accompanied by photophobia (hypersensitivity to light), phonophobia (hypersensitivity to sound) and nausea.
Does anyone else get headaches, or even ongoing migrains after crying?
It's almost like a sinus headache! Oh it's horrible. And they hurt so much.
I had one last me two days. A MIGRAINE, because I cried for 20 minutes.
Of course, my birth control may have something to do with the intensity of the migraines.
But does anyone know how I can prevent this from happening?
Other than the obvious, don't cry.
But with depression, that's a bit hard to do.
Thanks,
Nicole

I was in the ER once for a severe stomach problem, (I had been in the waiting room for 6 hours), when I started to cry. Well, the ER nurse was telling me to calm down and breathe, or else I would trigger a migraine!
And she was right! I was admitted 2 hours later with a severe migraine and stomache blockage. I stayed in the hospital for 6 days.
I try not to cry with grandeur! I just let tears roll down my face if they must........
Do you journal your migraines? I just made a super long post in the "Chronic migraines for over a year" thread where I talked about this. I'm sorry I can't repeat it right now, my wrist hurts so bad I can't type any more! :( I really apologize. I am a mess tonight (migraine, back pain off the charts, carpal tunnel acting up, depressed...etc). Thankful I'm seeing my pain doc tomorrow.
