i have really bad headaches that cause me to get so nausous that i throw up. it feel like a baseball bat hitting the back of my skull doing about ninety. even the smell of food during this time makes me sick and i cant get rid of the pain even when im lying in a dark room witth a towel overr my eyes. can anyone offer advice on how to treat this? have tried over the counter stuff, but it doesnt touch the pain.

see your doctor.Over the counter meds don't always work with migrains, you could start getting on a course of beta blockers that lessen the frequency and strength of your migrains and get other meds thaqt specifically target migrain and the nasty side effects.The doctor will run tests to make sure its migrain,some of us have what they call clusterr headaches as well simalar to migrain but treated differant.Migrain drugs attack the swelling that happens in the blood vessles in your head it may take a while to find the right combos but its better than suffering like you are now.
some over the counter meds can cause rebound headaches too your body gets to wanting that med and gives you a headache.Right down when you get your headaches what you ate or did that day and what the weather was like take that to your doctor so you can better determin your headache triggers and get treatment.I have these around 18 times a month its not fun.
let me know how you are. take care of yourself.I hope you can start to feel better soon.

I have chronic daily migraines. I find that if you put a cool cloth over your eyes. Drink cold water, and put an ice pack at the base of your skull it helps maybe a little, you need to see a dr. there are so many meds you can try ask your dr. for samples, keep a migraine or headache log to take to the dr. include what you ate that day you may see a patern. good luck!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
