I went to the doctor last week for my headaches. They're extremely bad and have been going on for a few months. I get them every day from within the first hour I wake up till I go to sleep. I usually take motrin or advil but that doesn't always help. I've also throw up a couple times and I wake up in the middle of the night from my headaches. I'm having a CAT Scan on tuesday because of it. But I'm just wondering what could be the cause of my headaches. Please respond. Thanks so much in advance.

hco_babe answered Monday February 27 2006, 3:04 pm: my brother has the same problem as you. he recently got a catscan and found out it was sinuses. that could be the cause of it. but since youve thrown up from them, i think they are migraines. if so, you'll probably get put on a medicine to take every night and they will go away. (the most newest and common medicine for migraines it topomax.) im no doctor, but thats just what i think. = ) [ hco_babe's advice column | Ask hco_babe A Question ]

I'm not poking fun at you, its just that headaches can be caused by a million things. MOST are nothing major you need to worry about.
The main reason a doctor will do a CAT scan is to rule out what it ISN'T. If it turns out normal, and it probably will, it could still be a million things. The doctor just knows it isn't anything major.
Almost everything can cause a headache. Including sleeping to much or not enough. Allergies, some medicines actually give you a headache, sometimes if you stop taking something for a headache (aspirin or Tylenol, that will give you a headache.
So try not to worry about it to much. Having a CAT scan doesn't mean the doctor thinks there is something major wrong with you. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
