Does anyone get headaches or migraines when they go to work?

I do if I don't have something to eat in the morning or get enough sleep the night before. Plus, it's very noisy at my work... That doesn't help.

I've had migraines for over 13 years, they started at age 5 (probably earlier, but thats the 1st remembered/documented) It could be a number of things. 1st, you HAVE to know your triggers, it took me 5 years to find them all and now I have "names" for each and even take different pills, for instance, my "weather migraines" will only go away with Vicodin, however, that doesn't help for my other trigger. Peanut butter is another of my triggers, certain smells and certain light wavelengths also. I find that when I'm in a store with that harsh florescent light they use, that is also a trigger after 20 minutes or so, I know this sounds corny, but you have to keep a migraine diary so you know your triggers. I also see another possible one there, STRESS. I know there was one job I stressed over going to because of a certain person, so I would always end up with a migraine the 1st 10 minutes of getting there (I'm sooo not kidding). You need to find ways of de-stressing and preventative care (like make sure you eat small snacks, another trigger of mine is an empty stomach) So, My money is on either: A. The lights or B. Stress of actually being there. You might also look into the possibility of it being smells.. there are certain smells for me that are triggers (popcorn, I know, it sucks, I love to eat it but if Im in a room with any, BAM! Instant migraine!) there may be something in the air there causing the migraine. If its not a smell, it may be the clanking of the register, not only is one of my triggers light waves but frequency waves as well! LOL Yeah, Lucky for me, I know ALL my triggers! But it's been pretty bad, they get nasty! I recommend that you go there on your day off and see what happens. GOOD LUCK!

do you have any problem at work...does anyone is bullying you...are you in contact with any thing while you are going to work like air pollution...how long have you had this for....apart from headache do you have any other symptoms like nausea...do you get headache when you do not go to work....?if you take some time off from work and then go to the same place everyday do you still get headache?if not there is nothing between your home or place you go.....if you go to your work place and get headache there might be something at work...even if you go during the weekend...otherwise there might one person at work who is abusing you...in that case change your job...make sure you do not take any drugs..these drugs can be very dangerous..they are just there as a lazy solution for the problems and just to make drug companies rich out of idiot people

There are many things that could be causing your headaches: - stress - fluorescent lighting, especially if flickering - lighting that is too weak or too strong - airconditioning (insufficient, too hot, too cold, stale air) - bad posture - register placed too low or too high - perfumes or fragrances - too much noise or irritating noise - work you hate - people you cannot stand - not having a proper meal before work - not having enough sleep the night before If your register has a screen, then here are a couple more items which could be causing your headaches: - looking at a screen which has a slight flicker - irritating light reflections on the screen These are known as headache "triggers". The article listed below lists many common headache and migraine triggers.

Easy thing to say would be to not go to work, but that isn't an option for most of us. The cause of some of my headaches is due to the flourescent lighting. Since you are a cashier and can't change the type of lighting, I am not sure what you can do about this. Chances are that you are not getting migraines, they may be stress headaches. When your eyes are straining too hard to focus and working too hard. I would suggest talking with your boss to do something with the lighting. Hope this helps!

Stress. Might not even be work stress and may be subconscious. But it's probably stress. Eat raw vegetables and drink lots of water, also work on posture (like other people said.) But make sure your being true to yourself and not over working, also getting enough sleep!

Every single day I get headaches and migraines at work and school. It's ridiculous! I always have Motrin handy in my purse, so it can ease my head pain for atleast 8 hours, because then it wears off... Happy holidays beautiful!

I use to work in catering & got headaches all the time.It took months of headbanging before i realised what caused it. I had my hair tied back too tight.As soon as I tied it back that little bit looser I was fine.

i have worked as a cashier at dairy queen,and i got headaches like you do.its because of stress at work.i got it alot
