Is it headache to be a landlord? Any bad experience?

I have had a 5 month headache?

  • All right -- This is a long one. This headache started around Thanksgiving this year, and after a week of having it (waking up with the headache, going to sleep with it, and waking up with it again), I went to the doctor. He told me that because I was not having coordination problems that it probably wasn't a blood clot or tumor, but either way, he had me scheduled for a CAT scan. The next day, the CAT scan came out clean. There was nothing wrong with my brain, everything was entirely normal. Two months later, I have still had the headaches every day, but one day, I lose vision in my right eye for about 30 minutes. It didn't go black, but it was almost like a giant floater. I had woken up with the headache, so it wasn't like I got the headache AFTER the vision loss. 15 minutes later, I vomitted. I went back to the doctor and got referred to a neurologist. After getting an EKG on my heart, because holes in the heart can cause headaches, I am told a few days later that I have a minor heart problem. I go to the cardiologist and they tell me that one of the chordae tendinae on my tricuspid valve has broken, but this is NOT what's causing the headaches. They say I was probably born with it, and it's not a big deal. Either way, I've had this headache for five months, and I want to know if ANYONE has any information or experience. I'm so tired of not being able to sleep, or being woken up by this headache, or not going out because I feel like ****. Or even worse, not being able to concentrate on something because this headache is so debilitating at times. The pain can be on either side of my head, and it will sometimes crawl down my neck and jaw. It gets worse when I lie down, laugh, sneeze, cough, etc. I often lose my hearing in one ear or the other. I'm not light sensitive. I don't get auras. I don't think it's my period, nor do I think it's a migraine as the neurologist doesn't seem to either. PLEASE help.

    Take a pregnancy test just to rule that out.

im deeply sorry for you, you perhaps have a pinched/twisted nerve in your neck, has anything traumatic happened to your neck over 5 months ago? serious hit to the neck, fell down and neck bent with fall etc.. best wishes @ kimberly- The brain is 99% water FYI

i can't explain the giant floater or the hearing loss. the giant floater can be from you nearly passing out from taking too much pain pills that might have lowered your blood pressure. but i really dont' know. who told you that holes in your heart can cause headaches? that does make sense to you or anyone? twenty five percent of us have a patent foramen ovale. it rarely causes any problems. basically it's rare. if it's not a head bleed or aneurysm then the next obvious possibility is muscle tension headache. so, first things first. get a new doctor. really. second, palpate or feel the area of the head that's painful. if you can touch it and reproduce the pain, then it's not inside your head but on the outside structures of your head. you have fascia or connective tissue covering your scalp. if you have tight upper traps or the muscles of the neck it could pull on those structures and make them painful. there are other neck muscles that can get sore too (including the ones in the front like on either side of your throat, and even next to your ear). feel around there too and see if you reproduce the pain by palpating them. if you can reproduce your pain by palpation, then get a referal to see a physical therapist so that you can get those painful spots massaged out. do not let anyone place any electrodes on you to do electric muscle stimulation. it doesn't work for your condition and it might make it worse. they just use it get reimbursed for more money. hot pack, warm baths, jacuzzis, stretching, massage (#1 remedy for muscle tension headache), and maybe temporarily using a neck brace for a few days at a time or few hours at a time might help too. when your symptoms subside, consider taking yoga, not pilates. if sleeping hurts your head, then you might want to consider new sleeping arrangements. if your pain cannot be reproduced by palpation, then i don't know what's going on and thus ignore what i wrote.
