Constant Migraine

Posted , 3 users are following.

For years I've had this constant head pain, everyday. Because of it I consume insane amounts of caffine. I am constantly fatigued, my throat is sore, I can't breathe out of my nose, I have constant dry mouth and I am really irritable all the time. I can hardly remember anything because of how painful it is. I don't know what's causing it. I had a cat scan done a year ago and they said everything was fine. A doctor diagnosed me with a mood disorder because when the caffine wears off the headache comes back so it makes it seem like I have bipolar disorder. I don't know what to do

    Hi Jdpope07 - I would suggest that with imbibing insane amounts of coffee you are feeding an addiction to coffee. The migraines come when you stop drinking it. I also wondered whether posture might have something to do with it. I get migraines after sitting at a computer screen for a long time. Sometimes we slouch and get the back out of whack, so that might contribute. Meanwhile, can your doc give you something for the pain? While you wean yourself of the caffeine? Could all that coffee be the cause of your dry mouth?
