I've had the most wierd head for the last 2 days :-( it's not a headache as in pain but I get a bit off balance, not dizzy then get hot and anxious then it passes in 10 seconds! Been coming and going and end up with a heavy head, sore eyes and teeth! I've taken a migraleve today and read up on hormone headaches but they all make it sound like they're paingul headaxhes whereas mines more of a heavy head. Anyone else suffering with a 'funny' head?! x

    That's exactly what I get. I find it so hard to explain it, cos it's not a proper headache I just feel like I've got a heavy head with slight lightheadedness and sometimes I feel a bit sick as well. My head sometimes feels too heavy for my shoulders!!!!! I get it all the time and it's horrible.

    I get that headache too and take Migraleave as soon as it starts. It is related to hormones. I also find that if I put a heated wheat bag around the back of my neck asap it helps relieve symptoms. As the tension in the neck can make it worse. I also discovered that if I have my PC or IPAD on full brightness it can trigger this. So turn your PC and IPAD to its dimissed level. You will get used to working on it but many people suffer from this type of headache from our screen devises being too bright. See discussions on the internet especially about IPAD's.
