Horrible headaches and neck pain

Hi. I get neck ache but it's an ache like a pulled muscle or something, I get it for about a week before period then for the first couple of days or so, stops, then starts again after ovulation x

HI Sophie

It could be hormonal but also neck pain can easily cause headaches. And neck pain itself can also come from stress/tension holding too much tension in your trapius or upper back muscles. I have this sometimes and physio/ chiropractor can really help.

I just went through this last week with a side of anxiety attacks too. I went to the e.r. twice last week because if this and they gave me hydroxyzine HCl to rake daily. Well who new that my migraines and right side of my neck pains were both due to anxieties! The first pill they gave me in the e.r . and I have been taking one daily (although it says 3 x's daily) I've only had to take it once daily and all three symptoms are completely gone!

I had neck problem early peri.

Driving was awful every time I had to look left and right and grinding sounds like I needed oiling.

Neck troubles do give you headaches.

Mine went off for several years then came back for a while later on close to the end of periods. At this point it wasn't so often but I'd wake up with it painful in the mornings wearing off as the day progressed.

I had one really bad day with it after that last year where I couldn't turn my head and took paracetamol all day but was better the following morning.

Sounds like a pinched nerve..call your doctor. I have a broken neck and a bad lower back from an accident. Your simptoms sound like stuff I have had in the past and still live with. Get help. Those headaches will drain your body and mind. Good Luck

yes, as a matter of fact I'm suffering like that right now. My neck has been just like you described for a couple of months. This is day 3 with the severe headache. I've had upset stomach, and my teeth and jaws hurt too.
