Hello. . I just join this group recently and i need some advices on my migrain that getting worst these few months. I am 27 tis year and i've been experiencing migrain for 7 years. I am worry as my condition is getting worst these few months. The sudden pain will occur anytime and i am taking a medicine named Decolgen to control the pain. The pain will cause vomit too. I've seen doctor for twice explaining my condition but the doctor said it is just a normal migrain and it could be a sinus headache. Should i go for further check up or just treat as a normal sinus headache ?

    Do you have sinus issues? My ear, nose and throat Dr sent me to a neurologist, telling me that my sinus pain was probably migraine. The neurologist told me that my symptoms sound like migraines. I'd see a good ear, nose and throat Dr, if you keep having problems. Sinus headaches can make you physically ill, but there is an unerlying cause that should be addressed.

      Correction: the neurologist told me that my symptoms sound like sinus headaches, not migraines. Can you tell that I'm having problems now? I can't think straight! cry

      I would try to resolve the sinus problems first. My allergist also suffers from migraines, and she said that they are one of the worst problems to treat. She said that a neurologist would rather treat someone with a brain tumor than a migraine, because it's an easier problem to solve.

    I know how you feel.

    I am currently suffering with chronic sinusitis have appointments with ENT next month.

    The sinus triggers of my miagraine and it's a double whack of pain

    The sinus symptoms

    1. Pain in my jaw

    2. Pain in the sinus area

    3. Pain in ears

    4. Temperatures

    5. Headaches

    6. Swelling in sinus area

    7. Tiredness

    These are the symptoms i have experienced with my sinus

    The migraine symptoms

    1. Visual disturbance

    2. Tingling in fingers

    3. Speech disturbance

    4. Pain on certain side of the head

    5. Lights hurts the eyes

    6. Vomiting

    7. Opening the bowles frequently

    8. Pounding headaches

    If your migraine have been controled for some numbers of years then something had triggered it, i.e. Something you ate the lack of sleep,dehydration, stress, sinus.

    Pin point what is that is causing your migraines to surface frequently and keep seeing your Gp to get the help you need.

    All the best and don't give up!

    Hi,

    I have suffered with migraine all my adult life and been diagnosed with stress, blocked sinuses and migraine by GPs. I spent years on preventative medication that did not prevent. Finally I was referred to a neurologist who turned my life around. He explained nothing would currently prevent my migraines but triptans would treat them. That neurologist is now the director  of the London migraine clinic. My medication is now prescribed by my GP who said she had leant a lot through my case. Drs can prescribe sumatriptan, variations need to be prescribed by a consultant first. These tablets changed my life. I hope that helps.

      Thank you! Going to ask the neurologist about sumatriptan. Topamax stopped working. I always remember what my family doctor said to me once. "Doctors treat many things, but cure very little".
