I am a chronic migraine sufferer, since I was 10 or 11.  I have seen 4 neurologists, 2 in UK and 2 in US, they have been unable to find the cause.  I hoped that the menapause would resolve the problem but not so far.  I am now 53 and postmenapausal.  When the migraine hits I can have it for 5 days.  It may go with use of Naratriptan but is back when I wake up the next day.  I was diagnosed with low thyroid 5 years ago and take 100mcg daily, I still have tiredness, hair loss, too much weight etc.  Recently I have started exercising to help aid weight loss and found that a couple of hours later I get the throbbing headache and feel nauseous. This is after plenty of water and a light meal before and after working out.  I don't know if this is due to the thyroid.  Has anyone had the same problem?

    Thanks Shelly.  There are certainly a few things there to look into. I don't drink alcohol or coffee. I will check sugar spikes and blood pressure straight away and speak to Dr about the others at my next appointment.
