Hello everyone Smile

First time poster here.

I am looking for answers everywhere I can as to whats wrong with me, please any advise would be great.

Ive had a constant headache now for around 3 months, I wake with it, in the 3 months i have probably had 5-7 days of relief from it. Thats only half my battle though, with the headaches I feel really ill, its hard to explain, its just an overwhelming your not well Smile

I asked my doctor for a referral to a specialist neurologist who I just seen yesterday, I made everything clear to him as above, he thinks it is a form of constant migraine thats not coming to a head. Hes put me on Aspiran 75mg, and also half inderal la 80mg. It has been a day and I still feel like crap, my headache actually isnt as bad but the overwhelming feeling of illness is terrible.

I dont know where to go from here? The neurologist said to give the medication a while and if it doesnt help come straight back to him. He done all the normal tests like follow my finger, and push against my hand and looked in my eyes and all those tests, I presume for tumors? anyways...

I also explained to him about my stressful job, I work in a family business 6-7 days a week for long hours, suppose the question is could stress make you feel so ill?

Any comments would be great, if you need to know anymore then let me know.

C yas later and thanks for reading

Yes 100% high stress levels, can cause all sorts of problematic syndromes, It can create an almost instantaneous flux in your blood pressure. These irregular fluxuations, stress the body, creating headaches,constant or temporary fatigue even muscle soreness. "over all a feeling like the whole body is shutting down" I am a long time sufferer of Stress/anxiety, So i know how you feel. Theres only one thing that ever worked for me. The basics of health a balanced clean diet, followed by rigourous a exercise program. Exercise is a great way to regulate the body it releases all sorts of adrenaline and feel good horomones, not to mention all sorts of natural pain killers which are by far the strongest as they work like an opiate. I hope this may help in some way. The hardest part is having a headache and forcing yourself to exercise, drink lots of water and make it past the first 15 mins of said program and those endorphines will start kicking in.

I have had this same exact thing...the headaches with the overall unwell feeling. I cant reqlly explain exactly how I feel either...its just kind of weird. I went to a neurologist and she sent me for an MRI. Im still waiting on the results. Ask your neurologist if it would be good to be sent for an MRI, then they can rule out anything major.

I was wondering if the doctor ever diagnosed you with anything. I have been suffering from the samething for months. Everyday I feel bad, like I have the flu or something. Some days are worse than others. I have a headache everyday and am alos nauseous, trouble sleeping, just miserable.

I have the same feeling. can your head start to shake a little too under stress? I am only 48 . I am so active not an excersie program just being mom and all. and don't notice it until I have some down time. I am a mom of 4 teens and Teacher for behavioral students and I just notice these sympthoms about 1 week. I have a headach all day (slight) imy head shakes not constantley but l at times.and i have an upset stomach. Can Stress actually do this to me. It seems that the headach comes and go just on my left side by tempo? What do you sugest. I take High BP med. and my i take my pressure it is fine. Some times I shake like I haven't eatten anything too. It's so out of the normal.

I have had those same symptoms for about six months now. An mri showed some kind of anormality in the pituitary area. Could be a craniopharingioma or a Rathke Cleft cyst. Go to the Pituitary.org and look for info.
