1. Chronic fatigue syndrome. The symptoms range from excessive tiredness and headaches, to dizziness and irritability.
2. Hypo-Glycaemia (Low blood sugar). The symptoms are similar, but include dizziness, sickness, blackouts and sometimes shaking. Headaches are also a major symptom. If you do not take in enough sugar in your diet you may want to try this to see if it helps. Keep a food diary and maybe work out when your episodes are worse. If you have recently increased exercise, but not changed or increased dietary intake this could be the problem. Speak with your doctor cause if it goes untreated it can be dangerous.
3. Dehydration. This is a common problem, particularly amongst the young ones who drink alcohol regularly and don't replenish their fluid stores ;) if you don't drink a lot, you need to increase your fluids, as not drinking enough causes headaches, tiredness, dizziness and other similar symptoms. Same as before, if you've increased exercise and arent drinking enough, you need to work on that. If you drink alcohol, make sure you're drinking enough water!
4. Probably not an issue for the really younger ones, but it is possible.....early menopause. A lot of your symptoms can be related to the early menopause and should be checked out by a doctor, particularly if you have spotting between periods. They can run some checks and give you medication to keep this under control.
5. Stress and anxiety. This is common and many suffer with stress headaches. You need to work on relieving stress as much as you can and if you have a heavy workload in school or work, speak to someone and don't put too much pressure on yourself. The doctor can also give tablets to help with headaches. I was on Propranolol 80mg MR (modified release) and it helps loads.
6. If any of you ladies take a contraceptive pill, particularly the combined, please discuss the symptoms with your doctor and maybe consider changing. I used to be on Yasmin and as soon as I stopped taking it, my headaches stopped! It's a common side effect and shouldn't be ruled out, as it can be dangerous, particularly on the combined pill, which is linked to blood clots.
Hope this helps guys!! :) xx

Im a 32 year old male, been diagnosed with cluster headaches a year ago. Get about 6 week remission between each 2 month long bout. i cant seem to get rid of the constant headaches either. feels like i have fire running through my head constantly. Im on panalol hydrochloride as a beta blocker and I use sumutriptan pens for the very worst headaches which basically make me fit in pain, to the point ive padded my headboard on my bed to stop me turning my head purple with bruising. I keep getting told to stop using pain killers to stop rebpund headaches, but i have little choice if i want to spand any time with my kids, i can hardly go out without them being more panicked then me.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what i can do now.?

Track everything during the bouts of headaches and during the time of remission.
Track your food and water intake, how much sleep you get, physical activity for the day, work/stress load for the day, any pills you're taking, when the headaches happen and where they feel in your head, and so on and so forth.
This way you have facts, it's not just "My head has been killing me the past year and I don't know why!" Now you'll have a point of reference for everything which could help you narrow it down to potential causes.
Personally, I get throbbing headaches when I don't get enough sleep, but sometimes when I do get enough sleep. By tracking everything, I found tension headaches occurred whenever I worked on my computer for 5+ hours straight, regardless of how much sleep I got.
Just advice, do whatever you want with it, sometimes the best step is the first step.

I've been having the same symptoms for almost a month now. I sleep 8-10 hours but im always tired and sleepy sometimes i loose balance. The headaches irritates me when were studying a lesson, at times the headaches would be at the sides of my head, around my head or even my neck, it doesn't hurt sometimes but enough to bother you. It lasted for hours! I really want to have a checkup from a doctor but to the comments i've seen some doctors doesn't have any clue or idea what's going on with us.
