I need your help. I’m 24 years old I’m having a hard time here. I’ve always had headaches or migraine. It will last for 2-4 days. On a scale of 1-10 it would be 4-5. During my pregnancy I really had headaches. I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on Feb 16, 2009. In April I started to experience headaches again and this time it was worst than ever. On a scale of 1-10 they are 8-10. My headaches will last all day, every day since April and I’m losing my hair like crazy. With my headaches I’m experiencing some nauseas, dizziness and I feel like I’m going to pass out…
The doctor sends me to pass a Cat Scan on April 28 and have some blood work done. And the result came back with everything normal. At first she was thinking it was my migraine that came back even worst then ever. And because I’m having headaches every day she send that it was impossible to be migraine. So she put me on antibiotics for chronic sinus infection. She gave me antibiotics for 5 weeks I will be done next week. And nothing change so fare. She said that she’s really confused because she really doesn’t know what it could be.
I’m going crazy her. I need help. Any suggestion would be appreciated. I fill I can’t appreciated playing with my DD at the max. And the worst of it is that my DH works out of town so he works 10 days and home for 4 days and we have no family here. When he is home he helps me lots.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there.  All I can tink it might be is your hormones.  After I had my kids (2year old and 4 month old) I lose a ton of hair.  After a shower and I brush my hair my brush is full.  When I run my hands thru my hair I always get a handful of hair.  Also I know my sister after she had her second son she got headaches really bad.  To the point of taking her to the hospital.  they did a ton of tests and it ended up being a hormonal inbalance.  Something to look into.  Good luck.

Do you were glasses? It could be migranes caused from that, They are called ocular miigranes. I have suffered the sam symptoms as you, and was also put on stuff for sinus infections. I was loosing hair from being stressed out. When I went to my eye doctor I needed new glasses and she told me I was suffering from oculatr migranes. I hardly have any headaches now. Good luck!
