self induced headache
hi guys i am fairly new to headaches although used to get migraines when i was young. i know you cant give me medical advice but wanted to ask your opinion.
i went to the doctors because i was having a slight headache on the left side of my head for a couple of weeks and was taking paracetamol and co codamol to get rid of it. it was a horrible headache only a nuisance after 3 weeks she gave me a another painkiller to shift it but after taking it i woke up with a proper bad headache and then stopped taking painkillers all together.
through research on the internet i bumped into the concept of rebound/medication overuse headache and thought o my god what have i done to myself i didnt even really need those stupid painkillers its was probably just a stress headache.
now since stopping the painkillers i have had worse headaches daily and this has gone on for a month.
do u think i am suffering from rebound headaches and will they go away
the doctor has sent me to a neurologist anyway for october
thanks in advanced guys
