Hi
Cynthiaa89,
Try squatting down instead of bending over.
But seriously, it sounds like chronic migraine to me. You don't need just any old neurologist; you need one who specializes in just headaches. Not always easy to find, but worth the effort.
It may take a while to get in to see a headache specialist. While you're waiting, there are a couple of things you can do:
- Start researching types of headaches & types of migraines, and see if you can't nail it down somewhat.
Google: headache diagnosis
Google: headache diagnosis questionnaire
- Start a Headache Log. This is a type of pain journal for headaches, in which you'll keep track of episodes, symptoms, pain levels, locations, triggers, meds taken, what helps & what makes them worse.... Anything & everything you can think of relating to the headaches & episodes.
Google: headache log to get a better idea, and some sample logs you can download/copy. If none of them are quite right for your particular needs, take some ideas and create your own on a spreadsheet (that's what I wound up doing)
These two things are to help the doctors help you, and should help expedite things.
HTH, and Best Wishes,
Doc
