Hi, I have been having headaches for the last 7 months now. I have been to my doctor on 4 occassions about them and each time he just gives me painkillers and tells me it is just stress. BUT I'm not stressed, only when I go to see him and doesn't listen to a word I say which makes me stressed. It's like he thinks I'm making it up. There is hardly a day goes by without a headache but they haven't been as bad as in the first two months it started. I had been getting palpatations, feeling sick, taking dizzy spells and felt like I had been hit on the head with a hammer. One night I was up the entire night with the pain having cold sweats and couldn't even move. I sincerely thought I wasn't going to survive to the morning. I have had stress, anxiety and depression for approximately 20 years and in that time stress has never done this to me and I am over most of it now and definitely don't have the same stress I had earlier. I started checking my blood sugar levels and they have been consistently low and the way that I have been feeling is pretty much the same affects as hypoglycemia. Now I am watching my diet and monitoring my sugar levels. Somehow I am losing more glucose than normal. Just out of interest, has anybody here had severe headaches constantly due to stress?? I definitely don't think stress is the cause here.
