Last time I saw my doc, I showed him my headache diary (I made it because I get headaches regularly). He said "yeah, headaches are common with depressed people" and kicked me out. My question is- are they? Not just the occasional one, but regular ones (I'm averaging 3-4 a month).

Thanks

I spent probably a couple of years wondering why I was constantly sick with flu symptoms, I thought I was catching ever virus that went around. finally I realized it was depression making me feel physically like I was hit by a truck. In fact now I know depression is coming back by some of those physical symptoms. I still get constant headaches but like Tel32693 I think stress is a big factor, and anxiety. I notice my neck and back muscles are constantly tight and that can't help the situation.

He kicked you out? That's kind of unprofessional.

"I've got other people to see" lol

I accept he was running late... but seems to me docs are swamped and overbook themselves.

Now if you want unprofessional, try the one who got up halfway through his sentence to open the door and then booted me out, I'd only been in there about a minute lol

Thanks for replies
