Hi Everyone, Seems that I have been having headaches for ever. At the begenning they were more like a presure on the top of my head. Now they can get very bad (as this morning). Just moving the bed made me feel sick to my stomach and dizzy. I have tingling feeling in my head and the pain is on the right side. I did have a stroke last year and I am on meds for that. Also for High Blood Pressure and I am taking Dilantin ....as the neo said until we find out why I ve been passing out.....I would just like to know if anyone has been where I have been......and how they coped with it...Thanks

awwww bless you, i am so sorry to hear about your stroke.. ok have you had an mri? blood work? if so i would rule out side effects to a certain med you are taking?

I am on dilantin.......because I was passing out alot and all the test they did didn t show why ....so they thought I might be having seizures.....norvasac for high blood pressure......norvasen ......blood thinner and I will be having a MRI on January 21st........ Had alot of blood word everything they say is fine. It has been nearly 10 months since I ve had the stroke...could I still be having affects from the stroke?......thanks for answering.....been feeling pretty lost lately.......

no wonder y ou are dizzy.... blood thiners and meds for your high blood preasure.. i am sure it is all due to the meds u r taking.. and i am sure that by taking these meds will stop you from having any further strokes in the future..., maybe talk to doc about changing meds.. ? see if that helps.. also vertigo tabs and epileptic tabs work for the dizzyness, tingling in the face and passing out.. :? i suffer from all that mind you i am told it is anxiety, i was given an antiseizure med that worked but i stopped it as it is no good to take with ssri..

thanks for answering......I don t understand a few things that you had said......what are Vertigo and epiliptic tabs......and ssri.......what do you mean....very new here....and trying to learn as much as I can.....thanks again

vertigo is a spinning sensation to with your an inner ear imbalance... need to see an ent for that.. epileptic meds help with the tingling and other symptoms etc.. and an ssri is an antidepressant that is used to treat headaches... and inderal is a good one that helps them also.. good luck
