Im getting quite frequent headaches at the front of my head around my eyes. I swear that my teeth feel like they are throbing and i have a wierd metally taste in my mouth. I also feel like vomiting off and on although i never actually do.

I dont have any dental problems and i dont need glasses. Any ideas??

Hi, I hope you are feeling better by now.

It sounds like what you described are some of the symptoms of migraine headache. I get them very badly.

First, I will taste and smell a metal smell, maybe feel a slight pain around my eye area. I get sensative to bright things, smells, and sounds. I also get nauseated. Then comes the really bad intense pains in my head, and my whole jaw seems to tense up.

Have you seen your doctor about these headaches?

It could also be a sinus headache or infection. I get those and they are terribly painful. My teeth always hurt too. Try taking a decongestant/antihistamine along with your pain reliever and see what happens, or use a nasal spray along with it.
Hope you feel better soon.

Hi, Yes it sounds like i have a migrane type headache. Years ago i was prescribed Stemetil because i had dizzy spells and certain things would bring it on like strong smelling perfume. It was so bad it effected my balance and i couldnt even walk straight when i had an attack. I saw an E.N.T specialist at the time and they didnt know what it was. Eventually it went away when i changed my contraceptive pill.But i was wondering if the metal taste i get has something to do with my fillings in my teeth. I read somewhere that even tiny amounts of mercury in your blood stream can make you feel like i do.

i had the exact same thing. i was waking up in the morning with terrible headaches. around my temples, eyes,neck and sometimes teeth. no matter what i took they lasted about 12-24 hours. and i got them almost 3 times a week . i went to my doc last week and got put on Zyrtec.(for allergies). i also got Flonase (nasal spray) and allery shot and an antibiotic, (for possible sinus infection. then i got a prescription migrain/sever headache pills.(Fiorinal). and I have been so much better. the moment i start to feel a headache come on i take one and feel great. i would really push you to see a doc. it sounds like what i had. bad allegies/sinuses which are triggering migraines.

hope this helps you!
