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

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..
