Top 75 Migraine and Headache Questions, #5

Full Question:My head started hurting four nights ago. The throbbing was only on the left side (my left) of my head, with most of the pain behind my left eye.

I am having the very same problem. I went to ER and was told the same. Did yours go away, and what did you eventually do.  I went to my primary doctor and was just given more pain pills, and they don't seem to help.  My next step is to see a Neurolist.

I get the same type of migraines. I went to a Dr and he gave me an ALCAT.  It is one blood test the checks for allergies and sensitivities to hundreds of items--mostly food.  My doc had me go on a diet for 6 months woithout any of these foods, and my migraines stopped.  If I eat some of the items on the list (e.g bananas, or carrots), I will get a migraine most of the time within 3 days (Sometimes I don't get a headache).  I don't know why, but it doesn't always happen right away.  Even some of my airborn allergies disappeared and I rarely need to use my inhaler now.  I don't understand the connection (if any), but it helped me.  It can't hurt to check it out.

I experience migraine headaches always at my left side only... Similar to previous post ... I also experience pressure on my left eye... So pain is felt from back of the left eye to the temporal up to my nape... I would like to know if what i am feeling is not alarming... I get the migraine anytime of the day even early in the morning... it could last for 2-4 days...with vomiting sometimes...
