Q: Constant Headaches When Driving In Car

So for about half a ear so far (if not more), everytime I ride in a car my head starts to hurt.

After a while, we went on a long road trip, and I had a headache in the beginning, but I guess I overcame it.

Then a few weeks later it started to come back, luckily I didn;t really have to ride in the car.

Now every single time I ride in a car I get a headache, I don;t know what to do anymore, I've tried looking out the window, only looking inside, both at once, but nothing seems to help.... :S

I'm really worried now, and I'm going crazy, because now I hate driving in cars!

HELP ME!

Ugh. This is something we've occasionally heard of, and often the headaches are part of motion sickness. People with Migraines have motion sickness more frequently than other people. Neither really causes the other, but it can happen.

This happens to me on longer trips, especially if I'm not the person driving. After discussing it with my doctor, I keep generic Dramamine in my purse at all times. Well, I used to. Then I discovered that Dramamine and Benadryl are both forms of the same medication, diphenhydramine. I keep generic Benadryl all the tiime for allergies, and it's easier to carry just one.

Of course, I can't say that this is the case with you, so pleae do discuss it with your doctor.

Let us know what you find out?

Welcome again!
