headaches pain (migraines)
Hello B,I had very painful headaches for 3 days now. I feel it more of my left brain. The feeling like something bowling my hair. I got the same kind of headache when I got vaccinated with Covid. It’s new kind of pain to me. I use to have migraine always before but not anymore now. I am not sure is this migraine now or something else? What root cause of headaches?
How to treat it when ever I have headaches? I am taking pandol but dose not relieve the pain at all.
Any recommendations?Also feel slightly if fever when the headaches is too painful. Now I am very in pain.

Hey ,
You might be describing a migraine. People who have tension headaches often complain of a band of pain across their forehead or pressure on either side of the head. The pain is tiring, but less severe than a migraine. Migraines, on the other hand, usually hurts worse on one side of the head often combined with pulsing or throbbing pain. Visual changes can occur, but it isn’t always the case. Sensitivity to light and sounds do often occur, but in a minority of people, these symptoms stay away.
Reasons can vary and are hard to pinpoint since there are many. But here are a few:
• If you still are sick, viral infections can cause headaches and on some occasions a migraine. With COVID infections a migraine is more common than with the flu.
• You mentioned in earlier posts your stress levels are high as well and also stress can cause headaches or trigger migraines.
• Food sensitivities can cause migraines as well. The most common food sensitivities that are related to getting migraines are oranges, coffee, tea, wheat and eggs.
• Foods contain tyramine like cheese, cured meats, alcohol and vinegar.
• Foods containing tannins can provoke a migraine as well, like coffee, tea, chocolate and wine.
• Histamine intolerance can cause migraines as well
• Certain heavy metals like lead and cadmium
• Fluctuations in atmospheric pressure
• An elevation in homocysteine is also associated with migraines. Homocysteine is something you could test if you experience migraines regularly.
• Dehydration can also play a role in triggering migrainesThings you could try
I often recommend my clients to try one (or a combination) of the following things for relief:• 300-400 mg of magnesium 2x per day with food. Malate & glycinate are well absorbed. Citrate might be a better choice if you also experience constipation, but if it is the only magnesium form you have at home, you certainly can try it.
• CoQ10 has been shown effective with migraine prophylaxis (click here if you like to see some research)
• An elevation in homocysteine is can be influenced by genetics or a deficiency in B12, folate, B9 and riboflavin.
• Water!Stress reduction: journaling, meditation, massages… they all can help reduce the incidence of migraines should they occur more often.
If toxicity is at play, a different kind of approach should be taken.
But since stress and viral infections are at play, I would focus my attention on those two primary causes first!
I hope you feel better soon!

thank you for the information.
Yes I think I have migraine.
I am taking magnesium bisglycinate powder daily already. Should I also take other kind or this is enough.I have ordered Coq10. Do I take 1 tablet daily?

Usually, I recommend 2x 100-150 mg of CoQ10. Make sure you have the ubiquinol form (and not the ubiquinone!)
Here is a brand that I like in particular. It’s from Thorne and is called Q10. You can find it here!
