Hi there

As Lou has said you should get this looked into ASAP.

It could be many things, one of them being that your hearbeat has shot up affecting your blood pressure.

However, it could also be a form of Tinnitus.

Either way you need to get an emergency appointment to see your GP.

Wishing you less pain and more peace

Everything is ok the doctor said it's lack of sleep as I don't go to sleep until 5 am it's the norm for me since my mum passed away but I should be sleeping better now as he gave me some sleeping tablets for 14 days ...

That's good to hear :)

Please may I make a suggestion - which is obviously very much your decision.

If you take the tablets every night for the first week and then take them every other night for the second week.

That way they last you a little bit longer.

I genuinely hope that you get some sleep now.

Hi My-chinaman I'm sorry you have this throbbing pain in your head & as Lou1062 & BlueMermaid3 has advised, call GP because it could me the result of many things..People with Fibromyalgia do commonly suffer with migraines and tension headaches, from mild to very severe.

It really is a must to get checked over though because they will give you medication that helps and put your mind at rest, or you will just be worrying its something more serious. They should be able to tell by asking you about the pain over phone or they might tell you to go check out at hospital depending on what you tell them.

Don't think it's only a headache because it could be blood pressure or something else that's causing it.. It's good to drink plenty of water & maybe check your temperature if you can, this will help the doctor decide the best course of action.

Pls do let us know how you get on & I hope you can get some help & relief from it my friend.

Peace, luv n light

I get the flashing lights nearly every day, my friends are jealous lol. I don't very often get a full blown headache though. I used to get the lights before the headache but now I just get the lights. It's actually called Aura migraine, I think. I had never heard of it till last week but I've had it all my adult life from about 13.

If this is a different pain & you are getting this heart beat thumping with it, I would get it checked for sure.
