Headaches with IBS

[LeeSheff]

Hi everyone newbi here, I was wondering if any of you out there who suffer with IBS have the headaches also, I'm getting like a burning sensation up the back of my neck then the headache comes?

Hi Lee,

This sounds like it could be tension headaches. I had a similar thing where the back of my neck and head bloated and no meds would help it.

Have you tried massaging the back of your neck and head to help release the tension?

To get to the root of this and get rid of the headaches, you need to find what is tensing you up. Look out for triggers when you start getting the burning sensation.

As for releasing stress, I use these techniques on a regular basis: sickofibs.com/ibs-triggers/...

Hope this helps,

Hi Lee

I also suffer from IBS and have done for a couple of years, the last few flare ups I have experienced have been accompanied with headaches, which seems to start from the back of my head and starts to move to the front as time goes on.

I'm currently experiencing a flare up and the head is hurting :(..
