Morning headaches, any insight?
Sunday, October 27, 2002 Question: For about a month I have been waking up with severe headaches each morning, they last from 2 to 4 hours. I had a cold when I went on vacation and the 3rd day went to the emergency room because I had been suffering with the headache all day and was not completely conscious part of the day. The ER physician thought I had a reaction to the codeine cough syrup I had been given by the doctor I saw before I left, also he thought I had ‘allergy black eyes’. He prescribed Allegra and Rhynocort and to not sleep in the camper we had. I went and got mattress and pillow covers and things seemed to improve. However during this time I was having my menstrual period with very heavy flow and clotting. When I got back I saw my doctor who referred me to a GYN. When I saw the GYN a couple days later the flow had slowed but she looked at the blood tests put me on iron a nd told me to call if the bleeding persisted and got heavy again, otherwise I would see her in two wee
