Are migraines during my period normal?

i am trying pregnant still i am not conceive give any tips

My sister gets horrible chronic headaches. she has fainted, vomitted, it's horrible to watch. it turns out she had a cyst in her brain causing her migraines. She is on several medications and they seem to have helped, since she has them a lot less than she use to. It would get a lot worse around her period, too.

Menstrual migraines and headaches are common--but are also signs of a hormonal imbalance. Read more about how to find relief from menstrual migraines: http://www.womentowomen.com/womenshealth/menstrualmigraines.aspx

It might just be a matter of making some diet changes and possibly using certain herbs to keep hormones in better balance!

Did you get some answer why you are having migrain during your period? I too had the same experience. Either before during or after.

ever since i was little i have gotten headaches almost daily. over the years ive learned to just deal with them. ive also been to doctors about this and they tell me to change my diet. i do so, and nothing helps. when i get my period i wake up with a headache that only gets worse as the day progresses and its there for days. these headaches quickly turn into migranes but its a different kind of migrane then im used to. can anyone help?

I never suffered from horrible headaches. I would get a few when my allergies were bad, but other then that it was the end. I was half way through my second year of teaching when I would get these (as I refer to them) lightning headaches! It felt like lightning way hitting a particular part of my brain and I would be horrible for about 24 hours after that. I went to go and see my Dr. who referred me to an infectious disease specialist. The dr eventually sent me to the hospital because they were so bad to do a spinal tap (he thought I had West Nile virus. My fluid was clear so I was sent to a neurologist. By that time I had a constant headache that never went away and lightning headaches on top of that. The Dr told me they were a form of migraines and diagnosed me with EDHS as well. I was put on TOPOMAX as a preventative. I was first started on 25 mgs once a day, it got so bad I was then upped to 100 mgs three times a day. I loved being on that medicine because I could function, but it effected my short term memory as well as left me 35 pounds lighter. I eventually had to get off that pill because my husband and I wanted to ttc and it causes birth defects. That's my story :) don't know if it helps.

I suffer from Everyday headache syndrome and horrible migraines that I was on a pill for epilepsy for. I would get my most horrible migraines right before or during my period and I was told by my dr that it was because of hormones
