Yep, stress can cause all kinds of problems. Stress causes your body to produce cortisol and norepinephrine. Cortisol triggers the release of emery from the muscles, increases blood pressure and shuts down the digestive system. Prolonged stress can cause hypertension, depletes your energy stores and lowers your resistance to disease. Nasty stuff.

One more thing stress about, sorry.

Btw: you're not the only one getting headaches lately. Me and a lot of other people I know have been getting horrible headaches lately. Something to do with the weather?

Y'know, I've had a bunch of friends complaining about migraines lately as well. Maybe it IS the weather Also, the last few days I've been going to bed I've been taking a unisom to help me sleep. Don't know if it's the way I'm sleeping or the pill itself but I haven't had either issues since then.

That... doesn't sound very good. :( I cannot say if it's due to stress or what.
Just be careful and hope you feel better soon!

Thank you! The last few days have been migraine/paralysis free so I'm hoping to check that issue off under stress. If it comes back I'll see a Dr.

Sounds like a plan. ^.^

do you take fish oil pills? maybe should help ya out a bit. that or you're really letting the stress hit ya up. not sure what is effecting you other then could be seines.

I don't, but it probably wouldn't hurt to take them. However, the issue seems to have worked itself out so I'm thankful for that!

dats good.

I did.. it was called bell's palsy. It was a condition where an infection behind the ear squeezes the nerves of the face and eventually will paralyze them for a period of 3months to a year. It looks a lot like a stroke, but before it hit i had migranes, numbnes in the face and my ear hurt like an ear ache in the outer ear. I would wake up at night with this pain.

That being said, I would definitely go see a doctor because the same symptoms can also be a true stroke and or nerve issues or worse.

Get in there hun just a safety issue.

I have been having ear problems (on both sides) but that's been and on and off issue for years. There's a possibility it could come from that. So far, the last few days I've been taking unisom to knock me out and it's worked well. I fall asleep right before the headache turns into a migraine and I wake up refreshed without any pain and no numbness. I don't know if it's the pill or just make the fact I needed some serious rest but I've been doing ok the last few days.

i have migraines with auroa i know how you feels and i get it from stress and head injury when i as in the service, i have to takes topamax for the rest of my life.

I'm sorry to hear that! I have a friend with the same issue that also takes topamax. It's never easy having to stay medicated for long periods.
