Migraine - Early stage detection

                    I am usually by the TV or computer. 

WHEN I woke up on Saturday-I had a massive headache as if my eyes were gonna pop out. I   closed my eyes and covered my face with duvet, hoping the pain to pass away. Everything  seemed  to be very bright and the morning light hurt my eyes. I took paracetamol and decided if headache wont go away-I will go to emergency department on NHS. But after 2 hours it finally subsided. 

ON wednesday, @ my work during afternoon, my head started to get the same piercing painful  ache. After finally reaching home, all I did was sleep. SO, I booked an appointment @ GP on thursday and took a dayoff on friday. 

AFTER some checkups, doctor advised me it could be either

-eye problem 

-simply stress headache or due to cold virus

-migraine

NURSE took blood samples for further tests and during that we talked about the weather and general stuff.

I went to BOOTS for eye-checkup, and they seemed to be fine.

I now have to worry about whether it's a stress headache or migraine. 

Blood test results will be ready after 1 week. I will probably go to GP on next friday & re-book an appointment with the doc. 

                   Hope it to be simply a stress headache ( a nasty one- though  ^-^)

 I went to check whether my reports had been back or not. They were and the receptionist told  .me results were normal. So, I booked appointment with the doctor for consultation. The earliest
.available was 8:30 am Monday.

 MONDAY, 26 SEPTEMBER 2011

 I went to GP and waited for my turn. The doc asked me for my eye test results and I told her eyes were normal. She suggested that it might be migraine and so gave me info about .migraine and also printed out information about migraine. When I mentioned that I was .having .strong coughs resulting in chest pain although I don't smoke, she examined .breathing rhythms and confirmed it to be normal. She refered some cough syrups.

.I am very happy with how she answered my queries and her professional caring attitude.
