Ah yes, the incredibly fun game of "is my headache caused by dehydration, sleep deprivation, my ponytail, stress, caffeine withdrawal, insufficient nutrition or brain tumor?"
for real lol, I have headaches for almost 8months that cause hypochondriac (health anxiety) and all this days I always think that I have brain tumour lol.
"let me google why I have a headache" Google: you have pancreatic cancer in your armpits, you have 3 minutes to live and your house will be destroyed by dragons
When I was 9 I started getting horrific headaches. Eventually I would get nauseous and eventually sick. I was missing a lot of school and the headaches were getting worse, and being accompanied by other symptoms (unbalanced, shaky hands, etc) so my parents brought me for a blood test, then a CAT scan. A week after the scan they packed my bags whilst I was at school and we drove to a children’s hospital 5 hours away. Turns out I had a rare tumour which was causing spinal fluid to build up in my skull * (Hydrocephalus) *. It required 2 brain surgeries to fix and some radiation therapy because of the sucker was coming back for round 2 (didn’t get ill that time, doctors spotted it quickly). Moral of the story?/ *TLDR*: Take persistent headaches seriously, it could be something malevolent.
Had the same thing, I collapsed and could no longer think, vomiting was part of the process, have not been the same since! I am 29 now. All I got back then was, "go to bed" I was crying with constant hurt. Doctors done nothing, so tumour 🤷♂️ had to put myself to bed, in the end just stopped telling people, felt soo bad (sick, shaky, vision, loss/weakness in body, light headed, a bit sweaty) after sleep i felt better. Glad you had doctors, and well parents that put you to doctors to get seen to! Who knows what could have happened!
There's a book called Hidden Time Wealth, and it talks about how using some secret techniques, you can overcome procrastination and accomplish anything in life. It's not just a bunch of empty promises; it's the real deal.
if i tell my mom that i have a head ache she doesn't call the doctor she call the Guinness world record guys to check that i got a new record for highest temperature
Me: **starts working on my projects** Brain: Noooooo! I wana watch youtube! I don't like that! Me: Shut up. I gotta do this. The due date is- Brain: NOOOO! Me don't wana work!! Me want anime and funny videos!! Me: **gets a headache**
I suffered from migraines for 20 yrs, so bad I felt like my eyeball was going to pop out and sometimes the pain would make me nauseous, sometimes vomiting helped relieve the pain. I couldn’t stand the light and sometimes noise, I had to be in the silent dark. Turns out I’m sensitive to certain foods and/or just lacked certain enzymes. I’ve switched up my diet, mainly avoiding gluten. I went from having up 2 headaches a week to zero in almost a year.
I'm so glad you were able to figure out what the cause was. I think it's the first time I've really seen a food diary/tracking situation really work, tho I do have foods that will make my migraine worse (I'm one of those who has one 24/7, the intensity just varies) and they're all foods with higher-than-average sulfur content. Hope you're still doing well!
I’ve seen a video of someone self-trepanning with an actual, literal powertool on youtube. He thought he was going to get ”a third eye” (spiritual mumbo jumbo) and increase brain blood volume (who cares if it does?)
I remember my first migraine. I was 11 or 12, and it was in the evening when my mom was cooking dinner. I started having those auras, and they really did look like geometric shapes bouncing around behind my eyes. I got sick and threw up. That was the beginning of a terrible lifelong relationship with migraines.
Yeah they're horrible. I got my first during a PE class. It was suddenly hard to focus and I started to see sawtooth waves. I started feeling light-headed and nauseous when I walked home, but I managed. Half an hour later I got the most painful headache I ever had had at that time.
Mine started when I was 24, after dyeing my hair. The fumes made me sick and my head was throbbing in the middle of the night. I have recurring migraines ever since, and I get "smell auras" almost always
@@rainmanj9978 I take Topamax which seems to handle my migraines pretty effectively. Now if I get one, there's usually an external cause, like weather or illness or something like that.
I had seriously bad headaches as a child but didn't complain too bad about them because I thought they were normal. They only got worse as a teenagers and still did nothing. By my 20s I was self treating heavily with tylenol and ibuprofen and I'm worries I might have done a lot of harm. Two things happened: the realization that I was having migraines and my mother passing away due to strokes. One day in 2018, I had a severe migraine that caused me to go temporarily blind. I went to my doctor knowing that my mother died from a brain disease. Got referred for a CT scan. Got a call: "We need you to come in for more testing." 1 test became a battery of tests. They were testing me for everything including brain cancer. Finally I got my diagnosis: I have moyamoya disease. A rare degenerative cardiovascular disease and the only cure is surgery. Without it, I would die, probably due to a stroke like my mother. So in fall of 2019 I had my brain surgery. A cerebral bypass on my right side. That first week post surgery was the worst pain in my life and I experienced some wonky symptoms, like losing my sense of music. But I got better. I'm well over a year post surgery now and it's night and day. My headaches are less frequent, so are my migraines. It made me realize that I need to listen to my body. Don't take your health for granted. If you have daily headaches, that's not normal and you should talk to your doctor.
@@tulipiscute if nothing else, it tells us that the people who did the editing and graphics and the people who approved all of that work absolutely do not experience migraines of any kind lol
As a child I was told that an ordinary headache can be caused by being on the sun. I thought sun rays shouldn't cause a headache until I realized that also a cold wind can cause one, so headaches can be temperature related. Being a little scientist that I was, on one headachey evening I went to bed with a winter cap on and the pain went away or if I took a really hot shower. It worked. No need for aspirin. On a long 6 hour bus ride to Siem Reap I got a headache from that strong aircon air and I already knew that tension headaches can be neck muscles pulling on your skull, so I went for a neck massage. Again, it went away! It's good to know what headaches are instead of just popping pills everytime you have one.
No shame in medicating for a chronic condition either. Yes, if you can manage it another way, great. That's lucky to me. I wish it were still that simple
@@brokenfoxx it is good to stiff out the pain I get headaches literally everyday its rare for me to have a day without a headache I have had times where I've had headaches for weeks close to a full month all day all night everyday but your not supposed to take pain medications on a daily occasion medications like ibuprofen damage your stomach if you are not at the point of feeling like you could cry then I would skip the tablet's.
@@sorryg4352 I'll stick to the advice and care of my doctors I've been seeing for more than a decade now. I'm not a newbie at this. I have severe nerve damage in addition to my migraine (which are more than just headaches, btw).
Headaches and nausea can be caused by flashing lights and patterns, and you finish off your video with circles and squares flashing, pulsating, altering colors etc. Way to go guys!
I'm 14, and for as long as I can remember I've had recurring migraines. Sometimes when it gets too painful I take painkillers, but it doesn't work all the time. Sometimes I have to endure an insane amount of pain till I can release it, and by releasing I mean vomiting. It's not only making me go through so much pain(that I want to bash my head onto a wall.), it's also causing me to take way too many pills for my age. It affects my daily life, and I have no choice. I get migraines whenever it's too hot(I live in a country with hot weather), whenever I starve when I skip a meal, when I smell a crazy strong perfume, from radiation(I'm guessing since I get it whenever I use my PC or phone too long), and sometimes I don't even know the cause :(( I just wanna be over it already broo Edit: I didn't know those pattern thingies were because of migraine!! I see it often when it's dark or sometimes whenever I space out or just randomly. I honestly thought it was a normal thing. EDIT, EXTRA INFO: My mother also has recurring migraines, I personally think it's inherited??
Me, my grandfather and his related nephews all have migraines and headaches that never seem to go away so I think it's inherited. I think my migraines are a bit less severe than yours but i'll wake up in the middle of the night with vertigo and keep throwing up just to sleep for another hour. For me I don't have the ability to focus on something for a long period of time because of the pain which sometimes causes me to skip assignments or not display my best efforts.
You can't get headaches from radiation. Human body chemistry is literally physically incompatible with radiation. You would have to be made out of metal to be affected by radiation but radiation just goes trought the body
I also used to have alot of migraines, triggers where also heat, and after emotional stress. I am now taking magnesium supplements and went from 15+ a year to about two (and they where 2 consecutive days after someone passed unexpectedly). It meight nog work for everyone but it could be worth a try. I am so happy to be almost migraine free now :) :) :)
@@JitteJorritsma Your triggers are quite similar to mine. The worst trigger for me is focusing for too long and stressing out. I'm going to try some magnesium powder everyday wish me luck I hope it helps ease my headaches!
My husband's grandma is 91 and the first time she ever got a headache she was 84, due to eye strain. She was struggling to see as she was developing cataracts. She hardly has ever been sick either. The only times she has been very ill has been during her pregnancies in her 30s, during menopause, and a uterine prolapse later in life. She's healthier than most people half her age.
My dad very rarely had a headache (we're talking maybe once every five years) and if he did, he took an aspirin and was fine. The only time he had a headache that required something stronger than aspirin was when he had a TIA (mini-stroke). We went to the ER, they admitted him and they gave him some morphine (2mg IV, which made him not only headache-free but high asf!!). He subsequently had more TIAs (and headaches) and died a year later at 73 years old.
@@apurvasawant811 I'm one of those people. I assumed they were rare until it came up that I don't get them in my mid-twenties. Never put any thought to it until then. They seem like one of the worst things a person can endure, especially if they're reoccurring. You all have my sympathy.
I once had a really bad migraine during school but i didnt mind it because i thought it would just go away, boy was i wrong. After school, i still had a study group to go to and i couldn’t wait to go home. When i did though, i was so dizzy and my head hurt so much, i rushed to the bathroom to vomit. My parents thought that i went partying with my study group and that i was drunk and they grounded me but i couldn’t even explain because i was so delirious and had to rest. When i woke up i told them i wasn’t feeling well and they gave me the “hangover talk” but i told them that i had just got a really bad migraine. 😂😅
@@jonassolivio5487 awww that sucks lol people who have never experienced vomiting with a migraine would never know. I didn't even know until it happened to me. I think you should screenshot these comments and send them to your parents for a good laugh and tell them they owe you 100 bucks for the punishment 😂🤣 one piece of advice is deal with the migraine before it even gets that bad. First sign of a headache I start taking tylenol or motrin (or whatever is available) and then I relax. The only ones I can't help are the ones I wake up with...
Writing this down in case it helps someone who still hasn't figured out the cause for their migraine. In my college years I started having really bad migraines, the ones that include auras and even some dysphasia. After going to many doctors, one of them (Im still so grateful for this man 10 years later) hit the jackpot, my migraines were the result of whiplash injury (from a car accident when I was a kid). He then advised therapy and aerobic exercises, and i haven't experienced another aura migraine ever since!
Great vid for the most part, but this has one pretty substantial inaccuracy at 0:37 - Trepanning IS still used today. It's interesting because it's among the most ancient techniques that are used today. However, it's obviously not used for headaches, it's used for swelling of cerebrospinal fluid...which often manifests itself as severe headaches. Plus, modern equipment is obviously much less intrusive than that used in ancient Greece. It's not outright wrong, but it's definitely misinformative to say "doctors today don't resort to power tools or trepanning."
Sometimes I feel like I leave these videos with more questions than answers. But I still love watching Ted-Eds videos. I do learn lot more in a 5 minute video than I do in years of studying the topic. They do give a lot of information in their videos but sometimes it seems like they leave the question of the video open to interpretation or just open so I'm left thinking "wait, what?"
I've grown up with migraines, and I had them from every other day to once a week. Light, noise and motion sensitivity, it caused me to throw up when I was younger and I used to have a nosebleed after certain migraine attacks. My vision become blurry prior to migraine and it's a throbbing, almost pulsating pain, feels like a knife is being shoved into the skull. It usually last around 8h but it could be between 5 and 14h. I have migraines after prolonged static motion, changes in air pressure and weather especially prior to thunderstorms, nervosity, anxiety, stress or sleep deprivation. At least those are the patterns we saw, yet sometimes it didn't have any reason. Sometimes my muscles tense up from my neck down to my lower back and causes a severe pain, other times there are no physical indicators to cause pain. I learned to follow my body, sleep when I felt tired, eat when hungry and drink when thirsty, if I tried to force anything I would soon regret that. Changes internally also helps alot, even if you don't feel stressed you might still be stressed because of where you are and what's around you, so changes in scenary can help
For those who experience minor headaches (like those on one side of the head), I suggest you give meditation or short-burst breathing a try. For the short-burst breathing, try to isolate yourself away from any noise around you, get a place to sit (in a meditation position if possible), close your eyes, and breath in and out quickly by inhaling/exhaling about 10% of your lungs total capacity. It should feel like you're doing 2 inhales and 2 exhales in one second. Try breathing using your mouth. It really works wonders for me. It doesn't get rid of the headache completely, but you should find the beating pulse reduced a lot (if you're lucky it could go away entirely). It could take some 5 to 15 minutes depending on how you do it. Hope it works for anyone reading this.
heres a tip: instead of popping pain relievers eat some almonds, about 15 or so. theyre high in vitamin e and help regulate the blood flow to help clear up headaches. they work really well
My girlfriend has been suffering with migraines for around 4 years. We believe what triggered them was an emotional stress due to a family member passing out because that's around the time she started having them. She went to the doctor and made a lot of tests and they found nothing that could explain her migraines. She's now diagnosed with chronic migraines and had to go a couple times to the emergency because her migraines were soo intense nothing could make them go away. We're now to the point where she litreally has headaches on a daily basis and nothing seems to work out fine to relieve the pain. Last option would be medical botox injections (which is completely different from esthetic botox injections) as it seems to have worked for a lot of migraine patients. It has proven to reduce the amount of migraines one has by 50% and sometimes even more. Hopefully we can find something to help relieve her pain 🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing this. I am the exact same. I have been for many tests, headache clinic, CT scan and still nothing. Countless medication which nothing seems to work. Botox is the next option for me. If my new prevention medication doesn't work. I hope your girlfriend gets answers and is pain free soon 🙏
i cannot imagine having headache on everyday basis, i am currently having headache and the thing i want the most rn is get rid of that pain, i hope her migraine problem gets solved as soon as possible. :))
Its like they knew I was having a headache! I've had this headache for days now, coming and going. Been taking 3 ibuprofen tabs every few hours and its not working. **************** UPDATE: The day after I posted this comment, I had my blood pressure measured at my dentist appointment. It came out to 158/80! Which was really unusual for me since my blood pressure is usually between 115-130/70. I wasnt nervous or anything so it couldn't have been that. Had my bp measure at the end of my appointment and it was 160/70. I went home and used my dad's bp cuff on both my arms and it repeatedly said my bp was in the 160s and 170s. At one point it had gotten up to 191. It all added up: I was extremely stressed out from school and been having regular headaches followed by painful migraines for 4 days in a row. I went to see the next available doctor at my clinic the same day. Turns out it was likey due to a combination of lack of sleep and stress. My bp was taken so much that day that both my upper arms became bruised and sore (from blood testing). I spent the whole day after that just relaxing and slept for most of the day. I cannot wait for this semester to be over with!! Thanks everyone for your concern!
Interesting. I've had daily headaches since I was 8, and recently had an MRI where they found a long-term sinus infection that was putting pressure on blood vessels. Got treated for it and have had far fewer headaches since. Still get occasional headaches every few days, unfortunately.
When I get a headache I listen to rain fall sounds and imagine myself alone in a forest away from my stress living space, it brings me peace and it goes away every time. Idk if this is what you call meditation.
I have chronic migraines that started after I had a grand mal seizure when I was 9. I’ve been to many doctors, but I feel like I learned more in this video about them than I have from any of the doctors tbh. I’ve found that treximet (sumatriptan+aleve) works really well for relief. And Ajovy is a pretty good preventative
I used to get pain behind my right eye, especially when I was tired. A few years later I found that had 2 brain aneurysms and pain behind the eye is a common symptom of brain aneurysm. Luckily for me, mine were found before they ruptured, and I have had them coiled.
The animation for migraines is so accurate to what I experience. Going to show this when ppl ask me to describe my migraines. My cluster headaches are not so clearly animated, but there is a sense of what I experience! Thanks 🙏
YES! Let's do a Ted Ed about headaches and use a lot of pulsating shapes in annoying colors so all headache prone people who want to learn about headaches get a headache while finding out about headaches! Way to go @TED-Ed
@@debrabyrd2544 No... this is the last video you'd expect to intentionally display migraine triggers. In most videos, you are taking a chance. But in videos that will be watched mainly by people who suffer from migraines (or other headaches)... you'd expect something less flashy. It's like clicking a video about epilepsy and getting bombarded by strobe lights. It doesn't make any sense.
@@debrabyrd2544 Worrying LOWERS immune system honey. Must manage stress by talking walks/ quiet time in NATURE- very important. Eat at least 4 hrs BEFORE u lay down. AVOID drinking anything AFTER EATING PLEASE. Fruit LOWERS Blood pressure and apples banana n pears prevent strokes. Avoid watermelon with and after food. Watermelon and Apple must NEVER BE eaten at night- Watermelon MUST b eaten on empty stomach. Fatty liver- fibromyalgia - diebetes- ALL can be cured 100% by diet. TRUST instincs- I got chest pains by eating 2 spoons of that nuttella chocolate spread . In UK some teabags dogey- people's headache stopped when they stopped drinking tea-
I'd wouldn't even wish headaches upon my worst enemies. My dad,50+ now, have had severe sinus a few years ago that literally had him crying in pain and agony . Doctors gave him medications ,treated him had an MRI done and I'm so glad he is okay now...
I find the situation with primary headaches quite fascinating, firstly I never experienced those and I guess no one from my surrounding ever complained about such suffering; but video mentioned that both types of headaches occurs with probability of 50/50…
I’ve actually heard that occasionally trepanning can be an effective treatment of last resort for encephalitis, and for extreme cases doctors use methods like surgically removing pieces of the skull, allowing the brain to swell through them, and replacing the pieces when the swelling goes down.
I wonder if my phone is spying on me haha, I just talked to my sister over the phone about what causes headache (as I suffer from migraine) a minute ago or two and after we said goodbye I went to yt and here it was as a recommendation.
‼️‼️ My mother had a headache every day. Her migraine pain was so severe that she fainted for a short time. We went to the different doctors many times and finally a doctor said that my mother clenched her teeth while she was sleeping. Apparently, her chewing muscle (masseter muscle) is swollen from clenching her teeth too much. This chewing muscle would trigger migraines too much and cause persistent headaches and earaches. With the botox procedure ( bruxism botox ) applied to the chewing muscle, the pain is now relieved. I hope it was useful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Used to have (migraine bouts) headache everyday, was heavily depended on Asprin or paracetamol. Investing in pranayam breathing exercise from past 7 years has reduced my headaches significantly (almost negligible). Now headaches are things of past.
One day, I went to work feeling rather off from a night of carousing. About an hour after my shift began, I started getting distortions in my vision -- a weird, shimmering kaleidoscope-like effect that expanded, and could be seen in each eye's field of vision in the same quadrant, until it covered nearly 1/4 of the visual field. Recognizing it was some sort of brain-related issue, I called for an ambulance, but by the time they arrived (which was quickly!), the distortion in my vision was already starting to fade. I spent 5 hours in the ER, had a CAT scan and an MRI, and was, at the end of all this, told by a rather disgusted ER physician that they had found nothing wrong with me. Which is great, right? However, there was still the mystery of just what had happened to me, this bizarre, unnerving brain malfunction that came entirely out of nowhere. I reached out to folks on the social media I prefer to use, and described the event in detail. A week later, one of my friends from Texas piped up, as soon as he saw it, and told me that what I had experienced was a migraine aura without pain -- I had experienced the one and only silent migraine of my entire life (then, mid-40s). If it ever happens again, I'll know better than to run to the ER without giving the condition the 20-30 minutes or so it usually takes to resolve.
I get this from time to time. Sometimes mild-to-moderate pain follows so it's best to take some painkillers as soon as the aura starts. If you have something potentially risky planned, like operating machines or driving, it's also reasonable to call off/ postpone because you may feel fatigued.
I get migraines all the time. I’ve been to the hospital many times also had brain scans, tried tons of different medications. I hate migraines so much, I normally vomit from them and my vision gets so blurry. My mum used to get migraines too and she used to get injections to stop them, never worked for her though.
Had migraines with aura since primary school and no one was able to give me a diagnosis until i was 26. I had all the symptoms plus vomitting which led all doctors to believe it was because something i ate or slow bile and no one believed me when i told them i had geometric hallucinations, tingeling sensations and all of that. Great job.
I had a headache when I started this video. I paused it, drank half a litre of water, a cup of tea and had a soup, and now feel like I never even felt bad. Water is brilliant and you're absolutely right!
As someone who couldn't explain what type of pain I've been feeling to the doctor, this video helped me explain better. But also made me a little depressed when I heard the migraine don't have a complete solution
I suffer from a weird similarity of cluster and migraines. Severe throbbing pain behind my left eye. But it can go on for hours to days. I've described it as "Imagine someone slipped a spoon behind your eye and every time your heart pumps, someone's trying to pry your eyeball out with that spoon.
Mine is left eye too but burning from behind it and it can last two days without stop plus I have aura and if I smell anything or see any type of light I get tortured. Sometimes my speech get slurred too plus bunch of other stuff. To sum up I have both?
@@DamagedF0X Sneezing or coughing feels like your brain fell down! Most of the time I cannot move but sometimes the pain is so severe that I have to sit and rock back and forth like in a cluster headache. The nausea is a regular for me.
@@lusikgasp9512 I can't move. Moving increases heart rate. As I mentioned above, every time my heart beats, my head throbs. The pain sometimes is so intense behind my eye that it radiates to my teeth. Excedrin Migraine works really well if I take it soon enough. Otherwise all I can do is sit completely still in a dark room.
I get cluster headaches, I’d say at least 4 a week if I’m lucky and upwards in the teens on a bad week. For some strange reason chewing gum helps the pain behind my eye, specifically mint gum mixed with Tylenol it’s a temporary relief. Sometimes it gets so painful I get like a pseudo migraine and get super sensitive to light so I’ll wear sunglasses everywhere when it’s like that.
here are some reasons you have a headache: -stress -anxiety -dehydration (DRINK WATER!!) -lack of sleep -(for my girlies) hormonal or premenstrual -inherited headaches -puberty (it can also cause headaches) -too hot or too cold in the room -concentrating on something for too long. -eye sight can be weak. *take some time for yourself guys, go outside and have a walk drink some water, maybe even have a cooling shower, and just relax.* ✨
Tough thing about headaches is you don't always have the same constellation of symptoms. Not every cluster headache has horner like symptoms and not all migraines have auras. Common thing professors say is patients don't read text books xD

When I was 9 I started getting horrific headaches. Eventually I would get nauseous and eventually sick. I was missing a lot of school and the headaches were getting worse, and being accompanied by other symptoms (unbalanced, shaky hands, etc) so my parents brought me for a blood test, then a CAT scan. A week after the scan they packed my bags whilst I was at school and we drove to a children’s hospital 5 hours away. Turns out I had a rare tumour which was causing spinal fluid to build up in my skull * (Hydrocephalus) *. It required 2 brain surgeries to fix and some radiation therapy because of the sucker was coming back for round 2 (didn’t get ill that time, doctors spotted it quickly).
Moral of the story?/ *TLDR*: Take persistent headaches seriously, it could be something malevolent.
brain surgery sound terible for me but glad to hear that you got over it.

I suffered from migraines for 20 yrs, so bad I felt like my eyeball was going to pop out and sometimes the pain would make me nauseous, sometimes vomiting helped relieve the pain. I couldn’t stand the light and sometimes noise, I had to be in the silent dark. Turns out I’m sensitive to certain foods and/or just lacked certain enzymes. I’ve switched up my diet, mainly avoiding gluten. I went from having up 2 headaches a week to zero in almost a year.
gooood fr you! nothing better than discovering the root cause of ur headache and then getting it treated!
I'm so glad you were able to figure out what the cause was. I think it's the first time I've really seen a food diary/tracking situation really work, tho I do have foods that will make my migraine worse (I'm one of those who has one 24/7, the intensity just varies) and they're all foods with higher-than-average sulfur content.
Hope you're still doing well!
maybe neurologists and scientists can use this info to help other people suffering from migraines
Yea, I also have migraines but dont know the cause yet, probably from food.
you took the words from my mouth, i have what you have plus blinding aura and cluster headaches
I have been having headache since 3 days and TH-cam literally recommended me this video
if i was you i'll be so tirrified this is weird
"What causes headaches?"
Google: obviously brain tumour.

Not necessarily
Get a joke , will ya ?
Fortunately, doctors today don’t use power tools to cure headaches.
OH YEAH, THANKS FOR THE COMFORT
I’ve seen a video of someone self-trepanning with an actual, literal powertool on youtube. He thought he was going to get ”a third eye” (spiritual mumbo jumbo) and increase brain blood volume (who cares if it does?)

Cause it is!
who is else watching this while actually having a headache ?
I am
YESS HAHA. 🤣
I am. My kids stress me out headaches
I remember my first migraine. I was 11 or 12, and it was in the evening when my mom was cooking dinner. I started having those auras, and they really did look like geometric shapes bouncing around behind my eyes. I got sick and threw up.
That was the beginning of a terrible lifelong relationship with migraines.
Yeah they're horrible. I got my first during a PE class. It was suddenly hard to focus and I started to see sawtooth waves. I started feeling light-headed and nauseous when I walked home, but I managed. Half an hour later I got the most painful headache I ever had had at that time.
Why dont you just breakup with it 🤷🏽♂️ its obviously a toxic relationship that only causes you pain and suffering
@@TheFARM2019 lol we're legally separated
Mine started when I was 24, after dyeing my hair. The fumes made me sick and my head was throbbing in the middle of the night. I have recurring migraines ever since, and I get "smell auras" almost always
@@rainmanj9978 I take Topamax which seems to handle my migraines pretty effectively. Now if I get one, there's usually an external cause, like weather or illness or something like that.
I had seriously bad headaches as a child but didn't complain too bad about them because I thought they were normal. They only got worse as a teenagers and still did nothing. By my 20s I was self treating heavily with tylenol and ibuprofen and I'm worries I might have done a lot of harm.
Two things happened: the realization that I was having migraines and my mother passing away due to strokes.
One day in 2018, I had a severe migraine that caused me to go temporarily blind. I went to my doctor knowing that my mother died from a brain disease. Got referred for a CT scan. Got a call: "We need you to come in for more testing." 1 test became a battery of tests. They were testing me for everything including brain cancer.
Finally I got my diagnosis: I have moyamoya disease. A rare degenerative cardiovascular disease and the only cure is surgery. Without it, I would die, probably due to a stroke like my mother. So in fall of 2019 I had my brain surgery. A cerebral bypass on my right side. That first week post surgery was the worst pain in my life and I experienced some wonky symptoms, like losing my sense of music. But I got better.
I'm well over a year post surgery now and it's night and day. My headaches are less frequent, so are my migraines. It made me realize that I need to listen to my body. Don't take your health for granted. If you have daily headaches, that's not normal and you should talk to your doctor.
glad you are better now my dude

@@tulipiscute if nothing else, it tells us that the people who did the editing and graphics and the people who approved all of that work absolutely do not experience migraines of any kind lol
Thought exactly the same!
As a child I was told that an ordinary headache can be caused by being on the sun. I thought sun rays shouldn't cause a headache until I realized that also a cold wind can cause one, so headaches can be temperature related. Being a little scientist that I was, on one headachey evening I went to bed with a winter cap on and the pain went away or if I took a really hot shower. It worked. No need for aspirin. On a long 6 hour bus ride to Siem Reap I got a headache from that strong aircon air and I already knew that tension headaches can be neck muscles pulling on your skull, so I went for a neck massage. Again, it went away!
It's good to know what headaches are instead of just popping pills everytime you have one.
No shame in medicating for a chronic condition either. Yes, if you can manage it another way, great. That's lucky to me.
I wish it were still that simple

I'm 14, and for as long as I can remember I've had recurring migraines. Sometimes when it gets too painful I take painkillers, but it doesn't work all the time. Sometimes I have to endure an insane amount of pain till I can release it, and by releasing I mean vomiting. It's not only making me go through so much pain(that I want to bash my head onto a wall.), it's also causing me to take way too many pills for my age. It affects my daily life, and I have no choice. I get migraines whenever it's too hot(I live in a country with hot weather), whenever I starve when I skip a meal, when I smell a crazy strong perfume, from radiation(I'm guessing since I get it whenever I use my PC or phone too long), and sometimes I don't even know the cause :((
I just wanna be over it already broo
Edit: I didn't know those pattern thingies were because of migraine!! I see it often when it's dark or sometimes whenever I space out or just randomly. I honestly thought it was a normal thing.
EDIT, EXTRA INFO: My mother also has recurring migraines, I personally think it's inherited??
Me, my grandfather and his related nephews all have migraines and headaches that never seem to go away so I think it's inherited.
I think my migraines are a bit less severe than yours but i'll wake up in the middle of the night with vertigo and keep throwing up just to sleep for another hour.
For me I don't have the ability to focus on something for a long period of time because of the pain which sometimes causes me to skip assignments or not display my best efforts.
You can't get headaches from radiation. Human body chemistry is literally physically incompatible with radiation. You would have to be made out of metal to be affected by radiation but radiation just goes trought the body
Migraines are inherited Sadly if ur family has ur likely going to get migraines as well
I also used to have alot of migraines, triggers where also heat, and after emotional stress. I am now taking magnesium supplements and went from 15+ a year to about two (and they where 2 consecutive days after someone passed unexpectedly). It meight nog work for everyone but it could be worth a try. I am so happy to be almost migraine free now :) :) :)
@@JitteJorritsma Your triggers are quite similar to mine. The worst trigger for me is focusing for too long and stressing out. I'm going to try some magnesium powder everyday wish me luck I hope it helps ease my headaches!
I knew a guy who didn’t get headaches, not saying he never had it but it was extremely rare he had that. Lucky guy.
My husband's grandma is 91 and the first time she ever got a headache she was 84, due to eye strain. She was struggling to see as she was developing cataracts. She hardly has ever been sick either. The only times she has been very ill has been during her pregnancies in her 30s, during menopause, and a uterine prolapse later in life. She's healthier than most people half her age.
My dad very rarely had a headache (we're talking maybe once every five years) and if he did, he took an aspirin and was fine. The only time he had a headache that required something stronger than aspirin was when he had a TIA (mini-stroke). We went to the ER, they admitted him and they gave him some morphine (2mg IV, which made him not only headache-free but high asf!!). He subsequently had more TIAs (and headaches) and died a year later at 73 years old.
My friend says that she has never had a headache either. Those are some lucky people I must say
@@apurvasawant811 I'm one of those people. I assumed they were rare until it came up that I don't get them in my mid-twenties. Never put any thought to it until then. They seem like one of the worst things a person can endure, especially if they're reoccurring. You all have my sympathy.
I am one of those guys

I once had a really bad migraine during school but i didnt mind it because i thought it would just go away, boy was i wrong. After school, i still had a study group to go to and i couldn’t wait to go home. When i did though, i was so dizzy and my head hurt so much, i rushed to the bathroom to vomit. My parents thought that i went partying with my study group and that i was drunk and they grounded me but i couldn’t even explain because i was so delirious and had to rest. When i woke up i told them i wasn’t feeling well and they gave me the “hangover talk” but i told them that i had just got a really bad migraine. 😂😅
@@jonassolivio5487 awww that sucks lol people who have never experienced vomiting with a migraine would never know. I didn't even know until it happened to me. I think you should screenshot these comments and send them to your parents for a good laugh and tell them they owe you 100 bucks for the punishment 😂🤣 one piece of advice is deal with the migraine before it even gets that bad. First sign of a headache I start taking tylenol or motrin (or whatever is available) and then I relax. The only ones I can't help are the ones I wake up with...
I don’t think I have ever had a migraine. I didn’t know they can last for days.
Great now I have a headache
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Writing this down in case it helps someone who still hasn't figured out the cause for their migraine. In my college years I started having really bad migraines, the ones that include auras and even some dysphasia. After going to many doctors, one of them (Im still so grateful for this man 10 years later) hit the jackpot, my migraines were the result of whiplash injury (from a car accident when I was a kid). He then advised therapy and aerobic exercises, and i haven't experienced another aura migraine ever since!

Actually, I was just curious, but I do usually watch this stuff when I have a headache
100%
Great vid for the most part, but this has one pretty substantial inaccuracy at 0:37 - Trepanning IS still used today. It's interesting because it's among the most ancient techniques that are used today. However, it's obviously not used for headaches, it's used for swelling of cerebrospinal fluid...which often manifests itself as severe headaches. Plus, modern equipment is obviously much less intrusive than that used in ancient Greece. It's not outright wrong, but it's definitely misinformative to say "doctors today don't resort to power tools or trepanning."

Reminded me of Earthbound for some reason.
I looked and it without blinking and then headache started ;_;
Sometimes I feel like I leave these videos with more questions than answers. But I still love watching Ted-Eds videos. I do learn lot more in a 5 minute video than I do in years of studying the topic. They do give a lot of information in their videos but sometimes it seems like they leave the question of the video open to interpretation or just open so I'm left thinking "wait, what?"
I've grown up with migraines, and I had them from every other day to once a week. Light, noise and motion sensitivity, it caused me to throw up when I was younger and I used to have a nosebleed after certain migraine attacks. My vision become blurry prior to migraine and it's a throbbing, almost pulsating pain, feels like a knife is being shoved into the skull. It usually last around 8h but it could be between 5 and 14h. I have migraines after prolonged static motion, changes in air pressure and weather especially prior to thunderstorms, nervosity, anxiety, stress or sleep deprivation. At least those are the patterns we saw, yet sometimes it didn't have any reason. Sometimes my muscles tense up from my neck down to my lower back and causes a severe pain, other times there are no physical indicators to cause pain. I learned to follow my body, sleep when I felt tired, eat when hungry and drink when thirsty, if I tried to force anything I would soon regret that. Changes internally also helps alot, even if you don't feel stressed you might still be stressed because of where you are and what's around you, so changes in scenary can help
My symptoms and patterns are very similar to yours.
@@PastelBrushes-n-Donuts same here lol I always get nosebleeds after migraine etc
What is the reason behind headaches?
Having a HEAD my boy... Having a HEAD!!
When I was a kid 30 something years ago, the only thing that made a migraine go away was sleep or vomiting.
same thing for me
Same ! It always goes away after vomiting or after sleep . Mostly the former.
Same for me. Can I ask what changed?
Darkness and not moving. Sometimes a cup of coffee. Def Tylenol 1,2,or3 if u have em.
Ur old
For those who experience minor headaches (like those on one side of the head), I suggest you give meditation or short-burst breathing a try. For the short-burst breathing, try to isolate yourself away from any noise around you, get a place to sit (in a meditation position if possible), close your eyes, and breath in and out quickly by inhaling/exhaling about 10% of your lungs total capacity. It should feel like you're doing 2 inhales and 2 exhales in one second. Try breathing using your mouth.
It really works wonders for me. It doesn't get rid of the headache completely, but you should find the beating pulse reduced a lot (if you're lucky it could go away entirely). It could take some 5 to 15 minutes depending on how you do it. Hope it works for anyone reading this.
every damn comment here has the word “headache” in it
Mia ok
twntyoneshields It’s a video about headaches. What did you expect?
so strange ngl
Including you

The cartoon guy is the definition of getting screwed literally
heres a tip: instead of popping pain relievers eat some almonds, about 15 or so. theyre high in vitamin e and help regulate the blood flow to help clear up headaches. they work really well
That could work too
A very small percentage of people get relief through supplements.
My girlfriend has been suffering with migraines for around 4 years. We believe what triggered them was an emotional stress due to a family member passing out because that's around the time she started having them. She went to the doctor and made a lot of tests and they found nothing that could explain her migraines. She's now diagnosed with chronic migraines and had to go a couple times to the emergency because her migraines were soo intense nothing could make them go away. We're now to the point where she litreally has headaches on a daily basis and nothing seems to work out fine to relieve the pain. Last option would be medical botox injections (which is completely different from esthetic botox injections) as it seems to have worked for a lot of migraine patients. It has proven to reduce the amount of migraines one has by 50% and sometimes even more. Hopefully we can find something to help relieve her pain 🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing this. I am the exact same. I have been for many tests, headache clinic, CT scan and still nothing. Countless medication which nothing seems to work. Botox is the next option for me. If my new prevention medication doesn't work. I hope your girlfriend gets answers and is pain free soon 🙏
Hi . Please look into wet cupping or accupuncture.. really works
i cannot imagine having headache on everyday basis, i am currently having headache and the thing i want the most rn is get rid of that pain, i hope her migraine problem gets solved as soon as possible.

I felt sorry to see that man-drawing going through all that pain, so I felt relieved when I saw him smile in the last minute or so.
Its like they knew I was having a headache! I've had this headache for days now, coming and going. Been taking 3 ibuprofen tabs every few hours and its not working.
****************
UPDATE: The day after I posted this comment, I had my blood pressure measured at my dentist appointment. It came out to 158/80! Which was really unusual for me since my blood pressure is usually between 115-130/70. I wasnt nervous or anything so it couldn't have been that. Had my bp measure at the end of my appointment and it was 160/70. I went home and used my dad's bp cuff on both my arms and it repeatedly said my bp was in the 160s and 170s. At one point it had gotten up to 191.
It all added up: I was extremely stressed out from school and been having regular headaches followed by painful migraines for 4 days in a row. I went to see the next available doctor at my clinic the same day. Turns out it was likey due to a combination of lack of sleep and stress. My bp was taken so much that day that both my upper arms became bruised and sore (from blood testing). I spent the whole day after that just relaxing and slept for most of the day. I cannot wait for this semester to be over with!!
Thanks everyone for your concern!
bittermelonleaf Might sound weird but smelling an apple/eating an apple helps.
Go see a doctor
Did you try Excedrin. It always works for me.
Just be careful with taking too much ibuprofen, it can aggravate your headache and cause a medicine overuse headache.
I hope you found a cure. Ibuprofen is pretty bad.
I've noticed that my headaches go away when I eat healthier.
My parents always thought I was faking my headaches back in the days when they told me to study, but that wasn't a lie. Still living with it tho 😭🤕
My parents were the same.

Interesting. I've had daily headaches since I was 8, and recently had an MRI where they found a long-term sinus infection that was putting pressure on blood vessels. Got treated for it and have had far fewer headaches since. Still get occasional headaches every few days, unfortunately.
I love how the background music sounds close to how a headache feels like.. at least to me
When I get a headache I listen to rain fall sounds and imagine myself alone in a forest away from my stress living space, it brings me peace and it goes away every time. Idk if this is what you call meditation.
I have chronic migraines that started after I had a grand mal seizure when I was 9. I’ve been to many doctors, but I feel like I learned more in this video about them than I have from any of the doctors tbh. I’ve found that treximet (sumatriptan+aleve) works really well for relief. And Ajovy is a pretty good preventative
Rizatriptan has worked very well for me.
I used to get pain behind my right eye, especially when I was tired. A few years later I found that had 2 brain aneurysms and pain behind the eye is a common symptom of brain aneurysm. Luckily for me, mine were found before they ruptured, and I have had them coiled.
The animation for migraines is so accurate to what I experience. Going to show this when ppl ask me to describe my migraines. My cluster headaches are not so clearly animated, but there is a sense of what I experience! Thanks 🙏
As a chronic migraine sufferer, headaches are debilitating and these videos are so helpful
YES! Let's do a Ted Ed about headaches and use a lot of pulsating shapes in annoying colors so all headache prone people who want to learn about headaches get a headache while finding out about headaches! Way to go @TED-Ed
@@l.o.1352 naw it genuinely is an issue especially if you're epileptic or just generally sensitive to flashing lights
If you know that causes your headaches and are going to watch a video about what causes headaches...wouldnt it be expected.
@@debrabyrd2544 No... this is the last video you'd expect to intentionally display migraine triggers. In most videos, you are taking a chance. But in videos that will be watched mainly by people who suffer from migraines (or other headaches)... you'd expect something less flashy. It's like clicking a video about epilepsy and getting bombarded by strobe lights. It doesn't make any sense.
Yep, there should have been a trigger warning
@@debrabyrd2544 Worrying LOWERS immune system honey.
Must manage stress by talking walks/ quiet time in NATURE- very important. Eat at least 4 hrs BEFORE u lay down.
AVOID drinking anything AFTER EATING PLEASE.
Fruit LOWERS Blood pressure and apples banana n pears prevent strokes.
Avoid watermelon with and after food. Watermelon and Apple must NEVER BE eaten at night-
Watermelon MUST b eaten on empty stomach.

I'd wouldn't even wish headaches upon my worst enemies.
My dad,50+ now, have had severe sinus a few years ago that literally had him crying in pain and agony .
Doctors gave him medications ,treated him had an MRI done and I'm so glad he is okay now...
this was super helpful, i’ve been having headaches all my life almost every day, this really helps! thank you
Have you went to a doctor ?
I find the situation with primary headaches quite fascinating, firstly I never experienced those and I guess no one from my surrounding ever complained about such suffering; but video mentioned that both types of headaches occurs with probability of 50/50…
I’ve actually heard that occasionally trepanning can be an effective treatment of last resort for encephalitis, and for extreme cases doctors use methods like surgically removing pieces of the skull, allowing the brain to swell through them, and replacing the pieces when the swelling goes down.
Subdural hematoma. Can be life threatening without relieving pressure!
This topic is really amazing. I love Ted-ed.
I'm Spanish speaker and I practice my listening with Ted.

I wonder if my phone is spying on me haha, I just talked to my sister over the phone about what causes headache (as I suffer from migraine) a minute ago or two and after we said goodbye I went to yt and here it was as a recommendation.
And headaches can cause paranoia.
Migraine is the worst one right!
If you have a device that uses Cortana then yes, it is listening. As does any Amazon device like the echo.
It’s your assigned FBI agent putting in work!
No don’t be crazy, of course your phone isn’t spying on you. Obviously your sister is gaslighting you with her internet magic

My mother had a headache every day. Her migraine pain was so severe that she fainted for a short time. We went to the different doctors many times and finally a doctor said that my mother clenched her teeth while she was sleeping.
Apparently, her chewing muscle (masseter muscle) is swollen from clenching her teeth too much.
This chewing muscle would trigger migraines too much and cause persistent headaches and earaches.
With the botox procedure ( bruxism botox ) applied to the chewing muscle, the pain is now relieved. I hope it was useful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Used to have (migraine bouts) headache everyday, was heavily depended on Asprin or paracetamol. Investing in pranayam breathing exercise from past 7 years has reduced my headaches significantly (almost negligible). Now headaches are things of past.

Parastou Najd how did u do it
Yeah it really helps
One day, I went to work feeling rather off from a night of carousing. About an hour after my shift began, I started getting distortions in my vision -- a weird, shimmering kaleidoscope-like effect that expanded, and could be seen in each eye's field of vision in the same quadrant, until it covered nearly 1/4 of the visual field. Recognizing it was some sort of brain-related issue, I called for an ambulance, but by the time they arrived (which was quickly!), the distortion in my vision was already starting to fade. I spent 5 hours in the ER, had a CAT scan and an MRI, and was, at the end of all this, told by a rather disgusted ER physician that they had found nothing wrong with me.
Which is great, right? However, there was still the mystery of just what had happened to me, this bizarre, unnerving brain malfunction that came entirely out of nowhere.
I reached out to folks on the social media I prefer to use, and described the event in detail. A week later, one of my friends from Texas piped up, as soon as he saw it, and told me that what I had experienced was a migraine aura without pain -- I had experienced the one and only silent migraine of my entire life (then, mid-40s). If it ever happens again, I'll know better than to run to the ER without giving the condition the 20-30 minutes or so it usually takes to resolve.
I get this from time to time. Sometimes mild-to-moderate pain follows so it's best to take some painkillers as soon as the aura starts. If you have something potentially risky planned, like operating machines or driving, it's also reasonable to call off/ postpone because you may feel fatigued.
Who else has a headache right now? 🙋🏻♀️🤕
Me
I get migraines all the time. I’ve been to the hospital many times also had brain scans, tried tons of different medications. I hate migraines so much, I normally vomit from them and my vision gets so blurry. My mum used to get migraines too and she used to get injections to stop them, never worked for her though.
Kels X I’m sorry you have to go through that :((
HI
me
Had migraines with aura since primary school and no one was able to give me a diagnosis until i was 26. I had all the symptoms plus vomitting which led all doctors to believe it was because something i ate or slow bile and no one believed me when i told them i had geometric hallucinations, tingeling sensations and all of that. Great job.
Oliver Sacks book is one of my all-time faves. absolutely fascinating stories that give insight into how each area of the brain functions
Me: sitting there doing nothing. My head: okay headache time
In my own remedy, drinking enough water will help cure headaches.
with enough rest of course
Felix Zach Asilom i’ve noticed that it definitely helps!
Really!!!!
That's for headaches caused by dehydration, a very common cause for headaches. Having an empty stomach can also cause headaches.
I had a headache when I started this video. I paused it, drank half a litre of water, a cup of tea and had a soup, and now feel like I never even felt bad. Water is brilliant and you're absolutely right!
Anyone watching this whilst having a headache?

As someone who couldn't explain what type of pain I've been feeling to the doctor, this video helped me explain better. But also made me a little depressed when I heard the migraine don't have a complete solution
I suffer from a weird similarity of cluster and migraines.
Severe throbbing pain behind my left eye. But it can go on for hours to days.
I've described it as "Imagine someone slipped a spoon behind your eye and every time your heart pumps, someone's trying to pry your eyeball out with that spoon.
Mine is left eye too but burning from behind it and it can last two days without stop plus I have aura and if I smell anything or see any type of light I get tortured. Sometimes my speech get slurred too plus bunch of other stuff. To sum up I have both?
@@lusikgasp9512 Moving around makes it worse for me. So far the worst thing that can happen to me when I have a full on migraine is sneezing.
@@DamagedF0X Sneezing or coughing feels like your brain fell down! Most of the time I cannot move but sometimes the pain is so severe that I have to sit and rock back and forth like in a cluster headache. The nausea is a regular for me.
@@lusikgasp9512 I can't move. Moving increases heart rate. As I mentioned above, every time my heart beats, my head throbs. The pain sometimes is so intense behind my eye that it radiates to my teeth. Excedrin Migraine works really well if I take it soon enough. Otherwise all I can do is sit completely still in a dark room.
Apt description.
As an avid migraine sufferer since the age of 8 and diagnosed at 16, I love this video
They didn't cover what caused my headache. It was a hockey stick to the head.
Alex Silverstein Actually they kinda did.
1:14 head and neck injury is a trigger for secondary headaches
1:16 They do mention head and neck injury.
That is literally the caused of your headache.

I get cluster headaches, I’d say at least 4 a week if I’m lucky and upwards in the teens on a bad week. For some strange reason chewing gum helps the pain behind my eye, specifically mint gum mixed with Tylenol it’s a temporary relief. Sometimes it gets so painful I get like a pseudo migraine and get super sensitive to light so I’ll wear sunglasses everywhere when it’s like that.
Feel you. Am a cluster pacient too, in my case, I need a very salty soup after an attack and stay in bed almost a week.
Magic mushrooms can help, please please look into it so you might end your suffering.
here are some reasons you have a headache:
-stress
-anxiety
-dehydration (DRINK WATER!!)
-lack of sleep
-(for my girlies) hormonal or premenstrual
-inherited headaches
-puberty (it can also cause headaches)
-too hot or too cold in the room
-concentrating on something for too long.
-eye sight can be weak.
*take some time for yourself guys, go outside and have a walk drink some water, maybe even have a cooling shower, and just relax.* ✨

What exam is that?
probably some information about how a brain works or functions or what causes pain.. hmm
Therapeutics: Pain - Prescribing, Causes & Types, Management, Pathophysiology, Non - Pharma etc
Good luck
Tough thing about headaches is you don't always have the same constellation of symptoms. Not every cluster headache has horner like symptoms and not all migraines have auras. Common thing professors say is patients don't read text books xD

I had cluster headaches twice, It's the worst pain I ever felt.
Yeah but migraines don’t compare to kidney stones
@@kingslayerx1716 even I have migraine, but ya I can clearly understand your point
@@kingslayerx1716 Well, at least kidney stones don't happen QUITE as often.
I already read the book suggested at the end of the video. It's awesome! I'd like to recommend Phantoms in the Brain, by S. Ramachandran, too! It's even better!

Migraine... my scary ailment that attacks me once a while, like periods, but only worse. I actually feel breathless when it happens. My doctor told me to sleep without pillows for a while. I tell you, I am sleeping all day now.

Naruto fillers.
A-Man The General what?
He's talking about the parts of the story in the anime Naruto which existed to extend the story and has no actual relevance to the plot.
The only filler in Naruto was the couple episodes where they were breaking the fourth wall and reacting to past episodes while using a talkshow platform cliche
Sumaiya Khanom I also remembered the crossover with other animes that were obviously not canon
+cough pillbox I'm talking about the episodes that aired after the canon story,which took 76 episodes.
And I think it's just a matter of opinion whether they were good or bad.
My boyfriend has suffer from headaches and migraines since he was young and nothing ever works doctors couldn’t even help him 😩😓
