Okay I need some advise... I was sick for almost 2 weeks... started having all sorts of pressure headaches... started feeling better, finally have my sense of smell back, I breathe easily through both sides... however, the headaches have not gone away! It's strange because when I wake up in the morning, I feel fine, as the day goes on, my head starts to feel more and more pressure... by bedtime it feels like a full blown migraine! I have tried every possible 'trick' I know... taken Tylenol, used ice packs, heating pads, pressure points, I've been hydrating... even took Tylenol with some caffeine to see it that helped... I'm seriously at a loss! I have an appointment on Thursday... but I'm seriously, sooooo tired of all this pressure!

I had the same problem. Take a nice warm shower and just let the water run on your head. Sit in there til there's no hot water left. If you have the time. It helped me!

@shellbell0391, that was the only relief I got while sick... so maybe that will help now too!

@owenjacesmama, I'll try to increase water even more than normal!

Have you had your blood pressure checked? An increased BP can cause intense headaches too.

@mamawallace1201, yeah I check it every time I have a headache... had preeclampsia with my first... SO I know it's nothing to play with... and it's always on the lower side of normal... 🙄😞 it's plain annoying! Wish I could find the 'smoking gun' but so far it's none of the normal reasons I would have a headache! I've even checked my blood sugar... and that's perfect as well!

@shellbell0391, I just took a nice hot shower... my head felt better... but now that I'm out, I feel it creeping in again! 😞@owenjacesmama, tomorrow I'm going to actually measure how much liquid I'm taking in... I usually just guess, based on how many glasses I drink... but maybe I'm over estimating and that's causing me to be slightly dehydrated... I feel like I'm going to the bathroom about the same as always... but after being sick maybe my body needs me to kick it up a notch

A good way to know how much water you should drink a day, is half your body weight in ounces. (Example: you weigh 150, you drink 75 ounces of water). I know of an all natural supplement that can help, usually approved by OB GYN. I can even give you an ingredient list to give to your doctor. It got rid of my headaches and allergies completely.

@mamawallace1201, my midwife says 100 oz, and I won't deal with dehydration... I've been really close to that each day... but I'll make sure today I get at least that much!

Yeah, what sucks is that drinking that much just means more time in the bathroom! Especially at night, the bigger baby gets.

@mamawallace1201, I know! It's like I already get up 3-4 times a night! I told my husband I'm investing in adult diapers 3rd trimester! 😂😂😂 so far today I'm at 86 oz... if I finish what I have in front of me, I'll be at 124oz! But currently I don't have a headache... had one earlier today... but this very second I don't! 😍

Well that's good! And yeah. I work in surgery and have given serious thought to adult diapers. I'm not pregnant now, but still. Once you have a kid it changes your body! My bladder will never be the same.

I'm still up at least once a night to pee.

@mamawallace1201, yeah... that's how I knew I was pregnant this time... I swear from the moment of conception, I was up 3 times a night to pee! 😂🙄 instead of my usual once! lol I would get so excited the nights I actually slept through the night because I did not get up to pee! 😂
