go away. I've had this headaches since they tried to do that stress test with that drug I had that bad reaction too. Been to my Dr today will have an EKG done on Friday and see my Dr again on the 31, She gave me mega doesage of steroids. My heart rate was 111 which is way to fast. I am so tired but my headache won't let me sleep.

Call your Dr's office today and tell them how you are feeling. They need to know and may want you to come in and have your Blood pressure and heart rate checked.

I went to the Dr yesterday......... I told my Dr how I felt. We have been fighting the rapid heartbeat for a couple of years now. I also have high blood pressure. Alot of my health problems stem from the steroids I take for the asthma. I was supose to have a test for my heart but the drug cause me to go into a severe asthma attack. So they had to cancel the test and I had to wait and be monitored for a couple of hours. They only got 30 seconds into the test. I know that they have another test they can do but it might do the same thing.

I'm sorry you're feeling so bad.

I get migranes sometimes that won't let me sleep. The best remedy I've found (if I can't take a migrane pill) is to lie down in a cool, dark room and rest, even if I can't actually sleep. That's easier said than done with the kids around, but, it helps if I can manage it.

Hope your head feels better soon!

Do you have a hot water bottle? Sometmes if you can get some heat on it, you can relax enough to sleep. Maybe cool wash cloth, over the eyes? Getting sleepy yet?

Did you watch Oprah yesterday? Dr said to press on the inside of the web part of your hand between the thumb & index.. Might work.. he says it works on headaches.

I did not watch Oprah but I have done this trick for years. It's never helped with a severe headache, but it can't hurt!
