Why do I get a headache when I'm hungry?

@iamnikki YES!! I get tension headaches, well okay I might go a month or two with a minor headache that I can deal with. But just out of the blue, no warnings, boom, strong tension headache all up front. Sometimes Excedrin helps, other times it doesn't seem to do anything.

There for a while I wasn't getting proper sleep, and was taking Excedrin Migraine for the caffeine to help stay awake, so I think I kind of over did it. Now I have had roughly 9 grand-mal seizures since I was 23. Neurologist did a brain MRI. Pefectly clear not one single problem. I've had 3 EEG's done, again all perfectly normal. I am on anti-seizure meds so as long as I take it as prescribed, no seizures.

The doctors have no idea why I get these tension headaches like I do.

@twiigss hmm that's interesting for sure. Doctors dont know too much in my opinion. I should become one.
The best thing that works for mu headaches is a cold towel on my head and eyes

@Solana I try to get more water nowadays vs. 5 years ago. Drinking a diet pepsi right now, but, for 10 hours I was awake, and had absolutely nothing to eat, except a mint and a couple breath strips. At 4pm I had a chicken gyro I got from a greek diner and headache went away after a little, didn't need any medication.

@twiigss oh true if you were drinking water then not sure the source. I get headaches from forgetting to drink water silly me but sometimes the day just passes too quickly

@Solana Well after I ate that gyro, headache went away, probably after 45 minutes to an hour, headache was completely gone.

@stound I get it too but what enkidu is saying sounds about right, it’s like when I diabetic goes into a hypo right?

@stound So I'm also starving my brain as well as my stomach?

@twiigss yeah your brain needs food too lol
