Chronic Headaches
by Estina Beldon
English Summary by Doug Bowen-Bailey
I came today because I am concerned about my headaches. It’s been going on for a while.
I started getting headaches about 3 or 4 years ago. Not sure if it has something to do with my sleep patterns being not so regular.
But I am concerned about getting them. I don’t know if it is because I don’t get enough sleep or I don’t eat enough for breakfast and that causes them. I’ve been trying to eat breakfast everyday, but I still get headaches sometimes.
I’ve been taking Advil, but I don’t want to take too much. I’d way rather figure out some way to get rid of the headaches without the Advil.
I have been drinking Gato — that’s a hard word for me to spell today — I have been drinking Gatorade as was recommended to me by another doctor. The doctor was thinking I might have low blood sugar or something. It seemed to help a little bit, but I still get headaches.
I’m just wondering if this is normal or not. I’m pretty young, but could it mean I have a brain tumor or something? I’m not sure what it means. Can you please help me?
