Three migraines so far in 2015. The winter weather pressure changes have been brutal this year.

Does anyone else ever get headaches when they talk too much?[/quote]

Yes. I get headaches from talking too much. The over stimulation causes fatigue followed by the anxiety of wishing I hadn't talked so much. :(

I have been getting headaches and migraines for most of my life. My life has been greatly effected by them. I have extreme food intolerance and found that once I stopped eating most foods, they improved, but my brain isn't happy with my current restricted diet, so I'm having them again. If I start or stop eating even one food, I go through a period of headaches....


This is close to my situation. Food is like poison to me. :(

I had seizures until I had my left hippocampus removed last year, but I never had migraines; in fact, I very rarely get headaches of any kind. I guess that's one thing I have going for me.

I get a migraine if I get sensory overloaded for too long. Noises and too much to look at do it.

A male, I've been CT scanned for migraines, just to make sure there was nothing catastrophic. The doctor thought it was noteworthy, that I was ambidextrous and opposite footed.

Besides that my sensory information is disordered, there seems to be so much of it. I feel overwhelmed when dumping data, if that makes sense. There is a body load, which comes with thinking and sensing. I always feel like I've caught a virus, but the symptoms are associated with panic attacks.

I'm a tall and well-fed, heavy lifter, not in any realistic danger, or don't seem to panic when I am in real danger. I think it's mental exhaustion.
