Hey everyone!

Ive got another question. Is it possible to get a migraine just from looking at a bright light? I was at volleyball practice and they have these huge hanging lamps in the sports complex and I jumped up and looked directly into the light and when I landed I got a shocking pain right above my right eye. (It had been mildly hurting all day, and right before looking into the light I had felt kinda nauseous) It then hurt into my temples and it was POUNDING so I laid my head against a cold surface and it helped...it eventually went away in about an hour but it was SO weird!! All I wanted to do after was pound my head into something it hurt so bad! What the heck was that?!?

Yeah - it might be a good idea to visit a neurologist so they can help you find the right treatment and dianose what kind of headache you are getting. The correct diagnosis is crucial to making the headaches go away!!
