Headaches and Meniere’s disease

I have written before about migraines and how it pertains to Meniere’s disease. I don’t think that I have ever had a migraine but recently with this new flair up of the disease, I find that my head is hurting all the time.

About a week or two ago I went to the doctor and he put me back on blood pressure medicine. In the past I could always tell when my blood pressure was high because I got these terrible headaches that were like nails being driven into the top of my head. After I started to take the bp medicine those types of headaches went away.

While now even after taking the blood pressure medicine for 2 weeks I am still getting bad headaches and I don’t know why. It isn’t my blood pressure because I checked it and it’s not high.

I did go back to my ear specialist yesterday and let him know what was going on with me. We had talked about having reoccurring attacks in the past so there wasn’t much he could tell me. So for now I am just waiting and see if things get better or not.

David, have you tried gingko? It helps blood flow and might help. A lot of people use gingko with Meniere's Disease.

I take a supplement that has gingko in it along with a few other things. I am not positive but I think that it helps.

Headaches have been a constant problem for me with my Meniere's Disease. Everyday is different but rarely does a day go by that I don't suffer with a headache. It is as much a part of me as my constant tinnitus, aural fullness, and hearing loss. Hope yours improve and if not that you can cope. Good luck.
