Have you experienced having a flashing headache, wherein it happens intermittently ? You feel it now , then in a while it’s gone . In a little while it comes back , then gone again . I felt that way last Sunday , after taking bath . I was sweated profusely , after cleaning the bedroom so I wiped it and rested for about 30 minutes before finally taking a bath . It was the first time that I have felt it . It is like a flash that creeps on the upper left side of my head , intermittently . I was afraid , that I might be having a stroke , since I have just been from the reunion , where we I ate much of the Bicol express and the lechon . I texted my daughter about it . Then, she asked me questions and it was ruled out I am having as stroke . Then , hubby told me to rub White Flower embrocation in my temples . So I did and laid down to rest . The flashing headache was gone , it didn’t come back anymore . We slept unworried . But i think , this was a sign that i was having a borderline BP that i have just previous discussed here .

I am glad that you got rid of your headache. Headaches are not any fun.

Actually , i rarely have headaches . And when i have , i just sniff at my White Flower embrocation and rub my temples , they would be gone in a minute .

@SIMPLYD I get bad sinus headaches, but I've had them since childhood, so they're a known quantity.

Don't take it easy friend, see a doctor so that you will be monitored earlier. My son told me that if we felt something bad and unusual, we have to consult a doctor because there are plenty of cases of heat stroke nowadays.

You had vertigo too some time ago. All this surely leads to your needing a thorough check up.

I think my dear friend you need to monitor your blood pressure. This is a sign of hypertension. If you feel tingling sensation on the left side of your body, it is a sign of heat stroke. But the symptoms varies, if it is localized in one area, perhaps it is a migraine caused by myofascial pain syndrome.

@SIMPLYD You take care of yourself my friend. The incidence of heat stroke is too high during summer season.

It can be due to the eat and to the fact that you needed to drink more water. You say that you sweated profusely, you lost a lot of liquids.

I think you are right . Because of my haste to finish the cleaning of the bedroom , i didn't drink much water . It's because of the heat . I am happy my little bottle of white flower embrocation did its job again

But because it was gone after a few minutes of rubbing the white flower embrocation and i haven't have the symptoms , it was ruled out . Though , it could be also , because the next day , it was discovered that my BP's diastolic is at borderline , when it's usually at normal level .

I hope you're ok now and that kind of headache won't turn up again. I do suffer from headaches but not the type that you described. Mine always starts on the right temple and if the pain really gets bad, I start to feel nauseaous. The pain usually lasts for 3-4 days and sometimes even taking paracetamol doesn't help.

@SIMPLYD I have observed that every time my monthly period is due, I get that headache. It got worse after I gave birth to my 3rd child through CS. I think it has something to do with the anesthesia given to me.

@jcj_111776 Is that so ? Then , it could really be that . Just let it pass and don't take medications . Maybe you should try the White Flower embrocation . You can just rub your temples with it , and in a jiffy , your headache will be gone.

I think yours is a migraine . Imagine having the pain for 3-4 days and feeling nauseaous . So what was the diagnosis when you felt that for 3 days ?

My friend, this sounds not good. I wish you could get checked out by a good doctor to find what might be wrong. Your daughter is right..strokes can be like this and also here they have ways of detecting early symptoms. I wish you blessings..worry about you friend.

Oh so you experienced it too . Thankfully , i don't have a migraine . Though , the first thought that came into my mind as to its cause is the heat . I just came from the beach which was hot then at home the heat outside seem to affect me too while cleaning .

After it was gone when i applied the White flower embrocation , on my temples and sniffed it while resting , i felt happy because i know it's only a minor headache maybe caused by the too much heat from the weather and from cleaning the bedroom thoroughly .

@SIMPLYD I'm glad it wasn't a bad headache. Heat can cause a lot of physical problems. I usually get a headache from too much heat, which is why summer is not my favorite time of year.

That sounds scary! I've never had anything like that. When I get headaches, they are usually pretty severe, to the point that I need to get into bed and sleep. when my husband was alive, he would help me through them in a big way. Now I usually crawl into bed and talk to him and fall asleep remembering the things he used to do for me. I hope your flashing headache never comes back!

I think what you had are migraines . Luckily , i haven't experienced severe headaches , that's why when i experienced this flashing one , it got me scared . But i am happy it was gone after i rubbed white flower embrocation on my temples . I conclude , it's a simple case of headache caused by too much heat .

don't tire yourself, my lady, so you will not have head ache. I remember the head ache I felt that midnight of March 2. It was too painful that I cannot even forget it until now.

@SIMPLYD Rest at intervals, my lady. for sure you know that when your shirt is wet with perspiration, either you put on a towel or change that shirt to a dry one.

Yes, my friend . Once more my white flower proved its efficacy . And by eliminating my flashing headache , it made me conclude it was just because of the too much heat i felt .

Since it was gone after rubbing my temples with white flower , i know it was from the heat and being dehydrated while cleaning our bedroom. So, after it was gone , i wasn't worried anymore . Though next week , i will be having my scheduled quarterly laboratory exams as monitoring of my health by our company's accredited doctor .

You definitely need to discuss this with your doctor and get a check-up. It could be the beginning of a more serious problem.

Yes , i will . I am actually going to have my scheduled quarterly laboratory next week . My doctor wants me to have normal readings always , that's why .

But i feel so well now . Back to normal BP and no headaches at all . It could really be just the heat and my cleaning the bedroom which made me sweat profusely .
