i know its considered normal to have headaches during pregnancy and i have had them pretty frequently but for the past 2 days its been like a whole left side of the head-ache.. my left eye my left ear and even weirder the last couple teeth on the top and bottom of the left side of my mouth hurt.. my boyfriend thinks i may have an ear infection but i dont know it seems weird to me that my teeth and eye also have been bothering me ..i thought it was just a one day thing yesterday but then again it happend all day today.. i plan on calling my doctor tomorrow to ask her but has anyone ever had this happen or have any idea what it could be?
Sorry I didn't read the other responses but this happened to me when I was pregnant and I remember thinking I had an ear infection. It ended up being a acouple of cavities. My pain was also in the ear and and my eye. The dentist said this is really common for the pain to radiate and to develop dental issues when preg.Good luck.
Sinus infection? Sometimes my upper molars hurt when I have a sinus infection...... and with a sinus infection you get pressure behind the eyes sometimes, also.....
That's what I get sometimes with my chronic sinus infections.
It could be a sinus infection, ear infection or your neck is out of place. Sometimes when my neck is out I can feel like that. If everything checks out at the Drs then my next stop would be at the chiropractor. May just go to the chiropractor anyways... them realigning everything kicks up your immune system so it would be a double bonus.
yup, sinus infection or just a bad cold will give me symptoms on one side of my face including nose, throat, ear, eye, just like you describe. My sister has a unique way of killing the pain: she fills a cotton ball with vodka and stuffs it up in her upper gum near the ear that hurts. Seems to deaden a nerve that runs through the side of your head.
I found that if my head hurts when I comb my hair, right on top of my skull, then I always have a sinus infection. There are sinuses (cavities) all through your head or else our necks would not be able to support our heads. There is one at the crown of you head. Whenever I have a sinus infection it seems that one at the crown gets clogged and it hurts when I comb my hair there. Hope you feel better soon.
I had morning sickness AND migraines with both my pregnancies.
Per my OB/GYN, I had Acupuncture.
Then it was gone.
You should tell your Doctor, about your symptoms, to rule out anything else.
Tell your Doctor.
Each and every single time I get a sinus infection (at least 6mo a year i have sinus infections... hazard of living in a place with more mold than the 3 largest rainforests in the world, combined) it's exactly what you're describing. Right on down to the loose teeth. If you're feeling brave, tap yourself on the forehead or cheek on the side that hurts (warning... it will probably feel like lightening is shooting through your eyeball), and the side that doesn't (will feel like normal tapping).
See your doctor. There are decongestants that are safe to take while pregnant.
ANOTHER thing, though....
Prenatal Vitamins CAUSE headaches and even migraines in a LOT of women. if you're having steady or frequent headaches... stop your prenatals for a week. If the headache goes away... just chew children's vitamins thereafter. My highrisk office recommended Flintstones, but said any kids' chewable will work. You chew them throughout the day, so you don't have the WHOMP that hits your bloodstream.
I did we I was 6wk pregnant (in Nov.)
Horrible headache started on one side and it just kept gettn worse. I got problems with my vision, a ringing in my ears, sensitivity to light, vomiting couldnt keep food down, and I had a fever with the headache. I couldnt even talk much or do anything cuz the pain in my head was horrible.
It got so bad I couldnt eat I lost 15pds in a 3day weeknd. My daugthers father took me to the hospital after he realize I was still in bed after he brought the girls back. So I suggest if you feel worse than it started go to the Dr's or the Er. I also tried taking the pain pills I was told I could take, but it just made me worse an they came back up.
:-) Hope You feel better.
My headaches during pregnancy had my doctor monitoring me very closely as they can be symptoms of preeclampsia. I would call your OB right away to rule that out. Preeclampsia is serious so it is always best to know that you are not dealing with that and if you are, to watch you carefully.
Every time I get a sinus infection my teeth hurt. And sometimes I get pain around my eye. When I bend over it feels like my face is going to fall off. So it could be a sinus infection and ear infection. Try the neti pot if you haven't. It will help and feel better soon!
