Headaches and Autism

JustmeandOURautism

So I have suffered with migraines since I was 12…. They are very closely linked with my time of the month… usually the days leading to my period inhave blurred vision which is my warning sign to take tablets before a full blown migraine comes on.

but I have these weird cluster headaches…. They are not migraines… they are completely different, i feel like my head is in a vice but since looking into the fact an most likely autistic I realise they headaches are caused by the intense stress of life at times…. Has anyone else had this?? Like headaches are directly linked to my autism

  • I get similar.

    For me I get headaches and dizziness and balance problems, all linked but all seemingly related to my autism. I've had scans and tests and no cause was ever found so they think it is just a part of my autism.

    Some days are better than others. Some I can do all my normal things I enjoy but other days I can hardly get out of bed. I find the headache is always there, sometimes it just aches and then sometimes it feels like my head will burst from the pressure.

    It's debilitating and hard to live with but I'm trying my best to adjust to life with this.

    I'm so sorry you suffer from headaches. Is there anything that helps? Is it better when you're stress free. Stress trigger's mine sometimes.

    That’s interesting Renee I have also been diagnosed with Labyrinthitis and when ever I have a bug or a headache it causes dizziness which usually leads to nausea. 

    yes the headaches are definitely stress induced but because I wasn’t aware of my autism before I couldn’t work it out cause I felt like things weren’t that bad even though I was stressed with day to day stuff there was never anything major
