Ergonomics means your postureOriginally posted by starblue:it started along side when i first developed gastric (i always have it when i skip a meal. without fail). wad is poor ergonomics??? and wad is retching???
acidic, watery??? wad the... i didnt notice. is it supposed to be obvious???
another thing Dr, why do i always only get headaches in my left brain area???
Retching means the action of vomiting, but no vomit comes out from the mouth... sometimes if done too excessively, a slight reflux of fluid from the stomach will pass through the esophagus into the mouth giving a salty taste (acidic) known as acid brash (this is the gastroesophageal reflux syndrome)...
Only in your left brain area? Headache? Tell me more about this headache... -
I am also a deadly hynoptist..Originally posted by kaobeikaobu:I notice you don't have an anaesthetist
i can say i'm pretty good at putting ppl to sleep...
*runs away* -
or if you add pus to blood then get a thin watery diluted red mixture?Originally posted by mystiv:watery, i guess -
nope. no retching. no acid brash. unless i hiccup really violently.Originally posted by renorenal:Ergonomics means your posture

usually the headache is a throbbing one, that starts from above the left eye area. then gradually grows to whole left brain. sometimes theres a splitting sensation in the middle of the top of the head. and it doesnt go away unless i go take a good long sleep. the record was a continuous buzzing for 12 hours.... -
This is typical of migraine...Originally posted by starblue:

Does the light or noises irritates you and brings on the headache?
Before suffering an episode of the headache, is your vision interrupted by zig zag lines, black spots or blurry vision? -

Get your stomach checked... Do not just take Losec or other medications whereby ppl may tell you that it is good and can cure your stomach problems... I would be relieved if the doctors rule you out from gastritis... -

nope..i didnt leak out the important infosOriginally posted by renorenal:You want it to be known here? -
maybe just light. like from a computer screen. i dun recall zig zag lines or black spots or blurry vision. but the pain above the eye can get pretty nasty and i have to close my eyes for a while... how do i get quick relief from them if i cannot get to sleep (in lecture for example). and try not to include medication...Originally posted by renorenal:This is typical of migraine...

The typical insult to the gastric lining isOriginally posted by starblue:wad exactly does gastritis entail??? i've always suspected i have an ulcer, or developing one at least.. how can i tell?? my stomach really not good.. haiz.....
first inflammation of the stomach wall --> gastritis
continuous insult will lead to breach of all defensive mechanism of the stomach agaisnt the acidic environment and form an ulcer crate --> peptic ulcer disease
if these are not treated effectively, these ulcers will turn malignant over years and inevitably, this is untreatable, or poor course / prognosis --> gastric carcinoma
The only way to find out if you have an ulcer is through an upper GI endoscopy or traditionally known as OGDS (oesophagogastroduodenoscopy)...
The second method which is less used nowadays is called the barium meal where you are supposed to drink this dye and an X ray is then taken, but this is not very useful nowadays with the invention of endoscopes... -
Usually the typical treatment is to sleep the headache off or to hide in a dark and silent room till the attack has passed by...Originally posted by starblue:maybe just light. like from a computer screen. i dun recall zig zag lines or black spots or blurry vision. but the pain above the eye can get pretty nasty and i have to close my eyes for a while... how do i get quick relief from them if i cannot get to sleep (in lecture for example). and try not to include medication...
Avoid all the triggering factors like cheesy foods, wine, beer, fatty foods or foods high in proten, coffee, coke, tannin (tea) and well, there are more...
There is pitifully no treatment for migraine, except for symptomatic relief with analgesics (painkillers)... -

i have migraines as well...but seldom triggers...guess due to work n insufficient sleep.Originally posted by renorenal:This is typical of migraine...

but when it comes, anything irritates me but won't be able to react to them due to the throbbing pains...usually i would just go into a deep slumber... -

The cause is purely unknown, some believe it is due to cerebral (brain) vessels abnormalities, some believe it is structural abnormalities whereas some belives in hereditary...Originally posted by starblue:what exactly causes migraines?? ion imbalance in the brain?? i once read that for minor headaches, you can try drinking those 100 plus kinda drinks cos they are meant to replenish your body with lost ions and stuff.... true not?
You can try 100 plus, there is no harm, though it is often used for those who have fluid / electrolyte imbalance...
