Other causes of headaches?

[Guest guest]

Well, they have switched my daughter's medicine from Elavil (it was causing

panic attacks and increased suicidal ideation) to Cymbalta yesterday. She

usually wakes up with headaches but today she woke up with a really bad,

debilitating headache that has lasted all day. I remember reading that low

oxygen levels while sleeping can cause headaches and I am planning on getting

her a sleep study when she is a bit more stable but are there any other causes

of headaches that we may be overlooking?

These headaches have been going on for about 3 months or so. We have ruled out

foods (chocolate, etc)...she eats very healthy, no artificial sweetners or

colors. We tried allergy medicine, air purifiers, etc.

I'm just wondering if we could be missing something more obvious that could be

causing her headaches. The neurologist at the hospital she is at is ordering an

MRI because he feels her left side is worse than her right side (which I thought

was not uncommon for CMT).

Also, I just want to take a moment to thank everyone that has been helping me

with my questions. With the situation going on right now with my daughter and

so many decisions needing to be made quickly, I have not had time to thank

everyone for their advice and assistance.
