migraine pain

[rainruby]

I am 16 and I've been expeiriencing extreme migraines every day for about a month. I drink tons of water, thinking that the pain is caused by dehydration but it either doesn't help or the pain becomes more extreme. These migraines occur when I put any sort of pressure on the back of my head. For example, I feel fine until I lay down, then the pressure from the pillow causes a migrane within about two minutes and I become extremely dizzy. I would not be worried except for the fact that they occur when slight pressure-even when applied from an object as soft as a pillow-is applied to the back of my head (the migraines do not occur when I apply pressure to the sides of my head). Do you recommend a cat scan??

Also I deleted your other post as we ask to keep your post with the same question to just one.
Thanks for your understanding:)

Yes you definitely need a cat scan and need to see a doctor soon as possible. Migraines can cause sensitivity but what your explaining is alarming. Have you had an injury to your head.
Also does your Mom know about this? She needs to get you an appointment to rule out something more serious and if it is migraines you need to be treated for them.
Let us know how your doing and if when you get an appointment okay. Also we are here if you need anything or even just want to talk.
happy new year
