Headaches

[kellyh]

Does anyone else suffer from severe headaches on just one side of the temple. They started off slow but my mom has been in constant pain since saturday. she is on the bipap, oxygen,and morphine for pain.

Is the pain in the region of her sinuses ?
Is she getting enough humidity when using her bipap ?

Morphine ? That is heavy duty.

Has she had any scans done , CT , MRI ..

This may be a silly question..but is she hydrated. I know that it is really important to have fluids while taking Morphine. Just food for thought. I hope her pain diminishes quickly

hi Kelly, I was having headaches before i got my Bipap.. Mine were in the back of my head though...When I would wake up in the mornings. Haven't lately . L

If she's on oxygen with her bipap, she might not be blowing off enough CO2 which can cause headaches. Does she have pneumonia? That is about the only time they give O2 to an ALS patient.
