Ice Pick Headaches
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone else get these brief jolts of pain in their head kind of like an electric shock? I used to think nothing of it but now it is more frequent so I am wondering if it is related to endo. My vision also is a bit off.

Go to the doctor asap. Sudden onset of extremely painful headaches especially with vision problems is something doctors want you to tell them about asap. A lot birth control can make migraines worse. But really any fluctuation in hormones can as well. Headache and blurred vision are symptoms of a lot of things in women including vascular/heart problems so best to get checked out by doctor(s). Hope you get relief soon! ❤

I had the same problem. Sometimes before or after my period. I had double vision and horrible headaches. The estrogen swing as I called it would cause highs and lows in estrogen causing these symptoms. It probably affected my glucose. I had to drink something sweet to get rid of the blurry vision and shaky feeling. I used to take Aleve for the headache but it just makes you lethargic. I am a survivor of endo! It gets better with time. Wishing you a life free of pain.
