Headaches Worse with Tinnitus and Hyperacusis?

[gameover]

I have occasionally suffered from bad headaches in my life. Usually a double dose of 200 mg Ibuprofen would knock it out sufficiently. Yes, it would suck, but I would suck it up.

I still take Ibuprofen in that dose with tinnitus (did not notice any obvious worsening due to it). But the headache itself seems more debilitating. Just like with hyperacusis making everything louder, I think tinnitus and/or hyperacusis make headaches more acute, and just lower my tolerance.

I like really want to die now with the headaches and tinnitus.

Does anyone else experience this?

Does anyone else experience this?

Yes, I do. I have many headaches that I didn't use to have, other than the occasional one every now and then prior to tinnitus.

I believe that headaches feel more severe now because of the tinnitus load on the brain, which I've read mimics a chronic pain condition using special brain scans.

Why more headaches? Not sure, other than why not.

Just my 2 cents.

Not sure if my headaches are worse, but certainly much more frequent.

I never experienced that many headaches every other day before but ever since I developed tinnitus and dysacusis, the amount of sharp headaches I've been getting became a lot more.

I've never had so much head tension since my tinnitus worsening. It's like my head is being involuntarily squeezed.

I get tension related headaches from tinnitus. To get relief from the headaches, I take a half Excedrin. I used to take Ibuprofen for back pain but I think it contributed to my getting tinnitus.

I think all my senses are more acute. Not just hearing/hyperacusis. Eye floaters, pain, heck even smell. Messed up brain. I can't live like this.
