Bipolar disorder and Headache
Hello All
I have been suffering from bipolar disorder since last 3 years. I had only one hypomanic episode. I am now stable for almost one and a half years. But sometimes my head aches too much. I talked with my psychiatrist as I am suspecting migraine headache. But my pdoc says It might be due to my eyesight as it might have deteriorated. I want to ask how common is migraine with bipolar? Do I believe my doctor or take second opinion? Do I take some pain killers like crocin, anacin etc. Help!
