How To Deal With Difficulty In Understanding Everyday Conversations?
My name is Megan, I am an 18 year old female that has migraine headaches everyday sometimes all day for the past two years. Sometimes with the headaches I get dizzy light headed and nauseous causing me to be unable to stand up or walk. I also noticed that lately have had troubles thinking of the words to say when having an everyday conversation with friends or family and I have troubles understanding people when they are talking to me. I have been to see a brain doctor (couldn t think of the word) and he isn t available to often and is making no progress to finding out what causes them or how to prevent them. I have tried medications and nothing is working. The doctor also tried switching my depression medication and that also didn t work. I am becoming very concerned with this and would like someone else s opinion. Please and thank you.

Hi Megan,
I read you query and can understand the distress that you might have been facing due to your symptoms. The symptom of difficulty understanding conversations can be due to anxiety or remaining preoccupied with certain things.
I would have liked to know about the medications that you have taken earlier and the medications that you are currently on with the duration of treatment. It is possible that initially the anti-depressants don't show any response. Change in medications might be required. I can't comment on it until I get to know what medications have you already taken. Medications for migraine will have to continue.
In addition, I would also recommend you to start exercising daily. You can also start meditation. That will help you relax and control your anxiety.
Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
