All 3 patients had two additional atherosclerotic or nonatherosclerotic risk factors for stroke, suggesting that vertebral artery hypoplasia combined with other conventional risk factors may provide an optimal background for brainstem ischemia.
Category B anti-headache medications include Tylenol (acetaminophen); Reglan (metoclopramide), which is used for nausea but also may relieve a mild headache; and over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Advil and Motrin (ibuprofen) or Aleve (naproxen) only during the first and second trimesters.
The only medicine for headaches that you can take is Tylenol (acetominophen). It sucks, I know. You can't take sudafed while pregnant. Benedryl is safe. I took tylenol and lots of water, the sinus headaches did get better. You could also try hot and cold ice packs and flushing your nose with Ocean saline spray.
