Every once in awhile, I get a pounding headache and I have no idea where it comes from. The other day when I woke up, I had a migraine that was so bad that I felt like I had to vomit. I'm not sure why this happens. I didn't really do anything out of the ordinary the day before. When I try to quit caffeine, the same thing happens to me, but I didn't try to quit caffeiene that time.
