Hey guys, I have a question for you doctors out there.
I've been having constant headaches for 4 straight days now. I took some aspirn, but it always came back. Is this serious? What are persistant headaches usually a symptom of? If this keeps up, I'm phoning my doctor.
Thanks :P

I would look into getting some glasses or at least having your eyes checked.

I'm not a doctor. There are many many causes for headaches. There are some serious causes but most of the time it is something like stress. Calling your Dr. is a great idea. Never be afraid to go to the doctor for any reason.

I'm not a doctor but I've had all sorts of headaches and migraine all my life. If this is a new phenomenon for you, then please don't delay, go see a doctor. People don't suddenly have a headache for four days straight if they don't have an established such headache pattern. It could be anything, mild or something very serious, including God forbid heart trouble or a tumor.

i'm not a doctor but from my personal experience here is a remedy that work for me. Get in the shower and turn the water Hot as you can stand it, for about 2 minutes, then suddenly turn the Hot OFF and turn the Cold ON , suddenly, for about two minutes. Usually the headaches will go away.

hey there. sry bout ur headaches. i use to have that problem. it could be from stress. i would suggest a cold compress on the back of ur neck or a warm compress on ur forehead, most people mix those up. also, i suggest trying one of the head on sticks. it seems stupid but it works trust me. i use it instead of medicine and my headache is always gone in like 10 minutes. for a measly $1, u can spring for it. well hope this helps and hope ur headache goes away. good luck.

I am not a Dr but as for as i know, it could be because of week eye sight, or some tension that u have these days, or load of work. So u can opt for checking ur eye sight also.

I had a headache for almost a month. The doc found nothing wrong with me.

I am a doctor and I can personally say have someone scream as loud as they can in your ear, it really helps
