Answer 1

if i were you i would consult a doctor. it could be a migrane they normally occur in certain areas of the head not the entire thing. if its that severe you might wawnt to consider the ER because it can be something much worse then just a headache. or for no just try taking some sort of Migrane relief medicine at a local drug store and get plenty of sleep.

Answer 2

hi,
i'm sorry to hear you are suffering so. the nausea is caused by the intense pain you are having... i used to get killer migraines. but this doesn't sound like a typical migraine. migraines don't last much past 36 hours. and they don't usually stop and start back up within hours. i think you should go to the ER about this, see if they can determine what the pain is and they will give you something to settle the nausea. feel better soon. :)

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck.
Headaches can be caused by minor problems
like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more serious reasons
like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can
have harmful side effects, so it is better to
modify your lifestyle. More information available at
