Please Help! I have a headache thats too painful to be normal...Im really scared, Please Read Inside?

Question

Heres the story:
A few days back I was sitting on my bed, just like, chillin, reading whatever. I strechted my legs out, and all of a sudden I got a blinding pain in my neck that creeped up to my head. It started throbbing, and I had no idea what happened. It went away after like 5 min, so I forgot about it and moved on. Now today, I was watching TV, and I stretched my legs again, I was feeling tense so I just stretched them out really far. Then once again, I felt the pain come. But this time, it was excrutiating...(if thats spelled right) It split right up the left side of my head, and (this happened like 1 hr ago) continues to sting painfully. It's like a constant throb against my head, and its killing me. I dont know whats going on, and I feel like something will happen to me. I really need help

Answer 1

You need to get off the computer and go to the ER -- NOW. If there's nobody there to take you, call an ambulance. Do NOT drive yourself. Although it's statistically likely to be nothing serious, unexplained headaches should always be checked out. Severe, worst-of-your-life headaches need to be checked out immediately. Actress Sharon Stone nearly died of an aneurysm a few years ago when she mistakenly thought her headache was a migraine.

Don't wait. Be safe and get it checked out now.

Answer 2

Why are you still sitting there go and see your doctor i could be something serious, you should not put it off
Headache: Almost everyone gets an occasional headache and they are usually harmless. On the other hand, headache is a symptom of numerous conditions ranging from common cold, flu, or a hangover to very severe conditions such as meningitis, stroke, or a brain tumor. Because of the range of possible causes, correct diagnosis is very important.

Sudden headache depends on what is meant by "sudden" and can indicate some extremely severe conditions if its onset is rapid, severe, or seems unusual. A headache that comes on reasonably slowly over a period, such as in the afternoon at work, is most likely common headache or a tension headache. But the very rapid arrival of a headache, particularly an excruciating headache, can be a variety of very serious conditions like cerebral aneurysm or other brain condition. Also surprisingly common but not well-known is the sexual headache from sexual exertion that can cause a severe headache that can come on very quickly. Sudden and severe headache can also indicate numerous dangerous conditions (e.g. meningitis, stroke); seek professional medical advice immediately for persistent headache, excruciating headache, headache not responding to medication, or a "worst ever headache".

Answer 3

TeriR is right on. ANY sudden, severe headache with no known cause needs to be evaulated immediately. Call 911. Do not drive yourself to the ER. You need to be checked out for a possible stroke (hemorrhagic...you are showing signs and symptoms of one). DO IT NOW!!!!

Answer 4

We have treated 15 - 20 yrs cases.
There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Avoid late sleeping if possible;spicy, sour, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, sweet fruits, milk, rice and good sleep will help you.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it isvery strong.
