Call your clinic and ask to talk to your doctor's nurse. They will tell you what to do.

Depending on where your head ache is, and for the fact that you said your in FL I would say it sounds like a sinus headache, Which you can have over the course of days.. Is the pain over your eyes? Back of the neck? Also make sure your drinking plenty of water. Of course check with your doctor about this.

You should definitely get that checked out by a doctor. Headaches that do not go away with medication is a symptom of pre-eclampsia. Better safe than sorry.

GO TO THE HOSPITAL!!! Medicaid will cover for you to have it checked. This is important. This is a symptom of so many preg probs, not the least of which is pre-eclampsia. If you have that condition, you will need to strictly alter your lifestyle until you deliver. This means probable bedrest until delivery, which will be induced early if bedrest doesn't work.
Pre-eclampsia can be a fatal condition for either your baby or you or both. Please, I lost a nephew to this not long ago. See a doctor!!!! Go NOW

Make sure you are staying hydrated as dehydration can cause those symptoms. Also another thing to try is a little caffeine, especially if this is a migraine, caffeine has been shown to help. I also get allergy induced migraines, so wondering if something new to you down there could be affecting you. It could also be the place your staying, if theirs anything like molds in the walls. So when you sleep there, its affecting you the most.

i have to ask this. do you have long hair and sleep with it in a pony tail or tie your hair back at night? i do and i was waking up EVERY morning with these terrible headaches and it was the same thing i would take the meds and the head ache would come back a few hours later. the pulling of the ponytail causes head aches also if you sleep with it pulled back at the base of your neck it could be putting pressure on your neck causing you to have these horrific head aches.

Ask your MD if you can take Advil instead. A cold wash cloth across your forehead and eyes really helps. It could also be caused by hormones.

Definitely get this checked out, hon. Your blood pressure NEEDS to be evaluated, you might be experiencing pre-eclampsia, which would definitely need to be treated right away.
I wish you all the best, good luck.

did you call your doctor at home and ask him ; could be a problem and you shouldn't be afraid to get medical help ; sometimes you have to worry about health first and money last
