New Headache
by veryhealthy, Aug 13, 2009 04:10PM
Last week the back of head started to hurt it felt like a lot of pressure behind my ears. In the middle of the pressure points it was tender to the touch. This went on for about 2 days and then I started to develope a dull headache on top and to the front. This headache and pressure has been continuing for 7 days now and it never seems to go away until I go to sleep. When I wake up about an hour later it starts all over again. I went to the doctor and she said I had a little fluid built up in my ears so she put me on Zythromician. I have been taking this antibiotic for 3 days and there is still no relief. The headache is mild to moderate and it does not respond to Tylenol or Motrin. I just had an MRI done today but I probably won't get the results for a few days. I'm not sure if I should go the ER or not but I'm concerned about aneurysims and the so called warning leak headache. Does anyone have any advice?

It was so coincidental to see your post. My situation is alot like yours. I am 40, female and also very healthy. I have had a headache for 2 weeks now with no relief from any otcs. I have tried everything from Tylenol to Excedrin to Claritin. I have also been experincing this weird pressure like sensation above my left ear. It feels like someone is blowing up a balloon. It comes and goes. It is really scaring me. I am going for a CT A on Monday but of course I will worry until then. Let me know how your MRI goes. My biggest fear is also an aneursym. Good luck and keep me posted!
