[manda_20]

I have been suffering form headaches on and off for the last few weeks and pain killers dont help, it feels like tension/pressure, it gets worse at one side of my head when i stand up, it has been known to last a few days. I have never suffered anything like this before.

Hi,
How are you? Were you able to have this checked by your neurologist as suggested? One-sided headaches usually indicate migraine headaches that is also associated with nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to lights and sounds. This can be relieved by rest, ice packs, prescription medications and most importantly, avoiding the possible triggers that cause your headache. Take care and hope to hear from you soon.

Hi

Have you had migraine headaches before?

If yes, would you say that the headaches have progressed.

Based on your post, this seems to be new onset headache. I would suggest that you have this assessed by a neurologist. A baseline CT scan may be needed to help determine involvement of underlying structures. Also, other conditions have to be ruled out such as eye problems or sinus problems?
