Headache

by Jan6, Oct 07, 2007 07:59AM
Hi There,  I have had a headache for the past three days. It is very severe, it's basically along my forehead, and down at the base of my head. I feel quite a bit of pounding, and pulsating, it hurts to move my head, to get up, basically to look at anything. I have been taking Advil Extra Strength, basically every four hours for three days. Last night was the worse, I felt very nauseous, and the pain was incredible. I am not prone to headaches. I hardly ever get them. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thank you

You might be experiencing rebound headache from overuse of the same over the counter headache drug.  Talk to a pharmacist for advice, have your blood pressure tested, and try to limit your pain reliever use. At least try switching between Tylenol, Advil, and buffered aspirin or naproxen. If these don't help, see your doctor as soon as possible.

Hi,

Please get your blood pressure checked and get a vision examination done to rule out eyesight problems. The headache could also be due to sinusitis, i would suggest you to take steam inhalation and see if it helps your headache.Good luck!
