help

going on three days I've had horrible head pain. It's different from my daily headache that I also am having. But this is like there is so much in my head there is  no more room. Every time I get up from laying down I feel like I'm going to throw up. I also am not sleeping which is adding to it. I've tried sitting in a bath, ice,heat, and have resorted to meds. But unfortunatly have no relief. Any sugestions on what to do?
Molly

Hi Molly.

I am sorry you are having these issues. I agree with selma, the heat and lack of sleep dose not help.

I hope you are feeling better soon and well enough to watch that up coming final on Sunday lol.

I am so sorry u r feeling so poorly....

Have u tried drinking plenty of water and caffeine?.....I do believe the heat and sun can be to blame....

U will also feel worse with out sleep...try to rest as much as possible.

If u continue to feel worse call ur dr
