Should I go to urgent care for this headache?

Can’t hurt to go to the doctor. Could be a lot of things.

This type of headache is a normal headache for me but again, symptom of many serious conditions.

My nephew complained about a horrible headache for several days. Then one day he didn’t show up for work, an unusual occurrence. He was found dead in his apartment the following day. I don’t know the exact cause of death – my sister chose not to share this with me, other than that it was natural causes. So I don’t know if he could have survived if he’d gone to a doctor sooner. I do know that more than one doctor has said they’d much rather see you and discover that your symptoms are not a sign of a serious condition than to have to say, “I could have helped him if he’d gotten to us sooner.”

Burst brain aneurysm very likely. Almost killed my dad, too. Thankfully someone was with him when he collapsed.

I was always told with my migraines to tell my doctor if I ever had a headache that felt different. I have the type of doctor who will then tell me if I need to come in right away based on the symptoms.

It did go away finally. Still had it last night but I must have slept the right way because it was gone this morning. I also super-indulged myself in a nice hot relaxing bathtub so I’m sure that helped, too. Might have been a tension thing, or maybe sinuses idk.

Thanks <3

Good that you got rid of it and I was going to vote you take some Sudafed to see if it helped. Seems to me the sinus cavities go way back in the head.

I do know that when I get ANY sinus problems I immediately get a back neck headache which becomes an ever spreading tension headache which eventually becomes a migraine if left alone. Attacking the sinus problems stops it all and no amount of pain killer matters unless I address the sinus problems.
