Suggest Treatment For Severe Headache

default
Posted on Thu, 11 Aug 2016
Question: I have had the worst headache of my life starting two days ago, seemingly out of nowhere. Located on the right side of my head. There is intense pain between my right eye and nose that is causing my right eye to constantly water. Pain seems to subside after laying down for a while but immediately returns after being upright. No sensitivity to light, not made worse by bending down.

Brief Answer:
Get evaluated ASAP by a Neurologist.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your query and understand your concerns.

Worst headache ever coming of nowhere could be related to brain vessels aneurysm rupture, so, it is necessary to get evaluated by a Neurologist and by imaging studies (CT scan of brain) to exclude this condition, since it may result in serious health problems.

Another possible condition which can explain those symptoms is cluster headache.

Again, both these conditions should be evaluated clinically by a Neurologist and imaging studies are necessary, also treatment should be started after the correct diagnosis.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Greetings.
