Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I ve got a headache that has been constant for 3 days. Feels like my hair is being pulled too. It s a persistent tinge and it hurts when I shake my head to side to side. I went to the Doctor and he prescribed Naproxen. I m also going to go for an MRI just to be safe. But curious to know what you think?
naproxen can help people with headaches. In most cases headaches are luckily harmless. The MRi ist really just to rule out rare other brain conditions as cause. The naproxen is a common pain medication, it won't "cure" it in that sense but it will most likely help with headaches. As with most medication, only take as much as absolutely needed. Hope this is helping you, if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
