I do not know how old this question is or where you are, but you need a full medical evaluation. Your symptoms may be cause by a disease called preeclampsia or toxemia which can be deadly to both mothers and newborns if not diagnosed and treated properly. If you still feel this way and have not seen a doctor, please go to a hospital or emergency room immediately for evaluation. Your headache is the most dangerous symptom and can indicate a very high blood pressure or risk of a seizure. Please seek medical care immediately, and good luck..
