Severe Pain On The Right Of Head Post Weeks Of Long Hours Of Air Travel. Help?
Hello - I flew home from my holiday early hours of last Tuesday (25th Sept). The flight lasted 4 hours, but during the flight and now 1 1/2 weeks later, I m suffering from a severe headache/pain in the right hand side of my head. I have been to the GP who checked behind my eyes & said they were fine, and told me to go back in a week if the pain is still there. That was on Tuesday..! Can you help as I m looking to head to A&E after work tonight...thank you

Hi
The symptoms may or may not be related to flying - the situation though is suggestive
They have no reason to last more than a week...or with pain
It is wise to see a doctor - preferably a Neurologist. You may need MRI or CT scan of brain - considering severity and duration
Good luck
