Should i be freaking out

[stjlynn]

I woke up this morning with a wicked bad headache I took some Advil and it felt a little better but hasn't completely went away so I took Tylenol an hr ago I don't know if I slept wrong or maybe allergies or start of a head cold but I'm freaking out

Try not to worry. Take painkillers regularly and it should get better. Freaking out will only make it worse!x

I'm freaking out because my head hurts and feels funny. I'm use to taking something and poof it's better

[mrstanny]

I just meant try to relax. Painkillers should help ive always been told to take them every couple of hours rather than just once and it should be ok after a while. Not sure how the weather is where you are but it could maybe be the start of a cold

Maybe you slept wrong I know I wake up with horrible headaches cause of my neck , it's probably all tension and pain killers don't ever touch the pain the headache cause your muscles are tight in your neck or back . Trust me i was so freaked out I went to the ER for my headaches ha a cat scan and everything was Normal , but if it keeps up and doesn't go away I would see your doctor ;),

4 possibilites I can think of:

1/ A sinus (pressure) related headache? in which case headache pills won't touch it.

2/ An anxiety headache (and yes, there is such a thing) - headache pills won't touch it either.

3/ Your vision is strained.

4/ Not enough fluids. (Drink plenty of water)

I'm with you, I've had some pretty strong headaches for the last 3 days in a row.

I have also had a runny nose, so I am assuming that it's a sinus related issue but I'm not sure, I just try to keep myself from flipping out and worrying too much on it, if I do that it will be a tumor before I know it!

Also the first 2 days of it came with nausea, dizziness, and disorientation too so that was really fun
