Tremor 0 Report post Posted January 3 Hello! New to the forums. I had a bad headache 5 days ago, something I would consider a migraine. Light and sound sensitivity, along with a nauseous feeling. It was pretty rough all night long. I went to sleep and woke up the next day feeling a little better. Since then, roughly 5 days now, I have had constant tension in my head, random pains all over my head, and slight dizziness (euphoric sensation). It never really has dissipated. When I wake up in the morning it feels almost as if it is gone, and then within a few minutes it comes on and stays with me all day. My anxiety is starting to get the better of me now! Any thoughts?!? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashleyspicer84 81 Report post Posted January 3 I’m dealing with the same thing right now. I’m on day three. Just took some Motrin which doesn’t really help either. Today it’s in my left side and hurts all the way down to my ear. My neck gets stiff too which causes tension in the back of my head. I’m sound sensitive too. Can’t stand it at all.

Total Eclipse 32 Report post Posted January 3 Dehydration and stress/ anxiety are leading causes of headaches and migraines. Make sure you are getting enough water, eating healthy food, and trying to stay away from processed foods (certain foods can trigger migraines and headaches). What have you tried to relieve the headache? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tremor 0 Report post Posted January 3 I haven't been doing a whole lot to get rid of it.... 😕 Just some headache meds, lots of water and rest. That's about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could this be a sinus cold? Keep drinking fluids and try not to stress because it'll worsen the headache! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really don't feel any sinus pressure, but who knows. Can a headache last this long? lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can a headache last this long? lol Yeah, and depending on what your eating that could be triggering it -- it can last a few weeks after a migraine goes away. I suffer from chronic migraines pretty badly 😞 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you! Hopefully it passes quickly! If it doesn't pass in a couple more days and feels more intense, you should get checked out by a doctor and if it's sinuses they'll give you antiboditics. But most of the time sinus infections will clear on their own too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MARC 228 Report post Posted January 5 My ENT physician once told me that tension in your back, shoulders and neck can cause headaches and odd head sensations, such as tingling, crawling feelings, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
