head pain.

[kieko15]

I have started having pain on the right side of my head. It started last night and is still going on now. It is a little bit frightening. It seems to be stronger and sharper, coming more often. Any information you may have would be helpful.

Have you phoned your GP yet?

If not could you do that now? Could you get there before 6pm?

Why not phone now and see if you can go in and see the GP who is covering emergency calls.

Sorry Keiko 15.

I have only just read that you posted a day ago. Yet I have only just seen your post?

Thought you had just posted.

How are you now?

Do you have any other symptoms?

Any pain in jaw when you eat? Is your vision ok? Any double vision or visual disturbances?

Has the pain subsided?

Hope you are feeling good better.

I ended up at the ER and was given morphine double dose plus a steroid shot in my intervienus tube my blood sugar dropped to 60 but they got that leveled out. the Dr sent me home with perscriptions. I put my cold hands on the back of my neck while in the Er bed and the pain quit. My blood pressure was up some not too bad but not what the Dr wanted, so when I got home I got a cold wash rag and I laid it on the back of my neck and that is how I slept. I didn't sleep good was awake till after 3 am and then I was hallucinating. It was a terrible day and night. I think it was the meds the Dr. gave me but good news is today I am doing a lot better. I thank you so much for your concern and following up with me. Hugs and God Bless, have a terrific day

You went through it then!

Did you actually get a diagnosis?
