Severe Headache

2011-09-18T15:14:00.000-07:00

I am usually by the TV or computer.

WHEN I woke up on Saturday-I had a massive headache as if my eyes were gonna pop out. I closed my eyes and covered my face with duvet, hoping the pain to pass away. Everything seemed to be very bright and the morning light hurt my eyes. I took paracetamol and decided if headache wont go away-I will go to emergency department on NHS. But after 2 hours it finally subsided.

ON wednesday, @ my work during afternoon, my head started to get the same piercing painful ache. After finally reaching home, all I did was sleep. SO, I booked an appointment @ GP on thursday and took a dayoff on friday.

AFTER some checkups, doctor advised me it could be either

-eye problem

-simply stress headache or due to cold virus

-migraine

NURSE took blood samples for further tests and during that we talked about the weather and general stuff.

I went to BOOTS for eye-checkup, and they seemed to be fine.

I now have to worry about whether it's a stress headache or migraine.

Blood test results will be ready after 1 week. I will probably go to GP on next friday & re-book an appointment with the doc.

Hope it to be simply a stress headache ( a nasty one- though ^-^)

FRIDAY, 23 SEPTEMBER 2011
I went to check whether my reports had been back or not. They were and the receptionist told .me results were normal. So, I booked appointment with the doctor for consultation. The earliest
.available was 8:30 am Monday.

MONDAY, 26 SEPTEMBER 2011

I went to GP and waited for my turn. The doc asked me for my eye test results and I told her eyes were normal. She suggested that it might be migraine and so gave me info about .migraine and also printed out information about migraine. When I mentioned that I was .having .strong coughs resulting in chest pain although I don't smoke, she examined .breathing rhythms and confirmed it to be normal. She refered some cough syrups.

.I am very happy with how she answered my queries and her professional caring attitude.
