Question: My fiance has had a horrible headache for 7 days now, accompanied by vomiting, sensitivity to light, sound,?
and even smell. He also has no energy what-so- ever. We went to the ER 2 nights ago and they did a CT scan and a spinal tap, both came back negative. So he said that the only thing left to do was to call a neurologist if the headaches persists. To the best of my knowlege he does not have a history of headaches. He said he has had them but never this bad. So we got back from the ER at 5:30, he woke up at 9 and his head hurt again. I got his script filled and he is slept the rest of the day. He woke up this morning (on the 7th day) and drank some water and threw up again and his head is still hurting! Could this be a migraine or something worse considering he has never had a migraine before. Oh and he is 25 years old. Also, yesterday his sister and I made him some food and he just smelled it and threw up... I hope this is just a migraine. But usually with migraines the pain is on one side of the head. His pain moves all over his head I guess... Thanks

Answers:

If this is migraine, it's atypical. Most do not last beyond 72 hours. I would recommend you get that follow up with a neurologist as quickly as possible. You may also want to call the ER he visited and let them know that the headache is unremitting.



could be something worse...I suffer from migraines, i went to the ER and all they did was give me an IV and tell me i was dehydrated...clearly not, because i came home and felt the same as before i went to the ER. It could be something much more worse...ask a neurologist...:) goodluck!
