did you take any medicine for it?
it possibly could be a migraine.
but i cant tell from what you've given here.
You should immediately consult a physician as this may be the implications of a serious issue...do so at the earliest
hmm, you may want to consult a doctor. I dont know why you would go so long without going to the ER. It could be dangerous.
of course you should do something
Sounds like you are either dehydrated or have something out in your back. Maybe a massage will help after you drink some water ?
it could be from a head cold or sinus
yes i strongly suggest you go to a doctor
Just check that you can touch your chest with your chin. This is a basic test to see whether you could have meningitis. If you can't - get thee to a doctor quick smart. Otherwise it would still be prudent to make a Dr's appt anyway as this is not normal.
its probily coz the weather try resting and tie somthing around your head that sooths the pain but try not to get to worried its probily nothing take it easy
oh ya..why dont you just go to the ER and get a head ct for a headache..better yet..wait till 3am to do it.
its normal! take an asprin.
I think you should see a doctor. Having a headache for 48 hours is very unusual. You might have a high blood pressure and you wouldn't even know it unless you go for a check.
Another thing that can cause a headache is stress or worrying, not enough sleep or rest.
Drink a lot of water and eat a balance meal and get a lot of seep and try not to do too many things at once. Hope you get well.
You don't mention where your headache is; this could affect our Answers. You also don't mention whether you have any health problems or take any medications, so you're going to get a wide range of Answers.

Hypertension (high blood pressure) often has no symptoms, but dizziness and headache may accompany it. This is a good basic article on hypertension: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/high-bl...

2. explain your concerns about high blood pressure
3. get checked for migraines as well
4. go to the er or doctors just to be safe.......
Hi,
Without more information, a headache that is ongoing for 48 hours could be several things, including migraine, tension and others.
You should know that a new onset of a headache in a patient who has no previous history of chronic headaches is a neurological "flag"..by this I mean you should call your doctor's office and be assessed by a professional.
Internet questions/answers will not solve anything.
Good luck
