Help asap? should i call 911?!


Question: Help asap!? should i call 911!?
My head has been hurting so bad the last week!. It stopped today, but just when I got up from laying down, I almost fainted!. I don't know what's going on!. I've been taking asprin before I go to school, after school, and before I go to bed!. I thought it was gone, but I guess not!. It hurts so bad!. I'm seriously crying right now!. And it is just making it worse!.

My highschool has stairs and idk, it seems like whenever I do some activity, my head starts to throb, like I can feel my heart beating in my head!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
If you are having those symptoms while exerting yourself, I would definitely visit an ER if you have insurance!. If you don't have good ER coverage, then try to make an appointment with your primary care physician to be seen the same day!.

Especially get to the ER yourself or call 911 if you experience any other symptoms such as, numbness of one side of your body; difficulty walking (e!.g!. balance issues), or difficulty speaking!. Those could be signs of a ruptured blood vessel in your brain and must be treated emergently!.

Honestly, if you have health insurance, just have someone take you to ER!. I have found in my visits, that they do a much more thorough examination and will perform the appropriate diagnostic tests to determine if you have a problem or not!.

Also, you will feel better after you know what is going on with your body!.

Since you are under 18 and you are still inschool have your mom/dad take you to the emergency room!. Don't delay!. It sounds like what ever you have is not going away!. Have someone else take you right away if your parents are not available!. If you are almost fainting and the pain is bad enough for you to cry you need to be seen right away!. Especially if you have had this for a week and physical activity makes it worst!. Please go right away and stay out of school or the shower!. Make sure someone is around if you feel faint before you take a shower/bath or do anything like driving!.!. Good luck!.
P!.S!. Children under 18 should never take asprin when they are sick!.!. You can take ibeprofin or motrin or tylenol but no asprin!. Make sure you read the label and take something that is asprin free!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I wouldn't call 911 but I would make an appointment to see the doctor or even go to the ER on your own!. I doubt it's anything requiring the paramedics and you may not know this but if they take you to the hospital in an ambulance you'll get a bill for a couple of thousand dollars to pay for it!. Always better to get yourself to the ER if you don't need emergency intervention!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's a migraine or a tension headache neither of which require 911, both types can last for days!. Worrying and crying about it so much will only make them worse!. Try taking Ibuprofen or some other kind of painkiller, if you often take one kind of medicine your body can actually build up resistance to it making it less effective!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ok!.
Not all ambulances charge!. Many volunteer ambulances do not charge!. My rescue squad will not charge a patient!.

If you feel you need an ambulance, you ALWAYS have the right to call for one!. You definitely need to be seen by the doctors!. I'd suggest calling your primary and getting his/her opinion!. Listen to them, they know you and your history, and can determine what level of care you need!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I wouldn't call 911, that's for a BIG emergency!.!.!. like a fire or something!. But I'd consult a doctor!. Also, you might wanna see how many of those pills your taking!. You don't want to overdoseWww@Answer-Health@Com

No!. Just make an appointment with your primary care doctor!.
