Does this kind of headache set of a red flag?!


Question: Does this kind of headache set of a red flag!?
In the back of the head, on one side!. It's always in the same spot at the same time of night!. Not every night!. Does resolve itself with tylenol!. This same person (adult male) suffered a CO exposure a few months back!. Started with the same "kind" of headache (same spot), although much worse and that headache couldn't be medicated!. Could this be residual effects from the original exposure (January)!? Or does this indicate a new problem!. Or is it not a problem at all, and he just gets headaches!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
don't mess with it, Mozz!. when there's a history of a real problem, it's better to go get checked out and told it's nothing than not to go get checked out!. send his butt to the doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm not sure if your headache is something to be overly concerned about!. I could imagine that CO exposure would cause damage, but not to the point that you should be having frequent headaches (I didn't even know it could do that)!. Also, as a child I hit my head very hard (I fell down on some concrete headfirst!.!.!.) I would have severe headaches everyone in my whole head!. It was to the point where I just didn't want to move my body to eat or drink or anything!. Eventually my doctor prescribed a medication and it was permanently removed!.


So idk if I can give you a medical term, but if Tylenol is knocking it out I wouldn't use that to determine if it's severe or not!. Acetaminophen is just a pain-reliever!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You get migranes!. Simple as that!. I suggest taking as much tylenol as recommended for your age, right before you get the headache!. Gradually let yourself off the medicine, until you don't take it at all!. Your body will naturally ward off the headache!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A lot of people when they have sinus headaches, it can present in the back of the head on either side!. You can never be sure about headaches or anything, so I would go to the doctor and maybe have a ct scan!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Any chronic headache should be checked out by a Physician to rule out possible complications!. Carbon Monoxide exposure may have had an immediate effect but I wouldn't think long term would be an issue, he needs some Diagnostic Testing done Mozz!.!.make him an appt!. For bloodwork, Cat Scan etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i would definetley check with your family doctor, headaches should be treated as something important ,you never know for sure if it's just a headache or a sympton of an underlying problem!.!.better safe then sorry i feel!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Go talk to a doctor, preferably the one who treated you for the CO exposure!. He'll know if it's anything to worry about!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
