Mostrich severe headache of my life, on the 7th day! Help!
Posted , 2 users are following.
I'm on the 7th day of a continuous severe headache with nausea and vertigo. I can't seem to figure out what it is and I can't really research because of the headache.
My symptoms are:
•Severe Head pain, pressure like with some stabbing and some aching pains. Pain is worst in both eyes, the top of the head and the temples. The pain is worst on the right hand side.
• nausea to the extent that I can only eat on drink now that I'm on anti-emetics (anti-sickness drugs)
•vertigo (everything is spinning and I keep falling over)
•I've had some eye watering and nose running
• I became dehydrated due to the nausea
It is one continously headache but the pain, vertigo and nausea all fluctuate in intensity over the day. I suffer from migraines but this feels different
I do not believe it to be any of these: TTH (Tension-Type Headache), migraine, cluster. If you think it's one of these please still post and explain why.
I'd you need more info let me know
Thank you

Thanks,
I'm not sure but I think it might actually be a migraine and a cluster headache at this point because I have symptoms typical of cluster and the meds only seem to work a little and when I take the i can more clearly feel the intermittent severe pain on the right side of my head (primarily the eye and top of the head) but the typical migraine stays in the background. Does anyone have any thoughts? On my idea or the other headaches it could be?

UPDATE: I've been referred to neurology and 2 new symptoms developed. 1) Intermittent Stabbing pain in the back right of my head over an artery (external carotid) and over a lymph node and an artery and vein complex (sternocleidomastoid nodes and mastoid nodes (and any other retroauricular/suboccipital nodes I missed that are in close proximity to the ear ,occipital artery and vein, posterior auricular artery and vein)a few centimetres behind the ear. 2) when I lay down fast the headache gets worse for a few seconds.
I feel like the doctor is trying their best but doesn't know what to do so please help as it is unlikely I will see a neuro for a long time
