Hey! I need some help "Please" what can I do?

Question

I have had a splitting headache for the last 4 hours, I have taken a hot shower, "didn't work" I took an 800mg tylenol, "didn't work" then I took another 800 mg tylenol, and I still got this stupid headache, any suggestions? It hurts so bad it makes me want to throw up

Answer 1

Go to the doctor, but if you can't do that then turn off the lights, or at least dim them, lay in bed, cut off the TV, and just relax, try to get some sleep, rub your temples, try a warm cloth on your head, or h**l try a cool one if that feels better. I hope you feel better soon!

Answer 2

It sounds like a migraine.

You should be on the safe side though and go to the ER.  It might be something worse, they can give you something for the pain and if its "only" a migraine, they can help you get onto the right path with your regular doc.

I hope you feel better soon, sweetie!!

Answer 3

I've been there.  I can walk mine off.  Other than that lie down in a dark quite place or go to the emergency room.

Answer 4

It sounds like a migraine.

First I would try to lie down in a dark room. No T.V. or loud noise. Take a frozen water bottle (or anything frozen) and put at the base of your neck. ( I keep many water bottles frozen  for this very reason.) Lie on your back, and cover up with blankets to keep from getting too cold.

This, along with the tylenol can sometimes help, but if you don't get any relief after a couple of hours, I would head to the emergency room. They can give you a pain shot, but make sure that you have a driver to take you home. They won't let you drive yourself or take a cab.

Answer 10

It could be a migraine and Tylenol is not going to help.  If you have some Advil, I suggest that you take 3 of those and 2 Excedrin Extra Strength.  I read about this combination of medications from a Headache publication that I used to get.  It works when you don't have access to migraine medication.  An ice pack will also help.  Migraines usually affect one side of your head, cause you to be sensitive to light, cause nausea to the point of throwing up and you could have vision problems and dizziness.  I used to get them where it felt like someone was poking a needle in my eye, the whole right side of my head and neck hurt, I was extremely sensitive to light and would usually have nausea problems.  

Answer 11

Try going into a dark room and use a cool wash cloth over your forehead.Don't take any more tylenol. If it doesn't go away go to ER
