HelloCustomer
Id like to try to help you but need more information. Why do you think your head is hurting; did you have any head trauma/ hit your head? If you did hit your head, when did you hit it? And at the time, did you black out, feel dazed, nausea, dizzy?
What is your medical history? (conditions, and any medications you take).
Thanks for clarifying,
Sincerely,
Susan
no i have not hit my head recently. i do suffer from migraines. i have 2 bulging discs and 1 crushed disc in the neck area. there seems to be alot of pressure in my ears today along with the other symptoms. I take fiorocet for my headaches and maxalt when i get a migraine. at night i take ambiem to sleep. if i pull on my ears it seems to relieve some pressure for that moment.
I hope I can guide you here, frankly, what you write is concerning me. It does not sound like a migraine, and you know your own and what you expect. The reason I asked if you hit your head recently is that your symptoms, if you had, would be in line with that of a concussion.
But you havent had a head injury. I am wondering though if there is a possibility that you DO have some head trauma nontheless...a possible stroke or an aneurism. I say that because of the dizzyness you feel, the pain you feel, and the blurred vision.
Based on all of this, I truly suggest that you go to the nearest Emergency Room and get these troubling symptoms evaluated and treated as needed. As you are dizzy and are having troubles seeing, PLEASE do not drive yourself; either call 911 or get a friend to drive you. 911 is your best bet as it is quickest...and if there is a problem within your brain, time is of the essence.
I hope I was able to help,
