Worst headache ever

[kel07]

I've been having headache problems recently and had a cerebral angiogram done that showed a venous angioma which shouldn't cause any problems. However, ever since getting the test done my headaches have been different w/ sensitivity to light. But today around noon I stood up and got the absolute worst head ache ever. It started from the R front where all my headaches are and had shooting pains all the way to the back of my head and neck. Every time I blinked or put my foot to the floor it sent more shooting pains, I could barely move my head and aleve, which normally helps me, did nothing. I also had white spots in my eye sight, increased HR, hot flashes, flushed face, and nausea. The worst of it lasted for 5 hours and I still have some pain but tolerable. What kind of head ache would this be or did my angioma start bleeding??

Hi...did u have a contrast dye?...mayb u have a thyroid issue or something that it is reacting in ur system...call ur dr to let him know and be sure not to get that dye again.

If it was oral contrast u may be able to flush it out drinking plenty of water...if it was IV  ur dr will have to help .

Good luck

Hi,
How are you? This could be due to primary headaches such as migraine or tension headaches, or even aneurysm. I recommend that you have this evaluated by your doctor for proper management.  Aneurysm present with sudden unbearable headache ( usually the patient's worst kind) with double vision, or rigid neck. This can be due to a balloon-like weakness or bulge in blood-vessel wall. If you have a history of hypertension, this should be controlled. Check with your doctor and be evaluated further. Take care and do keep us posted.
