Bad headaches...not going away

[Niki914]

I'm pretty healthy, and if I ever do get sick I tend to shake it in a timely manner.

That said, I have terrible constant headaches that have been going on for 6 days now. The pain is in across my forehead and behind my eyes. The pain is worse when I look to either side.

The headaches are made much worse when I stand or make any kind of rapid movement.

I tried to sleep it off a couple days ago, and no luck. The only other symptom is lack of appetite.

Any ideas?

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
There is a possibility that you are running a temperature. Refractive errors of the eye should be looked into. High and low blood pressure should also be thought about. It could also be migraine. Tension headaches and sinusitis are other possibilities.
Please discuss this with your doctor. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Hello,
Two possibilities are there.First it can be a headache due to refractive errors of the eye.Second possibility is of a migraine headache.Pls get your eye sight checked. Treatment of migraine involves using a cold compress to the area of pain, resting in a room with little or no sensory stimulation (light, sound, and odors), Withdrawing from stressful surroundings and sleeping. You can also try OTC pain killers. If still the symptoms persist, then please consult a physician for specific anti-migraine therapy.

I hope it helps.Kind regards.
