Customer question:
When to see a doctor for a severe headache? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
If you are experiencing the "worst" headache of your life that occurs above, it could be a sign of a severe condition such as a brain bleed or brain tumor. Seek medical attention immediately. Suppose you experience a severe headache after a head injury, such as an accident or a fall. In that case, you must consult a doctor to rule out any severe brain damage.
Suppose you suffer from a headache accompanied by severe symptoms such as vision disturbances, speech problems, loss of consciousness, weakness on one side of your body, or confusion. In that case, this may indicate an emergency such as a stroke. Suppose a new or different pattern of headaches occurs, especially in people over 50. In that case, it is recommended to consult a doctor to rule out possible serious causes such as temporal arteritis or a brain tumor.
If the headache lasts for several days or weeks and does not subside despite using medicines or home remedies, it is recommended to seek medical help. If the headache is strongly associated with severe nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms, it may be a sign of a migraine or another condition that requires medical evaluation.
If you experience severe headaches during pregnancy, consult your doctor to rule out possible complications. Suppose you are unsure whether your headache is severe. In that case, seeking medical advice to rule out any severe causes and develop a treatment or symptom management plan is always best.
