Head feels like it's about to explode! What is it?

[backmassageplease]

I've never had it before. It's so horrible.

I'm a chronic migraine sufferer (the type where the aura symptoms are that of a stroke), and this doesn't feel like a migraine.

It just feels like my brain is being inflated and is too big for my scull.

What can I do? I've taken headache medication and I've had it since last night but it just keeps getting more intense.

Pain that bad doesn't sound right op let us know how you get on

OP how are you doing?

Viral meningitis here too with similar symptoms. Get to hospital and tell them you can’t sit up

Hope you're ok OP?

Severely high blood pressure can make your head feel this way. Please get checked out ASAP! 🌷and please do let us know how you get on.

Hope your okay. I had similar and it turned out it was sinus related! Absolutely terrifying

Hello, thank you all

I'm in hospital at the moment with encephalitis. The consultant was extremely surprised and frank, saying he was surprised I'd made it so long without blacking out!

I have to say, I wouldn't have gone to hospital without your encouragement on here. I would've stupidly soldiered on until Monday, and seen a GP. I'm glad I didn't follow my own advice!

I knew something was very very wrong with that amount of pain. And the nausea made me feel like I'd been in a car crash combined with the pounding of my head.

Oh my goodness! Get well soon. I feel very relieved you listened to the people telling you to get to a doctor!!

Very pleased you're being looked after, although it's not good that it's encephalitis obviously!

Wishing you the best.

Oh my goodness - thank God you went in!!

I feel relieved to be taken care of. Most of my pain has gone (thanks drugs), and I'm just resting and awaiting how long I may need to stay for. Hopefully it won't be too long... I have a little one at home still feeding and I look like Katie Price with these boobs!

Glad you are being taken care of.

It is worrying what we can put ourselves through!

@backmassageplease I am so pleased that you went to hospital. Wishing you well very soon xx
Ps I bet hubby loves the boobies 😂💐 xx

babyno5 He's not allowed near

@backmassageplease 😂😂. Get well soon and don't forget next time hubby trots out the "I'm dying of manflu" what you've soldiered through ! 💐💐

Bloody hell. That's horrendous. Get well soon

Get well soon, and thank you for updating us

Bloody hell, just googled encephalitis

Hope you feel better soon

How are you doing? Hope you’re feeling better?
