Posted on MN a few times regarding this
Husband started having headaches last week
They started after a stressful encounter with family (long ongoing issues)
Headaches didn't really get better, went docs Monday, doc said tension headaches, possibly from stress. Gave him co codamol which didn't help
He's been having disturbed sleep, which obviously then makes him more tired.
He also grinds his teeth at night
He has been having high BP
Has a bad day Tuesday, Wednesday night he sleep very well
Went to docs again yesterday (was already booked in) they sent him to hospital for urgent scan Because of headache and hi BP. This obviously made stress worse
Berore this scenario, his headaches were actuallt a lot better
Got there, we're there for hours docs did a load of physical teats on him, said no need for scan as they were satisfied with everything and didn't have any 'red flag symptoms ' Bloods all OK. We explained all the family situation, and also we are in middle of moving house. 2 docs we spoke to think all to do with stress /tension
Been told to keep an eye on BP- they are ringing him back today to decide if he needs BP meds
Last night he had a bad sleep, woke up with headache, (I heard him griding his teeth before this) he was then tossing and turning for hours with a sore head, and then overturning
Can this all really be caused be stress ?
His head is sore this morning, but not AS bad as it has been. He's gone to work as he said his headaches are better when he's keeping busy
Could the stress of being at hospital for hours on end have caused last night's headaches? Plus the tiredness/ lack of sleep
