6 day headache

I can't shift it. I've tried everything... Water, rest, hot bath, migraleeve, spoke to gp.

I am on sertraline and the doctor wasn't sure it was the tablets causing them.

I'm struggling now after so many days of it.

It started in the left side of my neck, then went to the back of my neck and then up to the back of of my head, pulsating. Had a bit of relief after the pink and then yellow tablets but it comes back.

Any advice?

Have you had a covid test? Long shot but this was the only symptom one of my friends had.

THe standard advice, before lockdown, was that any headache that lasted more than three days needed to be investigated. I think the only question I have, is have you had anything like this before? I would say that if it doesn’t go after the weekend, you should go to A n E. Also, I always used to try to fight migraines and work through them. My GP said this made them worse. Can you spend the day in bed?

Covid test!

I havnt had a covid test, maybe I should?

I do have migraines, never like this in the neck, back of head and they never last longer than a day.

I've been resting for a bit eaCh day. But with my Husband home I'm going to rest proper today.

I will call gp back on Monday to review? He said the headache didn't hit any red flags.
Its horrible and doing my head in 😣🤕😉

Have you checked your blood pressure? I have migraines too and had one long spell like this a year ago. Checked my BP and it was very high.
