6 day headache

[Suehuang99]

I have had a headache since Wednesday last week (6 days) - started off very mild back of head but didnt respond to painkillers. Last 2 days is much stronger & there as soon as I wake

Have tried paracetamol, ibuprofen, CBD & codeine & am now getting worried that this is chronic.. trying to work out what it could be

I am 9 months post-partum & still breastfeeding

Recenly (last 2 months) I started drinking coffee - maybe 1x iced coffee every 2 days. This week/weekend had less/no coffee. - am i crazy to think it could be caffeine withdrawl?

Thanks so much

Phone doctor or 101 for advice. 6 days is far to long to have a sore head

Also im sure CBD and coedine is not advised to be used when breastfeeding. I appreciate your in pain, but you need to speak to doctor about what pain relief is safe to take .

Phone GP please don't guess

It is 111, OP. 101 is for the police. I agree you need to seek medical advice, just to run through possibilities and exclude anything serious.

Be sure to tell them exactly the location of the headache. Occipital headache does need checking out.

Yes 111 not 101
