I got sent to A&E by out of hours for this headache on Sunday. It's horrible, it's in my head, neck and face. I keep feeling nauseous as well. I feel like there's huge pressure in my head and neck and even my ears and nose. It's a pounding sort of headache. A&E did a thorough examination and a CT scan, which was normal.
It seems to be worse in certain positions, like when I lay down in the bath this morning it got really bad and I instantly felt nauseous but sometimes it seems to improve when I lie on my bed (bed isn't totally flat, I raised the head due to hiatus hernia and reflux).
Paracetamol and ibuprofen are not helping either.
Things to note - I recently started getting migraines more frequently but this doesn't seem to be a migraine type headache (it's my whole head) and it's been going on for a week now. Sometimes it's worse than others but it's really bothering me at the moment.
I have menieres disease, which causes ear fullness and pressure but this is another level of pressure that I've not experienced before.
I have TMJ, which seem to have recently got worse, probably due to stress and recent dental work. I do have a mouth guard but it doesn't help much apart from stopping my teeth touching. I'm still really tense.
I been using beconase for a few weeks, on and off, due to a bad cold a while ago.
Any ideas of what could be causing this and what I could do for pain relief? It's really getting me down.
