Going on a three day headache...

[Balt]

It's one of those nice ones that feels like it's trying to push out my left eyeball. I've had it before, but never for this long.

Tylenol isn't helping, anyone had success with something stronger (Excedrine, etc.)?

Migraines suck What I do is take two Advil Migraines and sleep for an hour or two. 99% of the time when I wake up the migraine is gone.

It's probably just a tumor. joke

I'm assuming you suffer from migraines?

I have daily (or nearly) daily headaches from sinus related problems. Plus I also get migraines/visual migraines.

Advil Cold Medicine (Ibuprofen & Psuedoephedrine) works wonders for me, but people react to medicines differently. I'd have a hard time functioning without it.

Go to the doctor or emergency room.

Doctor = Toradol injection

Emergency Room = Demerol injection

It's naht a tumah!


Thanks for the suggestions, all. I think I'll give them a try (though not all at once, obviously). This is the first bad headache I've had in a while, so hopefully it's just a fluke. Thankfully I don't think I'd classify it as a migraine since I can still see and haven't felt nauseous.

Anyways, cheers.

Liquid Advil are my best friend.

They pretty much taste like candy to me now.

Ibuprofen works the best for me on those kind of headaches.

removal of the eye will relieve the pressure

Believe me, I've considered it.

Agreed. I usually take 3-4, and they are gone within an hour. I love Advil!

I'm not a doctor... but you should go see one. A three day headache could be a symptom of anything from an infection to a migraine to a tumor to high blood pressure (which may be caused by something else).

See a doc!

I had a period of about 10 years where I had really bad Migranes for days (I've only recently "grown out" of them). I found that the medicine that worked best on me was a perscription med called Fiorocet. It's basically the equivalent of a "go pill." A combination barbituate and caffine. Obviously, you would want to consult a doctor before using somthing like that.

Advil does nothing for me.

Go see a chiropractor, take some excedrine migraine. drink lots of water.
