As I was carrying my son downstairs yesterday lunchtime'ish I got a sudden intense pain in my head and eye which then turned into the worst headache I've ever had. Took painkillers all day and it just didnt ease so at 11pm I phoned out of hours and they told me to go to a&e.

I went and after examining me, asking questions etc they said they think it's a severe migraine but if I start vomiting, get any weakness in arms and legs, face drops at one side blah blah to go straight back. It's day two and I still feel rotten, got a horrible burning pressure feeling on top of my head and am panicking that's it's more serious. They were obviously talking about a stroke with the things they listed and anxiety causes some of those symptoms so it's even worse.

Never had a migraine but I just feel so ill and as it gets to evening/night time Im worrying much more, then I wont sleep which will make me feel even worse sigh x

Hi Abby.. I don't know if you suffer from stress and anxiety but I do and a few months ago I had a horrible pressure on the top of my head going down towards the back of my ear. It felt different to a headache.. Just pressure. After 5 days I went to the hospital and they gave me 2 co codomol and 1 diclofenic ( strong one) they made me wait for about 45 min to see if it had eased.. It had. It was a migraine. Not in my family and I had not had one before but I was beginning to worry. What tablets did they give you?

Hi, it's awful, the pain has been in my eye and temple but is now on the top of my head but a weird sensation.. I'm breastfeeding so they just gave me paracetamol and Ibruprofen as I cant take anything stronger x

Try not to worry about it as it will only give you a tension headache. It is common to have weird sensations or brain zaps with anxiety and not forgetting, if you have a small child you will be a little extra tired and stressed but if it continues or gets any worse.. get it double checked even if its just to stop you worrying x
