Hi all.
So, I've done well to last this long without posting about this. But I've given in and need some advice.
Last week I had a really nasty headache on the top right of my head. It was quite intense and lasted about 7-10 seconds. I spoke to my friend and she said she'd been having a similar thing, which made me feel better. She'd read up about it, and said they're called ice pick headaches, which are pretty horrible and painful, but don't last long, which was what happened with me.
However today I've had sort of mild stabbing pains in that same spot and I'm really panicking, even debating a&e. I know that sounds silly, but my mum had an aneurysm last November, and I'm worried this could be what it is.
I am probably a little dehydrated today, I had a few drinks last night, and I'm tired, so I know those are huge factors in headaches, but it's just the fact it's in the same area that's panicking me.
Has anyone had anything similar?
Thanks xx
