Q: Quick Headache Question
asked by: JasonR66 on June 5th, 2007

I've had a dull non-stop headache for I don't even know how long. Probably this entire year, maybe longer. Sometimes it’s really bad, especially in the morning. During those times it’s a really bad throbbing that effects my entire head and face. Usually though it’s a dull ache that effects my entire face and most of my head with occasional throbs from time to time. It also gets worse when I really concentrate, do any physical activity, or bend over. I don’t really have any other problems with it besides being really tired and every once in a while I’ll have a hard time focusing.

My question is should I see a doctor for this or just tough it out? If the pain gets too bad I’ll take Excedrin migraine medicine which somewhat works for an hour or two but the pain usually comes back. But the pain is never so bad I can’t function. Is this worth going to the doctor over?

Thanks.

Welcome to ehealth!

I do feel it is worth going to a doctor. While, I hope it is nothing serious, it isn't fair to allow yourself to feel this way everyday. It is pobably a sinus problem or possibly tension headaches. They are both easily diagnosed and treated.

I hope you are feeling better soon. Keep us posted!
