Question by abay98: I’ve had a severe migraine accompanied with vomiting and shoulder/neck pain…?
Last night around 9 PM, I started getting a headache. Over the next few hours, it started getting worse. I couldn’t sleep all night, and at about 4 in the morning, it was at its worst. I ended up going to the bathroom because I was feeling sick to my stomach. I threw up a lot – twice. My neck and shoulders hurt really bad, but the headache and sick feeling overpowered it. After I threw up, I was pretty exhausted, and ended up falling asleep after a while. Throughout the night I had taken some Tylenol PM and later, just an off brand extra strength pain relief. Today I still have a pretty bad headache, not as bad as last night, but my shoulders and neck hurt really bad. I don’t feel very sick, but I’m afraid to eat because I don’t want to throw up again. Anyway, I can’t get into the doctor for another hour and half, does anyone know anything I can do to help with the pain until my appointment??? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
All of the questios are very helpful so far – I don’t think I’ll be able to pick a best answer. Anyway, I went to the doctor and she said it’s probably just from tension and that’s why I have the neck and shoulder pain. However, she’s just a doctor at our school who seems to shrug off a lot of things. The person who answered that it might be meningitis…is it really possible? Should I go to another doctor and bring that up to them? I read somewhere that meningitis is also accompanied with a rash. A couple weeks ago, I went to the doctor about a rash type thing that I keep getting on my legs and arms, but she said it was eczema. Could these symptoms be connected? I just want to be sure because meningitis is very deadly isn’t it? Before I came to college about 1.5 years ago, I got the shot…so I’d think that I’d be safe, right? Anymore advice on this subject would be helpful.
