Hi everyone,
I am 25 yr old female, just had a baby 2 months ago. About a week ago i got a terrible head cold that lasted about 3 days--I still have a stuffed up nose. Well I have been getting these terrible headaches, like I have never felt before. It starts in my forehead and wraps around the back of my head , sometimes it feels like it is in my ears also, and my gums ache --but not always with this headache. I take tylenol but it doesnt help it, also tried IBprofren and it does a little to take away the pain. it seems if i lay down it will subside until i start moving around and doing things. The back of my head also hurts a little when i push on it, feels like a pressure thing. this has been going on for about 4 days now.
Now I had that cold, and I have been using nasal spray for over a year now =/ I am addicted it seems. Also have been through A LOT of stress, my baby was preemie, 2 weeks in nicu, I get about 2 hrs of sleep a night, my father-in-law just passed away last sunday. I sleep on the couch with my baby most of the night. ( for about 2-3 hrs i get sleep)
I also have panic attacks, so I am a little less inclined to go to the docs until i see some opinions..they blame everythign on anxiety. I am very worried this is a tumor, but mom said i would KNOW and this wouldnt have been goign on for 4 days now--i think she just tries to make me feel better.
Well thanks for listening and thanks for any advice.
