Ive had a headache now for 5 weeks and one day ive been to the doc as ive had lots of other symptoms wid it the first time i was told it was stress when i said i wasnt stressed i was told yes u are subconsiously mmm then my glands in my neck became swollen i have been very fatigued falling asleep at the drop of a hat blood tests showed nothing then i ended up in casualty on sat with symptoms like a heart attack which were apparantly caused by my food pipe swelling up. I have a low grade fever but the underlying thing which hasnt gone away is this headache its usually at the back of my head feels like sumone is standing on my head it affects my concentration and i also feel a bit sick when i bend over i feel like a thousand hammers are being hit inside my head and my eyes also hurt to touch analgesia lessens the headache but never takes it away and within a couple of hours im back to square one plz has sumone got any ideas before i go totally insane because i wasnt stressed when this started but im getting that way now

Here are just a few suggestions, though you may have already tried some or even all of them with no luck. Headaches are really hard to treat sometimes.
Have you tried taking an antihistamine like benedryl or dimetapp?
Have you tried nasal spray?
What about a professional massage?
What about seeing a chiropractor?
Are you on any types of medications, or birth control pills that you think could be causing this?
Have you had the low grade fever all along? Maybe its a virus or even a bacterial infection which needs to be investigated.
Good luck!
I will say a prayer for you because I know how miserable having a headache can be.
