[19F] Experiencing severe migraines with neurological symptoms

What might be happening

Based on the information you've provided, here are a few possible conditions:

• Migraine: Migraines are a type of headache characterized by severe, throbbing pain usually on one side of the head. They can cause nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. However, your symptoms seem more severe than typical migraines.

  • Treatment typically involves medications to relieve symptoms and prevent future attacks.

• Cluster Headaches: These are severe headaches that occur on one side of the head and come in clusters. Symptoms can include severe pain in or around one eye, restlessness, excessive tearing, and nasal congestion.

  • Treatment can involve oxygen therapy, triptan medications, and local anesthetics.

• Brain Aneurysm: This is a bulge in a blood vessel in the brain. It can leak or rupture, causing bleeding into the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). Symptoms can include a sudden, severe headache, nausea, vomiting, and loss of consciousness.

  • Treatment involves urgent medical attention and may include surgery.

• Meningitis: This is an inflammation of the membranes surrounding your brain and spinal cord. Symptoms can include a severe headache, fever, and stiff neck.

  • Treatment involves urgent medical attention and antibiotics.

Please note that these are just possibilities, and it's important to see a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.

What you can do

Given the severity of your symptoms, it's important to seek immediate medical attention. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

What you should look out for

Watch out for any worsening of symptoms, such as increased severity of headaches, increased confusion, seizures, or loss of consciousness. These are signs that you should seek immediate medical attention.
