I have had a headache for days now. It's becoming unbearable.

It hurts to touch my head
It's making my right eye blur
Can't concentrate
My words get jumbled
The light hurts
I keep getting dizzy
And it's making me not want to eat

I know I can't be diagnosed here. But it takes a long time to see a doc unless its the ER.

Anybody know what it COULD be?
It's killing me. My mother thinks I'm overreacting. So she won't call the doc.

Any advice?
Or any magic tricks to get rid of it?

What is your temperature, did you hit your head? Go to ER

I don't wanna say what it could be, but brain bleeding, meningitis and head injuries are serious

I don't think I hit my head. But I could have and just forgotten.

My temp is 98.1 F ... So almost normal.

Did you take any medications for it? are you also taking MAOIs, diuretics, high blood pressure meds. how old are you? I would suggest getting off the computer, lay down a dark or dim lighted room, head on bed with 2 pilllows, ask your mom for Tylenol

Pay attention to what might have caused it, where it hurts (one side, on top of head) foods you ate, any signs just before it happened, how much you sleep, and your stress level

I took something for it 2.5 hours ago...
It always hurts on the right side which causes my right eye to be blurry... But now it just moved to the left side, but it's not as severe as it was on the right side.
The meds helped a little but it still hurts a lot.
I don't take any regular medicine.
I'm 14 year of age
I don't think anything caused it. The last time I remember hitting my head was in late January when I crashed my four-wheeler and was pinned under it. But that was long ago. (I have a TERRIBLE memory so I could have fallen or something and forgot about it)
I can't remember when it started. I know it was less than two weeks but more than three days
I'm stressed 24/7

P.s. (when I lay down, the pain moves to the side I lay on. It feels like the pain is a thing and that thing drips or falls to the side I'm laying on. Is that bad?)

Thank you for the advice. I am going to lay down right now.

sounds like a very severe migraine

[hawthoerne]

but confirm with a dr of course

Yes, it does sound like migraines.
You really do need to see a doctor to correctly diagnose your headaches. Most likely they'll give you a cat scan to rule out any serious problems. You'll also be able to get medications, to help your headaches.
There's no reason why you should be suffering like you are, please seek help.

I started having migraines at age 3.

Since you are unable to eat, which probably must mean that you are very seriously nauseous, and migraines are very often accompanied by nausea, I would join others in suspecting that it is a migraine.

OTC medications can give you rebound headaches. So they are dangerous. Prescription medications are better - there are medications for migraines that are very effective, but I do not know if they are used in adolescents - the class of them is called TRIPTANS.

Your mother is being very unreasonable.

There are no magic tricks, but there is an important requirement - you must be well hydrated, as dehydration will make the matters much worse.

You cannot eat, but can you drink tea?

Not really.

[hamster-bamster]

OK.

So, "Adolescents (12-18 years of age) may be prescribed sumatriptan nasal spray (10 mg)." - and the nasal spray works best when you are nauseous and cannot eat or drink.

This is from a UK source Triptans | Health | Patient.co.uk

I do not remember if you are in the US or UK, but if you are in the US, search to see if you can get sumatriptan at your age in the US.

ER ***IS*** the proper route when you have had a headache for days and it is killing you. Even if your mother were to come to her senses (OK, her blaming you for the rape and the threat of her disowning you if you disclose the love for a girl have been explained, by you, by her religion. Being religious in no way excuses blaming the rape on you and the disowning threat - her behavior remains inexcusable and inhumane - but at least it can explain it. Not excuse, but explain. Well, how do you explain that she basically tells you not to feel pain from the headache? It is abuse on her part, in a very clearcut manner) and call a doc now, it would not help - you now need to go to ER to stop the pain. You can later go see a doc by way of a regular appointment to look into the causes (ct scan mentioned above etc.), but NOW you need to STOP the pain. ER may be able to give you an injection to stop the pain.

Her not acting also means that she is neglecting you. So, neglect+abuse... you did not luck out for sure.

SHE isn't abusive. She just doesn't listen when I talk. And likes to blame me for literally EVERYTHING.
But Ive been taking pain medicine that also makes you sleep so I don't feel it.
I'm highly considering the ER at this level of pain

Thank you for your help

You should know that this is, quite officially, a sign of emotional abuse.

Look here, on this site:
Signs of Emotional Abuse | World of Psychology

in bold, the part that is relevant to you:
[LIST=1][*]Humiliation, degradation, discounting, negating. judging, criticizing:[LIST][*]Does anyone make fun of you or put you down in front of others?[*]Do they tease you, use sarcasm as a way to put you down or degrade you?[*]When you complain do they say that “it was just a joke” and that you are too sensitive?[*]Do they tell you that your opinion or feelings are “wrong?”[*]Does anyone regularly ridicule, dismiss, disregard your opinions, thoughts, suggestions, and feelings?
