He said it was a migraine. But I knew it was different. He didn't even come back in after treatment was given, just have discharge orders. The next day my head still hurts, I feel pins inside which is Not a normal headache. My body is weak, I'm dizzy.
Possible trigger:

I will be going in to see a np at my doc's office. I hope some strength returns soon. My IBS flare and cramps aren't helping. What if ER doc missed something. Or is it my distress that is creating these symptoms. I've had a rough 4 days. If my head isn't supported then my headache increases. Base of my head and sides of my head hurt.

Please go get checked back out if you haven't already. I went in to the ER once with head pain, dizziness and if I turned my head I'd black out momentarily. The ER doc told me it was a migraine and would not listen to anything I had to say. He treated me like I was simply drug seeking(not something that I've ever done) and that I was being a baby since "it was just a migraine".

By the next day I couldn't even move to get myself dressed. I had to call my aunt to help me and get me back to the ER. Turns out I had a sinus infection that was in my back sinus cavities. It took a CT scan to catch it and they told me that if I had not come back it would have spread into my brain.

You know your body and how it feels better than they do a second or even third opinion never hurts. I hope you get it figured out
