I’m at work and I started to get a headache which I’m prone to, but it’s turning into a bad migraine and it’s to the point where there’s a spot on my scalp that’s sensitive to touch. And no.. I have not fallen or hit my head. Do you think I should just lay down and continue to see what happens or should I go to the emergency room?

Some additional symptoms to cluster headaches are runny noses, nasal congestion, drooping eyelids and other sinus issues.

Toxic headaches tend to commence from fevers caused by acute illnesses that then affect blood vessels.

It is great to know I’m not alone: no longer do I need to have these monstrous headaches diminished by well-meaning (?) people who do not know what they are talking about.
