I fell on Wednesday evening, landing on my butt, hard. (A slippery floor, my feet went out from under me!) I got a severe headache almost immediately after, and I still have it on Friday night. On Wednesday evening, I felt almost sick to my stomach, irritable, and just generally awful. My neck was, and is, still sore, too. I have been resting, using ice packs, and have taken Fioracet for pain (I have had headaches, but different from this). The Fioracet doesn t seem to work for this. I didn t seek medical aid at the time because I was just so relieved that nothing seemed broken -- no sharp pains anywhere, no swellings. I am female, 57, a year and a half out from finishing chemo and radiation for breast cancer. It is now Friday night (actually, very early Saturday morning) and I still have the severe headache and neck ache, but not as bad as Wednesday night. Is it still worth seeing a doctor, or is it the sort of thing one just gets through? It s not worse. Thanks.
Hi, As you are having headaches, it is better to consult a physician and get a CT scan of your head to rule out any intracranial problems including bleed. As of now, you can take analgesics like Tramadol for pain relief. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
