Head injury
For the past 4 months I've been chronically sick. Stomach, head, and breathing problems. Due to other reasons though, but for the past 3 nights my head has felt like its been hit with a 50lb brick multiple times. The pain occurs randomely. It's in the lower part of my head, but above my neck. If I tilt my head side to side my vision becomes blurred, and it hurts even more. The times on how long it stays varies, but its usually around an hour or so. I've tried medication, laying down, rubbing my head, but it just doesnt work. I've had a migraine before and I know that this isnt it. I was wondering if anyone knew of what this might be, and if I should go to the ER, like I was planning on doing. I did have a slight concussion about a month and a half ago, which might have something to do with it. Or maybe it ties in with me chronically being sick for 4 months. If anyones had this happen to them, or knows of any websites, please let me know.

Hi there,
You need to get to the ER immediately.
Head trauma is nothing to take chances with. You could have any of a hundred problems going on there, but each and EVERY one of them needs to be seen by a doctor ASAP.
I am dead serious about this: Listen to me, and pay attention:
ANY time moving your head makes your vision blurry, you need to be in the hospital, without exception.
Do NOT drive yourself to the hospital.
If there is nobody there that can take you to the hospital this very second, then you pick up the phone and dial 911 for an ambulance.
Please listen to me. Get off the computer, and go to the hospital. When you get there tell them all the medications you have tried.
I am not a doctor, but I have had head injuries and been around hundreds of them.
Now, and I mean NOW: Tell whoever is there that you need to go to the ER.
If there is nobody that can drive you, right now, you pick up the phone and call for an ambulance.
You need professional medical care, and you need it right this minute.
Please let me know that you are ok when you get back.
Just in case... I will say it again: Go to the hospital NOW. Please.

You need to get to a doctor soon! Don't hesistate. It may be something more serious than anticipating! It's best to go now than to wait. If there is something wrong, they can do something about it sooner!
