Good day,
I am extremely concerned about experiencing a thunderclap headache last night (aka orgasmic headache). This has not been my first and is in fact my 3rd in the past 2 weeks. Lasts night headache was particularly intense and I could feel an extremely sharp pain at the back right of my head. It did not dissipate as this has done previously and stayed with me for 3-4 hours. It disappeared after taking 2 paracetamol. After reading up on primary headache and subarachnoid hemorrhage, I am concerned. I have felt out of sorts today but this could be because I barely slept as well as the worry that this may be something bigger. The only reason I did not rush off to the Dr is because I am changing jobs and medical aid in 3 weeks time. I am concerned that if it’s serious my new medical aid won’t take me on and there is no option to remain on my existing medical aid as it is a company one.
I am not experiencing any nausea or any other symptoms, besides for the tenderness in my head if I exert myself.
Does anyone have any insights on this type of situation or any thoughts to offer in this regard.
Much appreciated, thank you.
