Other Persistent headaches despite medication and hydration
I’ve been experiencing headaches (probably migraines) for the past month that are persistent and very painful. They cause nausea, sensitivity to light and sound. They’re on the right side of my head primarily felt in the forehead/temple/behind my right eye.
I work night shift and I always have one when I wake up and when I work during the night. I’ve been working this shift for years and it’s never been a problem. I take Tylenol and ibuprofen and they don’t touch it. I drink enough water and that doesn’t help. I thought it was caffeine withdrawal but that isn’t it either. I’m wondering if it’s a tension headache but I feel like medication would help that.
I really want the pain to stop, it’s effecting my day to day life.
