Is my worsening headache with fever and neck stiffness serious?

headache gets worse over 24 hours. I also have fever, stiff neck, nausea, and strong headache. I kinda headache occurs with a head injury.

1 Answer

Answered on 13th Sept '24

Headache with fever, stiff neck, and nausea along with them could be a serious matter. These symptoms, especially the worsening headache, might indicate meningitis, which is a swelling around the brain. In most cases, this is due to infections. If you have suffered a head injury recently, it becomes even more crucial for you to get checked by a neurologist urgently.

I'm 17 years old. I'm having sleep problems.i can't sleep properly in night, it's almost took me 2 hours to sleep even after closing my eyes. And in day time , my eyes started to burning

Female | 17

Seems like you might have insomnia, that is the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep. If you can’t fall asleep at night this can cause tired eyes that burn all day long. Stress, caffeine and use of screens before bedtime are some common reasons why teenagers suffer from this condition. Establishing a night time routine, avoiding caffeine and switching off the screens before going to bed may help improve your sleeping patterns.

I have had a headache for 4 days now and 2 out of the 4 days have been migraine like headaches

Female | 19

Migraine­s can be very hard. They ofte­n come with throbbing pain in your head. You may fee­l sick to your stomach. Light and sounds make it worse. Not enough sle­ep and stress can cause migraine­s. Some foods can start them too. Make sure­ you eat good stuff. Drink lots of water. Get lots of re­st. If headaches kee­p happening, talk to a doctor.

Female | 24

You experience­ stuttering, where spe­aking smoothly feels difficult. Maybe you fe­el nervous or tired. For some­ people, stuttering improve­s on its own, especially children. Howe­ver, therapies, and te­chniques exist to support fluent spe­ech. Speech the­rapy is one option. It's crucial to discuss with a speech the­rapist or doctor to find the appropriate path for you.

Sleep problems, congested brain and brain fog, frequent urination, hands freeze when I'm sleeping, impulse ideations, and bone melt when I sleep.

Female | 26

If you are getting the feeling of your mind becoming cloudy and urinating frequently, with your hands feeling cold and having dubious thoughts, it's natural to be a health care provider. These symptoms could be a result of different things, including sleep disorders or even hormonal imbalances. Trying remedies and talking to a medical practitioner will be very helpful in clarifying what is happening, you could be directed to a specialist.

I am having headache and feeling dizzy in the morning suggest something

Male | 23

These signs may arise from many different causes. One possible reason could be dehydration caused by not drinking enough water or inadequate sleep. In some cases, the morning headache can also be caused by breakfast skipping. Pay attention to your diet, include plenty of water and try to sleep well. When the symptoms do not go away, it is good to ask a doctor for help.

i'm getting extreme severe pain at the back of head. it's feeling as if someone's hitting me with hammer with each heartbeat. I had lunch in the afternoon and slept. The pain has been there from the moment I woke up. It's in the occipital region, like the occipital headache. I'm assuming 4 main reasons. 1st one is gastric pain(if gas pain has been struck in my head). it occured to me before and also maybe this time since I didn't walk after having lunch, i usually have gastric issue. 2nd is I have severe wax in my ear. my ear's also paining, so i'm assuming this back head pain because of ear wax. third is the stress/strain which i've been experiencing from a month or so, due to the exam fear n stress, i didn't sleep properly from a month and yesterday night I had undergone an incident with the biggest stress in my life, so, i'm assuming that. 4th reason is that frm childhood, i have severe severe body heat within my body, my body overheats a lot within and i had continously overheating food from 2 days and didn't drink much water, so i'm also assumung pain because of overheating. pls tell me the final diagnosis. Dear Sir/Mam, you can cross question me how much ever deep u want ! jus give me the cause n solution pls doctor! i'll be really really grateful to u sir/mam

I have some memory issue I forget things very easily Tingling sensation in hand and feet Headache Weakness

Female | 17

The possibility that a person may have memory problems, tingling in the hands and feet, headaches, or muscle weakness suggests that there may be a shortage of specific vitamins in his/her body like vitamin B12. Taking vitamin B12 could assist in this deficit and could be found in meat and dairy products.

I am 28 years old my name is amir I have Bach headache issue from last 10 days not other symptoms occur taking medicine aspirin protect 100mg and panadol Dr prescription but after taking medicine relief only 2,3 hours and again pain start please guide me what should I do

Male | 28

It can be hard when your head keeps hurting again soon after you take aspirin and Panadol. Stress is one thing that might cause these types of headaches along with bad posture or eye strain too. You should try to relax more often sitting up straight instead of slouching down in your chair for example could help out a lot here as well as taking frequent short breaks from looking at screens if this is something you do throughout the day. Visiting a doctor would be best if it doesn’t go away.
