i'm sorry to hear you're going through this. yes you should have this checked out as soon as possible. if you can get in to see your primary care provider (pcp) quickly that would be your best bet. if you can't get an office visit at least try to speak with your pcp's nurse. since your pcp has all your medical history his or her office is in the best position to advise you what to do about this. a headache that doesn't go away is always a reason to see a health care provider. long-term headaches can be a symptom of a larger problem. i wish you all the best with this!
if my headache has lasted for 5 days and nothing is helping should i go to a doctor? . i have had a headache for a little over five days. i was also diagnosed with a pitituary cysit a few years ago. no otcs are helping nor are my perscriptions. it keeps getting worse. my joints hurt and i keep getting muscle cramps.
