Sudden Onset Of Headaches, Loss Of Concentration, Pain On Moving, Touching Head. History Of Migraines. Cure?
Hello, my head just started randomly hurting extremely bad just a little bit ago. I am use to migraines, but this is so much worse. I feel as though I can not concentrate or even move really. Even the slightest movement of my head or someone putting their hand on my head hurts really bad. Can you please tell me what I should do?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Any change in the character of headache in a person with migraine requires evaluation. You should consult a neurologist, who may ask for a CT scan of brain to exclude other causes for the headache.
For relief of pain you may take ibuprofen or diclofenac tablets.
Best wishes,
