Hello
While most headaches are painful and not dangerous, this particular headache, although it may be just the worst migraine he's ever had, warrants an MRI scan of his brain to rule out an intracranial bleeding.
He needs to be in the ER now.
If the MRI is normal, the ER physician can give him medication to relieve the pain
