How long until I should see a doctor?

I hit my head on Saturday and am still having severe migraines. I know that Zachary had post concussion syndrome and they did nothing. He had migraines for a month! So should I just wait this out and keep popping the Exedrine? I am just not sure if I will be able to go to work tomorrow with this so I didn't know if I should go to the dr and get a note etc. It's more annoying then anything

If you're still having headaches this long, I would go ahead and go. Can you call work and see if they can switch your hours?

I already did switch my hrs with someone once this week. I kinda hafta go I guess...Just not looking forward to being 'nice' while my head hurts. It is much better today-just a nagging headache instead of sharp shooting pains. Maybe it is getting better.

Krista, you should go if you're still in pain. They might not be able to do much, but maybe give you a prescription for a pain killer other than Excedrine. But at least you will get checked out and make sure everything is ok.

I would go and get checked out anyways,, if all else fails maybe you can get some better meds to help deal with the migraines?

I would have it checked. If they think it's nothing, maybe they can give you better pain meds. Good luck.
