hi ive had a headache now for 5 weeks, i have been to a doctor twice and went to the emergency room in the 3rd week to get some answers as my GP was not helpful. they did blood, urine tests and an x-ray of my lungs and chest. everything came back fine except a small urinary tract infection. they prescribed me some strong anti-biotics for 3 days and they seemed to work as i wasnt worried about it anymore (they said my worrying makes it worse) however after i finished the meds it came back just the same, alcohol aggravates this headache, its dull, mild, and i feel my muscles are very tight in my neck.. coughing bending over or sneezing doesnt make this headache any worse and when i wake in the morning the headache is not there.. sometimes it comes 10 minutes after i wake.. other times it wouldnt be till the night time.. its never bad pain just always there.. it seems like a tension headache but i cant stop thinking about it.. can a tension headache last this long? has anyone out there had this before? HELP!!! 5 weeks people
GP gave me a letter for a neurologist but only for reassurance as he said he's 99.9% certain its nothing.. should i be so worried?
