So sorry to hear about your major relentless headache for the last week.
We recommend seeing your primary care physician for a thorough physical exam and be referred to a neurologist and obtain a brain MRI, if indicated, to rule out underlying brain problems. In the meantime, avoid alcohol, cheeses, caffeine is either worsening or improving the headache depending on the timing. Stress does not help and should be avoided andake sure your blood pressure is controlled.
Warm wishes,
