Update: My head is still pounding

Okay so I have decided to just go to the Doctor, my head has been pounding since last Wednesday.  And now I am starting to get worried, I have a Pituitary Tumor (not cancerous and have been on treatment for a while)  and I am afraid that it might be related.  The one thing I always worried about with the Tumor was surgery, because...well...who ever wants surgery on their head.  I have tried some things that others mentioned in my previous post and nothing has helped.  I found an over the counter aspirin that seems to at least take the edge off.  But, again, I'm worried that I haven't improved at all.  

Okay I really just need to get that out.  I am always afraid to say anything to my H because he doesn't handle "worrying" well.  He freaks out worse than I do and that doesn't help me.  Maybe that is a little selfish but I can't make him feel better while trying to make myself feel better in the process. Just worried.

    Definitely go to the doctor if it's been going on this long! I get migraines and whenever they last 3-4 days they do a cat scan to make sure it isnt anything more serious. So don't be alarmed if when you go to the doctor they make you get a cat scan/MRI. They may also recommend you go see a neurologist. Good luck and keep us updated!

    Oh no! Mine's been on and off since last Monday as well- I think you should definitely go to the doctor, but given that I keep hearing others with migraines the last week as well I'm thinking it may be just something in the air (or hoping, b/c I really don't want to go to the doctor!)

    Thanks everyone.  I am use to the MRIs at this point (oh and the blood work)  I get these things done regularly.  After I talk to my Regular Dr tomorrow, I will call my Endocrinologist (yup thats the Dr you get when one has a growth in their pituitary gland)  I am kinda hoping they order either an MRI or Cat, just so I know for sure everything is okay.  Of course this is the week my Mom had to go away, she is usually the one who keeps me from worrying, but thank you all for listening and your advice/vibes.  It certainly helps.

    My brother in law had this surgery a couple months ago.  He was back to work shortly & is fine.
