A couple of days ago I woke up with really bad headaches that were mostly concentrated on my temples and back of head. I could hardly stand up, and even when I did, my head had to be lowered to some good degree. I only felt better lying down and quick movements and coughing triggered the headaches badly.
My throat was a bit sore and at some point during that day I got a fever (highest I got was 37.9 C).
Next day I'm feeling better, no fever, but still little appetite. Headaches have gotten better, but still there.
Today is the 3rd day since I got 'em and it's definitely better, I can stand up, walk, etc. but there's definitely some sensitivity in the areas I mentioned. My neck also feels kinda stiff.
Some points to take into account:
>my pillows are kinda hard which have given me stiff neck before, I think
>I might have been oversleeping lately
>for the past two days or so, I've spent so much time in bed, I got to stare at my phone a lot (it's actually a really bad habit I have for a while now)
besides the headaches/ discomfort, my throat is still a bit sore and it kinda hurts when I swalow, but other than that I guess I'm feeling fine.
I'm kinda really paranoid this could be meningitis. Should I be worried?
Suicide headaches?
Go to a doctor son.
bump for being scared

Here's a really bizarre off-the-wall idea:
See a doctor.
do they not have urgent care in your country? A walk in clinic where you can just go right in and see a doctor.
Could be the flu or something. If it is getting better maybe you should wait a while but remember to stay hydrated and eat. If it gets any worse you should see a doctor

called my doc, she said it's likely due to me having been sick
>>17118820
funny thing, I'm kinda scared about doing that, even though I'm being an idiot

It's gotten better for sure, but I still feel a bit of pressure/ slight pain at the back of my head every now and then. I just find it weird that it's such an odd place, if it were somewhere else, I probably wouldn't be stressing so much.

Well if I remember right I would get horrible headaches and bodyaches when I got the cold or the flu. It could be related to it and for now you shouldn't worry too much. If I were you I wouldn't jump to conclusions about worse things it might be until it hasn't gone away for like a week

yeah, that's basically what my doc said. I explained it all and she basically said it's normal and that it's likely I caught a virus. Said I shouldn't worry especially since I got sick just 2 days ago and it seems I am getting better. Told me I should take some painkillers in the mean time to help tolerate the pain.

I would listen to her. To me it doesn't sound like much to worry about except how much it sucks right now.
