See doctor: Migraine headaches typically last 4 to 72 hours. If it lasts weeks, it is probably a pain medication caused headache or recurring tension headaches. Cluster headaches are more frequent in men. Might be time to see your doctor for help. There are medications to stop a migraine such as sumatriptan, migranal, cafergot (ergotamine and caffeine)...

Get seen: A 3 day long migraine often needs stronger medication to stop the pain cycle. The "bruised" feeling is possibly muscle spasm and pain from the headache. Your BP can be elevated due to pain. An urgent care or your family doctor can help.
