Need to examine: If you can access your doctor by phone, it would be useful to consult with the doctor. If you have breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital emergency department. Do wear a mask and maintain social distancing. Wish you good health!

Complications: We are seeing a number of post-COVID-19 lingering complications and headache is not uncommon. Some of these appear to match migraine variants, and may just exacerbate pre-existing migraine tendencies. Your best OTC prep might be naproxen sodium. If this persists, your doctor could consider a preventative.

I keep getting head aches that start around either eye, usually my left but now starting at my right. The pain is usually one sided and very strong. Today I have taken Tylenol and ibuprofen in rotation as well as napping to try to kick the head ache and nothing. I am unsure why I get these and they seem to be getting more frequent. Head aches?
