Is a headache that is not relieved by a 500mg paracetamol a serious thing?

Headache: While headaches are common there are more severe varieties such as tension type, migraines, sinus, cluster which are more serious. Since we don’t know if this is a 1st HA or a common phenomenon, if this does not clear in 24 hours, get a medical exam to,determine if YOUR HA is a serious one, and learn how,to,prevent or treat future ones.

Headaches: All headaches are triggered by underlying issues, intrinsically or extrinsically, and the real question involves how these affect quality of life. Need to evaluate both frequency and intensity. If these are repetitive, the pattern can be stopped. Consider seeing a neurologist, and exploring the newer approaches to headache management. A virtual consult on HT might help to start.
