My husband has a very intense headache on the back of his head on the left side he's had it for 3 days now what could it be? Should we worry?

I : I am assuming by intense headache you mean his pain is about an 8 or higher out of ten. Regardless an unrelenting headache that has been present for 3 days needs to be investigated. He could be dealing with a tension or migraine headache, extremely high blood pressure, or even a bleed in his brain. I don't mean to scare you but serious things can and do happen. If he has not seen a doctor as of yet he should do so immediately. Best of luck. ...Read more
