Suggest Treatment For Severe Headaches And Excessive Sleepiness
My husband has been having severe headaches for days now. One doctor said it was stress (but he took off this past week), another said allergies. He s also sleeping all the time. I think he should go to the emergency room. At least they will do a cat scan. What is your recommendation?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Agreed.
Imaging should be considered especially if there is no previous history of headaches.
It is said if a person is having the worse headache ever experienced then imaging should be done to rule more serious causes.
It is possible that the headaches are related to stress or allergies but other causes should be ruled out.
I hope this helps
