My neck was a little stiff and still is. The headache came on very suddenly and was a constant pain. No throbbing just intense pressure. It affected my entire head. I tried a cold towel and it didn't help. Sound and light didn't affect it. I used a heating pad and it also did not help. I took diphenhydramine and ibuprofen to sleep but my head still has pain today and ibuprofen has not helped. I am vegan but I take a multivitamin every day.
I also have alopecia but I feel it's unrelated
I also have gallbladder disease and IBS I'm nauseous most days

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXX,
Thanks for being in follow-up and providing further details.
Considering the clinical details,I suggest that you should visit to an emergency room,for a physical examination and a possible CT scan of head.I am just concerned that we should not miss out any structural brain pathology.
With your earlier description,it appeared that it could have been an episode of migraine but the leading details you have provided are not supportive of migraine.Though,it still can't be entirely negated but its better to be cautious and that's why I am suggesting for a physical examination and a CT head.
Hope that helps.If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.
