What Causes Constant Headache?
I have had a headache for four days now. I am use to having headaches but when I closed my eyes to go to sleep last night I had a popping sensation as well as sound in my head. It was almost like a balloon popping. At the same time I had multiple flashes of light hit my eyes while they were closed. My headache was extremely worse than ever before. I still have a headache and it will dull down but never goes away. Should I go to the doctor or is it just par of a migraine?

Hi welcome to the health care magic
If you have history of migraine than it could be as part of migraine headache for which rizatriptan like drug prescribed
Your blood pressure should be checked to rule out hypertension
Ear infections, hypoglycemia, lack of sleep, smoking, viral infections, stress etc might be the cause for headache
If headache constant worsens than it is better to investigate with MRI to rule out any organic cause if present....
Take care
Consult physician for examination
Hope your concern solved
