What causes a pop in the head with acute headaches?
Patient: I know this sounds weird.... I am 42 years old with low blood pressure, in great health but last night I got really mad and felt a pop in the top of my head and have had a headache for the past 24 hours with no relief from advil. I called my Dr office this afternoon but she is on vacation this week. The pain has yet to subside but I don t have any other symptoms that would indicate a brain bleed or that this could be life threatening... thoughts? Should I get a CT or MRI to be on the safe side? Doctor: Thank you for asking Healthcare majic.
