Kim, I'm so glad you made an appointment, and I hope it's only sinuses. As bad as they can be, they are minor compared to what happened to my best friend's sister a few years ago. She, like most of us, was familiar with headaches, so when she got a particularly bad one she thought nothing of it. It lasted a few days - like yours - and then one day it was so bad she couldn't stand it anymore. She had her boyfriend take her to the emergency room and they discovered that she had an aneurism that had burst. They immediately got her into surgery which she survived, but the next few days didn't go well at all, and....well...she didn't make it. She was only 31 years old.

So I don't mean to scare you, and it probably is just your sinuses, but any really bad headache that lasts for a few days definitely needs to be checked out. Had she gone to the doctor earlier, they might have discovered the aneurism before it burst, and she would have been fine and still alive today.

Please let us know what they say.
