I have a headache, what should I do?
Headaches should not be accompanied by other symptoms, such as sudden increase in edema (swelling), "floaters" in front of the eyes, ringing in the ears, nausea, vomiting, irritability and/or pain in the upper part of the stomach.
If you experience several of these symptoms, consult your physician quickly as this could indicate a pregnancy related-disease: pre-eclampsia.
Practical advice if you are only experiencing a headache:
- Take two 500mg paracetamol tablets,
- Rest in a quiet, dark place and try to sleep on your side.
- If this does not work, consult your physician.
