Headache

2025-05-22

I had a headache for a full day and a half and it was miserable. It was hard to think, work, and sleep. I eventually took some ibuprofen and got some reprieve for 6 hours or so but it was a harrowing experience. I did also have sniffles for the entire time, and I still do, and a stuffed nose which I think were related to the headache. My hypothesis is that I either had a sinus infection or really bad allergies but I am not sure which. This was a few days ago and I am feeling much better now.

It is hard for me to imagine what being in chronic pain is like and hopefully I will never have to experience it. It sounds like a very hard thing to endure for long periods.

Also I do not recall ever having allergies as a young kid but since getting older, past 30 perhaps, I have been noticing getting a stuffy nose during the spring time. This has become an annual thing and I am sure I have some level of allergies. I am thinking more about how to prevent symptoms such as taking medicine or getting an air purifier or both.
