Thunderclap headaches anybody?
Hello everybody,
I'm 4 1/2 years out since my diagnosis. Since I was er/pr negative, my onc told me that if I make it to 5 years without any recurrence then my chances of being "cured" are very high. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to that day!
My concern is that I just recently started getting these "thunderclap" headaches. These are headaches that come on all of a sudden and are the worst headaches ever. I felt like my head was going to explode both times I experienced these. Both times I was lifting weights in a class at the Y. I was in so much pain I had to leave in the middle of class. I rarely get headaches at all and certainly never ones like this!
I went to the doctor yesterday and they are going to do a CT scan of my head to make sure I don't have a mass of some kind in my brain. I'm hopeful that it isn't but just wondering if any of you have experienced anything similar.
Take care,
Brenda
