Document Summary
Pharm 417 headache disorders practice cases key. Ag, a 26-year old male, came to the emergency department at the hospital complaining of severe headache attacks over the last two days. He experienced severe frequent headache attacks that lasted from 15 to 30 min. The pain is penetrating around his left eye and ear. He had some sweating and tearing on that side. He had similar two attacks last month but he thought it is an allergy as he had nasal congestion and lacrimation. He tried advil cold and sinus and it worked last time. But this time it did not work and the frequency of headache was so often, every 2 hours and he thinks that there is something wrong with his head as if he is developing a brain tumor. Mr g is healthy and is not on any medication aside from some non-prescription analgesics. Mr g currently works as human resources administrator in an accounting firm.
