My mother was diagnosed with depression triggered blood pressure. Doctor diagnosed her with low levels of seratinin hormone. She showed symtoms of sleeplessness, depression, high BP, severe headaches. Following 2 yr medictaion her condition stabilised. Five days back her BP shot up and she was hospitalised for 2 yrs. Doctors rought down her BP with medcine but gradually she developed a headache which could not go. The headache worsened in the lst two days and she cant lift her head, its so severe. She stays in a place where there are not enough assessment options and needs to travel atleast 10 hrs for a medical help. aLL MIGRAINE MEDICINES HAVE STOPPED HELPING HER. WHAT COULD THIS BE AND WHAT SHOULD WE DO

A "5 day severe headache" and you wait until a Saturday then come here and ask strangers for help? What's wrong with you? Severe headaches, especially when unexplained, could be a stroke, tumor, aneurysm. Turn off the damned computer and take her to the doctor or hospital! Are you just waiting for it to get worse?
