Effect: An aneurysm which is an inflamed area in an artery.
This thunder clap head pain does not go away like a normal headache. A normal headache tends to go away of you pop a painkiller and that does not require immediate attention. The only way to tell a migraine from a normal headache is the migraine makes your head spin and you become queasy. Migraine also causes you to become extremely sensitive to bright light and loud sound. It also becomes intense little by little.
If you experience such pain, please seek immediate attention of your doctor and the doctor will certainly send you for a CT scan to check for any blood seeping into the brain. If there is haemorrhaging, you would have to undergo surgery to take care of the bleeding.
