Q. I have a sudden, extremely severe headache that feels like I was hit by a hammer.

A.

This is an emergency. There is a very high likelihood of a brain hemorrhage (subarachnoid hemorrhage). Do not look for painkillers; you must immediately call 119 or go to a major hospital's emergency room. Every second counts.

📝 Detailed Answer

평생 겪어본 적 없는 최악의 두통입니다.

  • 증상: 갑자기 시작되어 1분 내에 최고 강도에 도달하며, 구토, 의식 저하, 마비가 동반될 수 있습니다.
  • 주의: "좀 쉬면 낫겠지" 하다가 골든타임을 놓칠 수 있습니다.
⚠️ 뇌동맥류

뇌혈관 꽈리가 터진 것일 수 있습니다. CT/MRI 촬영이 필수입니다.
