I have a severe headache that feels like a combination of migraine and tension, with shooting pain on top of my head, pain around my whole head, and sensitivity to light and touch. I also experience nausea, dizziness, and increased pain with movement. I've taken multiple Advil and other medications, but the pain persists. I'm scared it might be something serious like an aneurysm or brain tumor. What could be causing this and how can I manage it safely?
