So for the past almost two months I’ve had a constant headache that won’t go away no matter what I do and my pupils have been doing this weird thing where one will be blown out and the other is either normal or tiny - is this normal or nah

Headaches are considered urgent once they last more than 72 hours This is also a potential sign of stroke, btw

Unless you have explicitly been told this is normal for you by a neurologist who has run tests, NOT an ER doctor, do NOT blow this off. I’ve had an 8 year constant migraine and pupil difference is a big red flag to look for

Different pupil sizes is a big red flag. That alone means you need to be checked out. I have a constant headache due to cervical instability and intracranial hypertension from EDS so while it’s still not good if you do have EDS, if you don’t have EDS, you really need to see a dr
