I'm going on day 5 post op. I'm experienceing one of the worst headaches ever with nasea. I'm using these sea sickness bracelets that actually work but I still have a throbbing headache even after taking 2 advils. I'm monitoring my temp and its normal. Should I seek medical attention?? And my PS is 4 hrs away :/
