Slight TMI but need advice, ASAP

So, I started to get a headache right after sex (about 8 hours ago) and it has gradually become a throbbing migraine. Light, sounds, everything makes it throb more. I've also been drinking a ton of water today and yet when I urinate, it's just a little bit and is very dark. I remember these being signs of high blood pressure, but I don't want to go into L&D only to be told I am dehydrated or it's because I'm sick (I've had a cold for a few days)... Thoughts??

    Call L&D and ask if they think you need to be seen.

    when nothing can be done at home to alleviate the pain, it's time to call the doc.

    . This!  Not to say you have HBP or pre-e, but one of the first signs I had were headaches after sex that wouldn't go away.

    Headaches are a huge sign of high blood pressure. My doc told me if I have a migraine to go to L&D. I would at least call.

    Thanks ladies.

    Spent over 6 hours in the ER last night and didn't get home until after 4am. Now I am up again (just a few hours after finally falling asleep) for my WiC appt. After a TON of tests, a shot of morphine (that lasted all of 10 minutes) and 3 bags of fluids, I was told I am in perfect health and they don't know why my head won't stop hurting... It's still hurting btw. I seriously hate doctors. Oh and the whole time I was back there, the doctor (I was RIGHT next to the nurses station) was talking about how his airplane tugger hit his plane's wing on his hanger and caused $30,000 worth of damage. Evidentally, this doctor also landed his plane on the I-5 not too long ago as well... Overpaid SOB.
