Before anyone bashes, I have gone to a clinic last weekend, waited 3 hours and the doctor just told me that my headaches could be do to stress.

As far as I know I haven't had any stress for a while now. In fact, I've been enjoying a very pleasant last few months. The headaches have been ongoing for 2 weeks at the right side of my head, just behind the right ear.

Some friends have told me it couuld be a blood clot or tumour.

The last time I went to a hospital was for a broken finger. Do you think this headache is serious enough to go to a hospital for an x-ray? I don't want to go all the way there to be turned down.

p.s. Toronto physicians are useless

Well if it's been ongoing for two weeks straight it sure is no ordinary serie of headaches.
Personally I'd give it a bit more time, but that's just me.
Let us know the outcome of this, if it turns out you do have a blood clot or tumour, next time I feel a headache coming you'll see me rushing to the hospital yelling MEDIC

Yes, fucking go NOW. If it's been persistent for that long, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Okay Tim. Actually I've also recently read about another poster's friend's mom dropping dead because of a blood clot in her head. She supposedly was complaining about headaches the previous days. So now I'm kind of worried.

I went to the ER when I had a headache for just 1 week ... let alone 2. They did some cat scans on me and stuff but didn't find anything. They shot me up with Dilodid (sp, I'm not a doctor or a pharmicist ) and sent me home. That is some good stuff
