What happened to my head like it exploded?

The head may feel like it has exploded, which may be due to subarachnoid hemorrhage, also seen in tension headache. Subarachnoid hemorrhage is an acute hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease. Most patients have a history of hypertension before the disease, and their blood pressure will be significantly higher at the onset. If tension headache is considered, it is usually seen in young adults between 20 and 30 years old, mainly manifesting as swelling, soreness and dull pain at the top of the head, frontotemporal area or back of the head, mostly bilateral, and can appear tightness and pressure, which can be aggravated in bursts, and in severe cases, patients may also have a feeling like they are about to explode. The main treatment is symptomatic, usually non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, commonly used are ibuprofen and indomethacin, but also acetaminophen can be applied.
