34 yo male with pmh of mild htn, mild dm. emt. gradual onset throbbing r sided headache x 3-4 days relieved with motrin. Came in because was transporting a patient and had a little nausea. No h/o trauma, etc.
100% normal exam, eating drinking talking to buds. felt better with motrin reglan.
2 weeks later, continues to have headaches so gets a scan... acute on chronic SDH. (still with 100% normal exam)
WTF????
ACEP guidlines and new JAMA headache guidlines don't buy this guy a scan initially.
No problem... but why the heck does this guy have a SDH
