My vision has been blurry and I've had this terrible headache that won't go away. Sometimes my speech slurs and I feel a bit out of it like I might pass out. Could this be because blood flow to the nerves in my brain is blocked? Would I need surgery for this?

Common causes of blurry vision and headaches are migraines, eyestrain, and other correctable vision issues. Examples of emergency causes include a stroke, dangerously low blood sugar, traumatic brain injury, and carbon monoxide poisoning

I'm really worried about my nephew. He had this strange popping sensation in his head and then got a super painful headache. We rushed him to urgent care, but they didn't do any tests and said he was okay. Should we be taking him to a hospital instead? Could this be something serious, or is it possible that it's nothing to worry about?

It would be advisable in this scenario to consult with a specialist and get a detailed evaluation.
