It is 5:24 am. I fell to sleep last night at 11:30 and woke up and 1:47 am. That's. 2 hours of sleep. And I still haven't fallen back to sleep. I have had really bad heart burn all night and I have this killer head ache that won't go away. I've had it for 2 days now. Well I have to work at 7 a.m. do I call in? I am just nervous that in an hour or 2 I am going to pass out or something

    No advice but it is possible to take off today. If you're pregnant no one is going to think twice if you call out sick. Just make something up, buy/take some medication and go back to bed.

    I cannot sleep at all. What can I take?

    There's a bunch of stuff you can take. See this list:

    Go to the drugstore and go back to bed. It's not even safe to try to function on that little sleep. The world can wait.

    Take tylenol and some tums

    @jmask I would absolutely take the day off. Do you have a history of headaches or possibly migraines? If it is by chance a migraine, Tylenol will not make it go away. I toughed out my last horrible migraine for 2 days before calling the nurses line on the 3rd day, they told me to come in that there was no reason for me to be suffering like that. Although what they gave me did not work for me and I had to go to the ER anyway, I was able to find some relief...although the headaches haven't stopped. I'm seeing a specialist tomorrow thankfully because I have a history. I do hope you find relief and get some sleep, but by no means should you be working. For the heartburn, tums are a standard, but I find that sometimes they don't help. If you're nauseous, don't fight it. At least if you vomit, you might be able to get rid of some of the stomach acid. Dry crackers and maybe some mint tea with honey might help calm your tummy.
