Given the history, I'd give her regular doctor a call anyway.
One general observation - Earlier in the thread I said that there are few things we want to see you in the ER for, and that headaches are on many an ER residents hate list. However, a sudden, very severe headache with no prior history is a good reason to come down for a visit. This is esp. true if its accompanied by other symptoms like changes in vision, dizziness, confusion, nausea, intense dislike of bright lights, or weakness.

thanks doc!
the headaches pass pretty quickly shes says and there's no nausea, weakness, dizzines or confusion. they've apparently been happening for a while now but i just found out. she tends to keep stuff like that from me cause i go into freak out mode.
i'll call to set up an appointment first thing tomorrow
