You are seeing a 28-year-old previously healthy male bodybuilder in the emergency department for headache evaluation. He tells you that he was lifting weights yesterday afternoon and then when he got home he developed a non-throbbing bifrontal headache during dinner. He took some aspirin and lay down and felt better in about 20 minutes. Then he got up and within 10 minutes of resuming normal activity the headache returned. He went to bed for the night and the headache resolved. Today the pain returned, but he feels better now that he is lying down on a stretcher. Neurologic examination is unremarkable. The most appropriate initial management of this patient's condition is
A. bed rest and hydration for 1-2 weeks
B. brain MRI
C. intravenous prochlorperazine
D. observation in the hospital
E. psychiatry consult
