Default How Do Setbacks Work?

So basically, I was feeling the best I've felt in months. My headache was a one and i didn't feel any effects of vertigo or the vision issues... ect. I walk into my Girlfriends house and immediately it's very loud there and i start getting bumped around a little bit. This triggered a very mild headache that lasted an hour until i tried to go on a longish walk like I normally would of been able to do by this point. I started feeling a little weird but not that much worse. About 2 hours later I do some other physical activity and my headache is immediately and severely worsened. So I try to sit down for a bit and its not seeming to get better, by this point the vertigo is back and so are the vision issues and sometimes the nausea. The headache ends up spiking to a 9 by the time the night is over and it becomes one of the worse days of my recent existence.

So to give you a time-frame, this happened 5 days ago. It was gradually getting better with rest and reduced screen time. Today i still feel awful and my headache spiked back up to that nine after playing a little bit of guitar. Normally its pretty low and the entire day up to a couple ours ago was fine. But then i take a walk and it helps trigger these headaches.

So what I'm asking is, are these setbacks harmful to my recovery besides the obvious pain they bring. Also, Why is this setback lasting so long? I'm getting pretty warn out on this and I want to know what I'm facing.

Sincerely, Gabe
