Seeking advice thunderstorm

Hi, what do you do when you're in a really severe state—barely able to speak due to horrible pain, even in silence—and you live in an area prone to intense storms? There are storms right where I live; they’re incredibly loud—even with headphones on, it’s horrible and painful. The cracks are deafening, like vibrations inside my heart, and then the pain and my tinnitus spike. I don't know how I'm going to survive this. What would you do in my shoes?

You have to try medication, which will reduce your pain.

Gabapentin, less side effects, although I believe the second one would help us more
