*I have tried most over the counter cold/flu meds
*Could it be allergies?
*I dont feel bad, just have a stuffy head and runny nose
*Any thoughts are most appreciated!
The girl I have been with for 3 years now has had chronic headaches in the upper regions of her head for about a year now. Mainly around her eyes and the front/top of her head. She has gone to the doctor countless times, and so far she has had a CT scan which showed nothing at all. Then she had another scan later on, and there was still nothing besides apparently having a sinus infection.
She will get headaches almost every single day, and the scans have ruled out the possibility of a tumor or any other type of growth causing pressure in her head. The sinuses seemed to be hit and miss, and her doctor has never diagnosed her with acute sinusitis or anything like that, nor does she give her treatment for sinuses rather than the one time.
She can go to bed without a headache, but she will wake up with an extremely painful one that lasts throughout the day. The constant medicine she takes has caused their effects to not be as strong and can also cause rebound headaches, which we know.
My question is, does this sound more likely to be and eye problem or would she need to see a chiropractor? She hasn’t had an eye exam in a long time, and she used to need glasses, but not for all-the-time use, just for reading. One theory I have is that her eyes have gotten a little weaker over time and she is putting a constant strain on them, causing her headaches around her eyes and upper head. But, this doesn’t exactly make total sense when applied to her going to bed without one and then waking with one.
That’s what brings me to the chiropractor, she may be getting headaches due to muscle tension and increased pressure on her spine and nerves when she sleeps. If she has a headache when she goes to sleep, it’s always worse when she wakes up.
She has no other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, blurred or doubled vision, only the headaches. I would like some secondary opinions on this. Like I said, she’s already had CT scans and the possibility of a tumor or anything of that nature have been ruled out. Thank you so much.
Anti inflammatory meds seem to help, but my body gets used to meds so they stop working.When air pressure drops,so do I from reality.I used to have migraines,so I know these are not migraines
Spring,fall,last 2 weeks of the year & 1st 2 weeks of the year are the hardest times for me
Right before rain is here (storms are worst!)Bad times also when I’m dizzy,nauseated,& weak.Sometimes I collapse in weakness.At times my ear canals ring,feel pressure or even hurt.
Drs just give me antihistamines,which sometimes work on allergies,but never for sinuses.The only time I ever get sinus infection is when I have this 3 days.But these headaches almost always last 4-6 hours.No comfort,no relief
Airplane take off/landing make me real dizzy,&I feel sinus pressure start.It’s gone soon after landing
As a kid, in elevators,I would squat in the corner with my head in my hands.I’m adult now,still get a bit dizzy,but not bad.I have more body mass
Any ideas?
Correction, the headaches last 4-16 hours
Took my 3 year old to the pediatrician for what started out as a cold weeks ago that has ended up in what he says is a sinus infection. He has been on amoxicillin for 5 days now and I haven’t seen much improvement, except his nose isn’t constantly running. Still has a sore throat and congested head and is very very irritable. Any suggestions?
