I am a 23 year old male in decent shape, I
am not overweight or anything like that.
The past 5 days I have been getting these
headaches and pain in both eyes. The
headaches or eye pain are not constant and
come and go at least twice and hour. When
I wake up usually I have the eye pain but
I drop in some moisturising eye drops
(bought them over the counter) and the
pain goes away.
The eye pain is a weird pain. Its like its
behind the eyeball. The eye pain is not
there all the time with the head pain.
Sometimes the pain is felt behind the eye
and sometimes they sting.
I have large optic disks but they are
normal. I have been assured twice by my
optimetrist and 2 doctors have said thy
look normal. They said if there was eye
pressure I would have optic disks that are
jagged but mine are clean cut around the
edges. My optimetrist has said they are
normal aswell. I was born with large
disks.
The head pain can be on one side of the
head or both. Its a dull pain, like a
pressing pain but it isn't sharp. The pain
usually goes from the side of my head down
to the top of my neck.
I had an emergency appointment at the
doctors today because I was really worried
and he checked my eyes and asked me to
describe my symptoms and said he is not
worried. He said I have no symptoms to
point to anything serious and he thinks
they are just headaches.
I am confused and it stresses me out.
Recently I stopped drinking tea and pop. I
have been drinking tea and coffee ever
since I was 10 years old. I am only
drinking water and pomegranette juice. I
am not sure if it could be withdraw
symptoms but didn't know they can cause
eye pain.
I also recently had trouble having bowel
movements but I modified my diet and that
seemed to help.
Whilst I am on the subject I have drop
foot because of a trapped nerve in my
foot. It caused me to fall over today, but
I am not sure if thats anything to do with
it. I was worried it could be MS.
Anyway. Anyone had these headaches with
the eye pain? And how did you get rid of
them? My doctor didn't even give me
medication! I can't take tablts anyway so
I am not to bothered, but still.
