Headache around left eye Posted: 04-18-08 05:53am
Does anyone have any advice. I
frequently (2/3 times a week) get
headaches which always seem to be like a
dull ache around the left eye socket. As
the day progresses they normally move to
the left side of my head, but ofen they
remain above my eye.
They seem to be accompanied by intense
hunger or frequently needing to go to the
toilet and pass a stool.
I am getting really fed up with it. I've
been to my local Dr who simply told me to
eat when I am hunger as he thinks that is
a trigger. However when I wake up in the
middle of the night with this kind of pain
it isn't practical to eat as occasionally
it leads to vomitting too.
The only effective treatment is using an
eye bath, accompanied with Anadin (pain
killers), but I have to take at least 4/6
of these in a short space of time to have
any effect and even when I do this
majority of the time they simply dull the
pain for a couple of hours and it returns
more intensely.
I am at my wits end. I am in a vicious
circle of taking pills or having the
headaches.
Anyone got any advice ?

Does this pain start near one eye and
shoot up to the top of the head on that
side?
Is the pain often starting at the same
time each day?
How long does the pain last?
Is this pain sudden and severe,
accompanied with watery eye and runny
nose?

Yes it is normally early hours of the
morning or first thing in the morning.
Yes it does normally begin as a pain round
the eye and then progress to the same side
of my head.
Normally lasts about 6/7 hrs
It can be accompanied by a runny eye or
nose....

Are you experiencing dropping eyelid and
red eye?
Do you feel sweaty, restless, or nauseated
when you have headache attack?
Do you find this pain very severe?
How long is the period of having this kind
of headache?
Have you been waken up from the headache
at night?
