Tension, Sinus Or Glasses Prescription? Posted: 03-08-06 13:04pm
Hi everyone! I'm new here and want to
know if anyone has experienced what I am
right now. My headache started out as
feeling like a tension headache, just woke
up with it one sat. Morning. Had it for
a week, til Dr. Gave me shot of demerol,
knocked it out in two days. Good for one
week, then it came back. This time for
two weeks. I do get migraine with aura
but this does not feel like that. Tried
relpax, maxalt, vicodin and midrin.
Currently taking amitriptyline (sp?). I
have had the best sleep since I was a
teenager on this med, but still have
headache. Changed from tension to above
forhead. Sore to the touch. Seems to
get worse as the day goes on and the more
I focus on one thing, i.E. Computer,
reading...Etc....Thinking maybe eye
prescription has changed. I'm going to
eye Dr. Tomorrow and for mri on friday.
Any advice or wisdom???Sorry this is so
long. Thanks for reading.

Hi:
if I had to guess, I would probably think
that you wre having sinus problems. I
was very concerned about headaches I had
been having everday for about three weeks.
I am 20 and never have had hardly a
headache in my life so I was very worried.
But it turned out that I have sinusitis
from a cold I had a few weeks before.
And it was just like you described. It
was in my forehead, and felt like pressure
in my head. Now my cheeks are kinda sore
to touch since the infection is in the
sinuses in my cheek. You have sinuses
all over in your cheeks around your nose,
by your eyes, and in your forehead. It
can be treated with antibiotics and some
other stuff and usually isn't too bad of a
deal unless it becomes chronic, even then
it is usually correctable. I hope this
helps. Try not to worry too much. Good
luck with everything!
