Frequent head aches which invole a sore eye

doctor evil

I`m not looking for medical advice or anything I`m just curious.

For the past while I have been getting head aches just behind the forehead. Also either one of my eyes have been quite painful, predominantly the left. I thought perhaps not drinking enough water was causing it so I`m increase my intake. I don`t smoke and rarely drink. At college and home I do spend time in front of the computer, perhaps that is causing it, the sore eye predates using computers really. Maybe I should get my eyes tested?.

Cheers if you have gotten this far.

Definitely get your eyes tested, you might have eyestrain or need glasses.

It could just be a tension headache - when I get them I get stabbing pains behind my eyeballs.

I used to get these, same symptoms. Turned out to be blocked sinus...

Go to doctor whenever you have symptoms that won't go away or keep recurring.

Could be a migraine.

Really?, do you mind me asking how they fixed it. I`ve never considered my sinuses, not too sure what they are!:o .


I`m certain its not a migraine as my sister gets absolute killer ones. I`m still functional but just feel like cr*p and may want to hide in bed, hhmmm?

So even though you *didn't ask for medical advice, you're getting diagnoses thrown about left right and centre like jellybabies.

Go to a doctor, who'll be in more of a position to make a diagnosis having taken a full history, done an examination and not forgetting his/her 12+ years experience in the medical field (which is about 12+ more years than most, if not all the people who've posted on this thread).
