hello, i'm a female i'm 20 yrs old, i've had headaches for four years now they come and go, mainly because i stay up late i think; but recently i started to have a pressure feeling on the front of the right side of my head right about in the temple area and a little backwards to the middle along with dizziness, my eyes also hurt when i have this, my mouvement also stops when i get it. please advise me because i'm really scared it might be something dangerous.
It sounds like it could be a migraine. It might be worth a visit to your Doctor to see what is going on. Since you think your headaches are due to staying up late, you should probably start going to be earlier to see if that helps. Also, alcohol can cause headaches and migraines so it may be best to stop drinking (if you do).
Cutting out caffeine is probably a good idea too.
Are you getting a healthy, balanced diet, and do you drink plenty of water? If not both of those things can cause headaches, migraines and other issues too.
Also, getting plenty of exercise releases endorphins (or the feel-good hormones) which can also help massively.
Go talk to your PCP. Tell them what you're worried about and I would also get an appt set up to get your eyes check. Not sure what the pressure could be bUT the eye pain could be maybe that you need glasses if you don't already have them. Go get it check out hun the sooner the better!
Thank you victoria for taking the time to reply, i do have eyeglasses, but i don't wear them. But i only have eyeache when the pressure feeling occurs. I'm afraid to go to the doctor and hear some bad news
I know, i should go to the doctor, but im just terrified, concerning alcohol i do not drink i never did. Coffee i actually use it to ease the pain instead of using asprin or doliprane
It is really hard to deal with chronic headache....I would suggest purely as a precaution having a CT scan to check all is well.
