See a neurologist as soon as you can, why suffer unnecessarily, they will do an MRI or a CAT scan to rule out any other possibilities, and if its migraine, cluster headaches, stress related headaches, they will gladly help you with something to prevent it, ask them about preventing instead of just something to help the pain, when you have it. I have been on inderal for 8 years for the prevention of migraines, that were horrible, missed alot of time from work and tried different meds for pain, which I was not comfortable with. But with the inderal it has prevented me from having them in the first place. So, please see a neurologist, who is the most qualified to determine the cause of your pain. Hope you get some relief soon. I feel for you, for I have been down the road before. Good Luck.

You evidently have a pretty severe case of inflammation to involve some of the cranial nerves... This will trigger some of the symptoms you relate here. There are a few others you have not mentioned but, are not as likely to cause concern as much as a balance and vertigo problem. You will note that lights seem to be a bit more of a problem also. Perhaps a bit of ringing or hissing in the ears.
When there is this much inflammation, there is or will be an autonomic nervous system involvement. This is evident as dilation of the pupils and the blood vessels. Perhaps a bit of nausea and breathing distress.
Perhaps you need to consider seeing a doctor of Chiropractic and determine what is causing this problem to arise..
Having pain in the back of the head is pretty suggestive of acute tenderness at the base of the skull.. This is the origination of the inflammatory condition. It is highly suggestive of a postural discrepancy, which you can easily determine just by looking in the mirror and detecting a high shoulder, head leaning to one side, one hip higher than the other. One test you can do to help determine where the problem started from (years ago), is to stand with your feet together and looking straight ahead, shut your eyes for a couple moments and determine which way you feel you want to fall. If you let me know the results of that test, I can add a bit more information for you to become aware of.
This is a chronic condition that has finally crossed the line into the acute state. You will find your tolerance level has also been reduced. Have become more susceptible to stress factors.

I'm not going to suggest what you might have to avoid worrying you. But you need to see your doctor right away. If they only prescribe painkillers, demand a second opinion from another doctor.
Also, take with you a list of all of the symptoms, how long this has been affecting you and how it affects you (lack of sleep, poor concentration, inability to do your job, etc.) Your doctor should refer you to a specialist or consultant. They have a duty of care to you when it affects your ability to take care of personal hygiene and other normal duties that define your life like cooking or cleaning your home.
In 1999, I took ill with migraines, spasms, cramps and was off work for over seven months. All my doctor did between 1999 and 2001 was to order blood tests and prescribe an anti-depressant. In the end I made a single private appointment with a specialist (cost about £80 for the private consultation) and that's when I discovered I have a problem with my liver. After that the consultant got me into the healthcare system. I'm still under treatment as it's treatable but not curable.
The important point here is to make the appointment and get the diagnosis, you can figure out how to pay off the fee later.
Good luck!

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information

In the end i went to a chirporactor about three years ago, went 4 times and have never even had a headace since. I was in the same boat, when i stood up i got really dizzy. Anyway, best of luck with it.

A relative of mine used to get problems that began each morning and went all day previously finally ending at approximately 8pm. over the counter analgesic drugs in simple terms toned down the severity of those problems slightly. The physician's analysis in his case replaced into unusual Endogenous melancholy (which i believe skill incredibly as follows: a melancholy brought about by using a chemical imbalance contained in the physique that replaced into reworking itself into daily problems or migraines) and the good information replaced into that it replaced into incredibly taken care of by using the prescribed medicine. another acquaintances of mine have suffered from continual daily Headache. Please your physician on the instant!

sounds like it could be a blood flow problem, you should really get it investigate by a scan because it could be many things and to advise on a specific treatment with out more info is not possible,if you have had any bad falls it could be a misalignment, low blood pressure can do this also.

Go see your doctor right away, it could be a number of things that they can check through blood tests and if it comes to it, cat scans and MRIs.

Go to a sport massage therapyst... a Dr. will only give you pain killers which will only mask the pain, the massage therapyst will FIX the issue (which is most likely muscular). If it's serious he'll know what's going on and refer you to a specialist.
