please help, dont know what this could be, starting to get really annoying.?

Question

i have had like this huge headache in the lower back part of my head or so for the last 2 days hasnt gone away, i havent been catching up on my sleep so i figured it was lack of sleep so last night i went to bed a few hours early to get some extra snooze time in (11 hours) part of it has died down but its still there and really annoying...

also just yesterday my vision was fine but now i woke up today and noticed even with my glasses on things were kinda blurry.


dont know if these 2 things are related, but yeah.

any suggestions to what this might be, and/or how to make the headache go away?
i am male, 13.

judging from your answers i think im making it sound worse then it is...

Answer 1

sounds like it COULD be a migraine. get to the doctor and have it checked out.

Answer 2

This may sound silly, but you may be dehydrated. In this day and time when everyone is drinking mega soft drinks (read into this coffee, tea, energy drinks), most Americans are suffering from dehydration. Headaches in the back of the head and going into the neck is one of the first symptoms. Blurry vision is another.

Drink a pint of water in thirty minutes. In the next hour, drink another pint. If the headache begins to subside, and the vision begins to clear, you are on the right path. If you accomplish nothing more than several trips to the bathroom, you probably need to visit a doctor.

Did you tell ur parents? I'm sure they would help. maybe you should see a doctor. try to relax and get more snooze. try to take naps. lay down for most of the day and if you have homework, do it in bed or something, unles you know you can't work in bed. The fact that the little snooze has helped is a good sign. As for your vision, I think it has to do with your headache.

If ur not 13 like I think u said u were, then this probably won't help
Good luck, hope u get better soon!

Answer 4

From the location it sounds like a tension headache to me. If you're 13 it might just be changing hormones. I got migraines all the time at that age and I always get vision changes with those(called a migraine with aura). If it keeps up, I'd see a doctor though to make sure it's not something more serious.

Answer 5

if this persist you need to it checked... but if you are getting blurred vision, you need to get this checked out soon. this could be happening because of lack of sleep,,, you mention that you were going to catch up n your sleep... you can never catch up on sleep,,, when you do miss alot of sleep, then you go and sleep for s long time ,,, usually when you wake up you fill lousy... not saying you have ,,,, but have you tried useing any drugs ,, this could have a strong effect on you body....
and again you said you were 13 years old,,, well you are going through a stage og growing a lot right now,, there are some tremoundus changes takeing place in your body... don't worry about it, you will be ok.. sit down relax , watch a good movie , eat a pizza, put your feet up ,, and just relax for a couple of days.. you will be fine... have a nice day ,, and remember ,,, always keep a smile on your face , because it makes others wonder what you have been up to...... have a good one

Answer 6

I've had exactly the same symptoms as you describe. Fortunately for me, my brother is a health fanatic and he recommended that I try a product called "Emer'gen-C". It worked perfectly within minutes! Emer'gen-C is nothing more than a powdered mixture of particular vitamins and can be taken by anyone. It comes in little packets and you just mix a packet with water. It fizzes up for a few seconds. Stir and drink. It is available in 3 or 4 flavors (I prefer the Tangerine flavor). Your local grocery store probably carries it. If not then any health food store carries it.
If the Emer'gen-C doesn't work then perhaps you should talk to a
doctor.
Good luck!

Answer 7

For sure, it is NOT a migraine. They are no where near that area. Tension headaches are usually in the back of the skull near the neck, but they are notorious for being at their worse when you wake up. Maybe, be sure you are not doing a new exercise, or using a new lamp, or pillow, or changing the position of the seat in the car. If rest and relaxation don't help, you better see a doc.

Answer 8

It could be a migraine. Could be headaches brought on by hormone changes, could be your eyes. Any time someone has a new onset of severe headache, they should definitely be evaluated by a doctor. I have bad headaches in the back of my head, and was diagnosed with a mild chiari malformation. Talk to your parents about your symptoms and see a doctor.
Good Luck

Answer 9

Tell your parents about this problem and get checked out by a doctor. A lot of it will depend on what kind of headache it is and what it is caused by. Unfortunately by your description, it can be something as simple as tension headaches to migraines or can be something ominous and dangerous.

Answer 10

I think it's stress. Headaches and blurriness happen to me too if I stay up 'till one for several days in a row.

What works for me is drinking water, and sleeping properly for a few days. Dehydration causes headaches, too.

Answer 11

It sounds like stress or tension headache. Try placing an ice pack on it for twenty minutes, than off for twenty, on for twenty. It sounds stupid but it works. Usually mine went away without having to go for the second round.
