Answer 2

It could be a migrain but the most common cause of head aches is dehydration. I used to get horrible, I mean horrible headaches and then I started drinking more water and they went away. Drink 6-8 glasses every day, wait a few days and if you still get headaches see a doctor, if not, you know that was it.

Answer 3

Check this out with serious consideration. This will usually at least help if it doesn't take care of your condition(s) all together like it did for me! Have you tried a Chiropractor for help? You can have undetected nerve compression, it can cause almost any kind health problems from immune disorders to asthma to depression to acid reflex to migraines to allergies even organ failure. Try having your spine examined by a good chiropractor that believes in the power of our central nervous system. Your brain controls every cell and part of your body threw nerve transmissions and if nerves are compressed your body will start to malfunction due to the lack of nerve impulses. Your central nervous system as well as the American diet has a lot to do with the conditions that people suffer from. Most doctors don't even understand our central nervous system therefore they don't know how to properly address conditions with out medications (with a 101 possible side effects) when nerve compression could be the root cause. For eight years I was suicidally hopeless with three young kids, no doctors out of many had a clue as to what was wrong with me and suggested that I was mental because of the many health problems afflicting me. I know the power our central nervous system because I was set free from chronic nerve pain (stinging, stabbing, burning, itching from my eyeballs to my rib cage to my head to toes, literally!) that was all over my body as well as many other health problems after my spine was treated from a good Chiropractor (his goal was to straighten my spine) without medications. Stretching my spine on an inversion table helped the most for me ( Three times a day for about a month I forced my spine to stretch. My spine pop loudly several different times and three weeks later most of my crazy symptoms started going away while nothing else help!). Oil base B-vitamins also helped a lot, there good for nerve transmissions. A lot of problems are also do to vitamin and mineral deficiency problems that doctors are unaware of. Acupuncture believe it or not works wonders for a lot of people too. Just remember it takes time and consistency when going the natural way but has far greater rewards than other methods so don't give up or get discouraged, just be consistent! You will never know what may help if you don't approach your situation with an optimistic open mind and be willing try new things like natural alternatives which has given me my life back when doctors were careless and clueless. Don't ever give up hope, pray for God's guidance and he will help you find the answers as he did for me(when nobody else could), sometimes you have to find your own cure, it's out there just keep searching! Although it might be your spine. I wish I had enough room to tell you my whole personal story! God bless.

Answer 5

I used to have similar headaches with the eye swelling, went to an Ear,Nose and Throat specialist and it turned out to be blocked sinuses, a one day operation cleared the problem, but I would go to a specialist.

Answer 6

Could be migraines, they often occur around one eye and one side of the head. I find the nurofen migraine pain tablets are very good.

This is called neuralgia, and is very painful. Speak to your doctor about it as there are certain medications for it.
