For the last couple of months, everyday I have been having headaches and sore eyes on and off. My sight is fine, and the headache is usually in the front of my forehead. Anyone know what this could be? I have never had a problem like this before.

If the pains worsens when you bend over, it could be caused by a sinus infection. If it doesn't it's probably eye strain.
Either way, you should see a doctor and get to the bottom of it. If it's sinusitus, he can give you antibiotics to clear it up - or if it's eye strain, he'll recommend an eye exam. Everyday headaches aren't good - especially if your using any kind of pain relief
Life's too short to be in pain everyday, so please get it checked out.

It could be a couple of things.....sinuses or you need to have eyes examined to see how your vision is. It is not only limited to this, but a good place to start. I suggest that you go to your Dr. ASAP so that he can run some test and scans. such as a cat scan hopefully with contrast, because of what is called a AVM....Atrial Venous Malformation....I know 2 ppl who have had this, one is a family member, the other is a child. But it is where blood vessels on the brain basically look like a plate of spaghetti noodles. the family member had surgery to have it removed, and did very well...no problems at all.....the child that I know....her is too deep in her brain to be operated on, and to operate would be certain paralysis. If not operated on, then there is a risk of the blood vessel rupturing, and you will have a larger problem......I am not say this is what you have because I don't know....it can only be found through a cat scan with contrast......but I only want to make you aware.....this AVM thing is becoming more common according to the Drs........But You need to get to your Dr. and let him/her start some test on you.

Yes it sounds exactly like a sinus problem.
Your eyes are sore because there is pressure in your sinuses directly behind your eyes, and that's what's causing your headaches.
Try using an over the counter decongestant.
Onions are great for your sinuses.
Some people can't stand to eat them though, but I love 'em

Have you gone to the doctor or had your eyes checked?
I reciently had an eye exam because my eyes were hurting & I was having awful headaches & I now have to wear glasses just to read & to be on the computer but that was the cause. You may also be having sinus problems!! Go have it checked if you havent already

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 available at

Classic sinus problems. Eyes ache and "headache" where the sinuses are. (Remember the ads for some sinus medication, with triangles around the eyes?)

Could be lots of things. You can look for anything obvious such as, have you been doing a lot more reading lately.
Are you getting overwhelmed with life? Get it together.
Your sight might be fine, but your vision may not be. A lot of people are suprised to find they need glasses.
