What could be wrong with me?!
Question: What could be wrong with me?
My symptoms are:
- Lately, I've been getting pretty huge headaches. They aren't like the 'normal' headaches. They are more severe, like Migraines. Medicines like Tylenol and Advil don't work for these headaches. And the pain is mainly behind my eyes, like a sort of pressure. And in my temples (Mainly my right side).
- These headaches also cause my eyes to hurt (Mainly my right one). Sort of like there is a pressure in them, and it drives me insane.
- My eyes hurting resorts to my vision becoming slightly blurry. Not like blurry to where I can't see anything, but still blurry. I can still read when my vision gets blurry like this, and I can make out faces of the people on tv just fine, but it's slightly blurry.
- I get dizzy sometimes. Not REALLY dizzy, but that kind of dizzy feeling that you get when you get up too fast.
- My throat hurts a lot. Mainly when I wake up in the morning, and before I go to bed. Sometimes during the day as well.
- My right ear hurts and sometimes it sounds like i'm losing hearing in it, but then it goes back to normal after a while.
Those are really the only symptoms I'm suffering from right now. but what could be wrong? I don't wear glasses. perhaps I should have my eyes checked to see if I need to START? Could it be something more serious? Could I have a brain tumor? What could be wrong? Thank you in advance to anyone who answers me with serious answers.
Answers:
Sounds like it could very well be allergies. I highly doubt it is a brain tumor, I wouldn't worry about that unless you have seizures and things like that. If it gets worse you could have your doctor run tests on you just to be on the safe side. But i'm almost positive it's allergies, seeing as I've been and still go through the same thing. :)
Allergies?
Those "huge" headaches are called migraines and migraines can cause eyes to hurt and become blurry. Migraines can be triggered by allergies. I get the rest of those symptoms too and I just chalk it up to allergies and/or lack of water and/or lack of sleep.
Migraines. Try excederin. The sore throat, you probably snore, or have postnasal drip. Doesn't sound connected.
It could be sinus problems, sounds weird but I had chronic sinusitis and that sounds similar to how I felt sometimes.
first of all, migraines are not diagnosed by intensity of pain, they are a completely different type of headache. There are migraines that have no pain with them at all. Would of been nice to know how old you are for this next part. Many people know that your nose, and throat are connected, what most people don't know is that your ears are also connected along this same path. That could be a bug, or perhaps a virus. I would consult a headache specialist, perhaps a neurologist. Worst case scenario, a brain tumor pushing on your optic nerve... 15 years old.. ohh. it is very very very unlikely that its a tumor, don't scare yourself. you'll be fine. :)
It sounds like allergies to me. You are hurting around your sinus area, if you have a sinus infection (caused by allergies) it could cause all your symptoms. Also the dizziness could be an inner ear infection. Your inner ear it what keeps you balanced. If it gets messed up, then you will feel dizzy. Throat hurting goes right along with allergies. Post Nasal drip down the back of your throat will give you a sore throat.
Your right ear hurting sounds like an ear infection. Stopped up ears can make your ear hurt and make you lose some of your hearing. It does this by infection building up behind your ear drum and keeping it from vibrating, which is what allows you to hear.
You need to see a doctor, but you might want to go get you some allergy/sinus medicine, one with a decongestant. See if that doesn't help a lot.
This won't get rid of infections but will get rid of what caused them in the first place.
