Q: sinus infection headache
asked by: kapowkristen on February 7th, 2008

i'm 15. and i've been having headaches or about 2 months now. they've gotten worse and worse each day. My doctor thought it was a sinus infection. But they put me on medication for that, and nothing happened. So they took blood and did a ct scan. They found that i was anemic and there was nothing wrong with the CT scan that they could see, but they werent sure because one of the images got blurred. So they put my on muscle relaxents. Those didnt do anything. there are my syptoms- Confusion. Lose of Memory. Headaches on one side of my head. on a scale of 1-10 its a 10. vison is blurred in my right eye. I dont act like myself. and my neck is always stiff.
Ive looked up about what it could be but didnt really find anything. I mean, the internet is good. But im no doctor.
so, please tell me what could be wrong with me.
Ive been staying home alot because of this and cant even consentrate to do much. I barly could right this without getting angry or forget what im doing. its taken me a while to write this.
so please please please help.

Maybe, because brain tumors can cause various symptoms and they'll mimic different neurological disorders.
Is the headache accompanied with unsteadiness or imbalance?
Have you noticed a gradual loss of movement or sensation in an arm or leg?

On the other side, there is a great possibility, that all of your symptoms are due to anemia.
Frequent headaches are early sign of anemia. Our brain is most vulnerable to deficiency of oxygen and nutritions. Any lowering of oxygen reaching the brain can cause a swelling of the arteries of the area, causing headaches. When blood levels of oxygen in the body fall, nitrous oxide (NO) production is stimulated. It is a normal chemical in body that is important for dilatation of blood vessels and in the brain this results in an increase in pressure which causes headaches (person can be excruciating headaches as the blood vessels in the brain expand to get oxygen to the brain cells)
