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.

ps:to answer your questions,
Do you have headaches daily for 2 months
or you get attacks of headaches with
headache free period in between? -the
headache NEVER goes away.
Is it always a one side headache? the
pain is mostly on the right side of my
head, but it hurts a bit on the left.
Do you get the worse headaches in the
morning? my headaches arnt worse in the
morning they just get worse gradually.
Is the headache preceded and/or
accompanied with blurred vision,
confusion, loss of memory? its
accompanied.

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)
