Pain Behind My Eye Posted: 05-14-04 04:46am
Hey,
i wonder if anyone else gets a pain behind
one eye. It's not the same pain as
others I seen write about on here ie the
sharp pain. It's a constant, terrible
pain, like a pressure that builds up, that
can last anything up to 2 days. Nothing
imparticular brings it on and I feel I can
relive it by pressing on my eye.
It's being happening to me a few years now
and about 2 years ago I thought I had got
to the bottom of it when the optometrist
found scars behind that eye imparticular.
But after being sent to a specialist I
was told that could not be causing the
pain. Anybody know??

Hi,
i, too, get headaches behind my eye. Did
you ever find out anything about this? I
think I have been having the problem going
on two or three years. I get the
headaches every now and then and have no
idea what is triggering it. The pain is
intense, and it does seem to help when I
press on my eye/eyebrow. I become
sensitive to light and sound. Nothing I
take helps. I'd love to know if you have
come across any info about your eye
headaches! It sounds just like mine.
Thanks,
melissa

Melissa,
about 2 years ago I went to the optician
and although I did not need glasses he
found scars behind my eye and I was sent
to the hospital. But they said they
wouldnt cause headaches and not to worry.
I just find it strange how it's in the
same eye. I try to stay clear of things
like make up that might trigger it, so I
thought it might be allergies but now it
happens if I go somewhere like the cinema
and my vision goes really blurry for a
while.
I've just learned to carry painkillers
with me always and except that im just
prone to migraines over one eye lol
i havent a clue why
love sooz

I get the same thing ever since I can
remember I have been getting headaches
like that and the only way to stop the
pain is to apply pressure to the area
around the eye. As a matter of fact I
have one now.

What about your blood pressure and anxiety
and sinuses? I am no Dr., but sometimes
if I lay down in a dark quiet room, no
t.V. Or any noise and try to take some
slow deep breaths it helps, with a cool
wash rag across my eyes, have you had your
eyes checked lately but you might talk
this over with your physician.
Sincerely,
sandy

Hi othepain, I am no Dr. But it seems to
me that you might be lactose intolerant I
work for some people who are this way as
well as a lot of others that have this
situation, a lot of people I know that
have this, swear by lactaid, don't worry,
I am not a salesperson for this, I only
know what I hear, it is not cheap but it
might be worth it. Let us know, their is
some info on it on the internet! Check
with the Dr. And pharmacist too, it is an
over-the-counter med. Hope I have
helped.
Sincerely,
sandy

Sandy,
yeah it certainly doesnt help prevent my
headaches if im stressed out. I hate
taking pinakillers so much. So I try to
sleep it off, but it can last for days.
The doctors dont have a clue lol oh well

Suzi, I don't know if you still come in
here or not, but what you have sounds like
what my son gets. They are called
cluster headaches and they are always
behind one eye. I'm surprised your
doctors have never heard of them since
they are a cousin to migranes. My son
sees a neuroligist, that is how I found
out. The best treatment is to lay down in
a dark room and sleep it off if you can.
I'm sorry to hear that you have them since
I know how much my son suffers when they
happen. He is adhd and has tourettes.
Good luck! :d lolli

Hey lolli,
yeah the doctors have suggested cluster
headaches. When I get them I naturally
really tired anyway so I do go to sleep
for ages and I can sleep well into the
next day. But 9 times out of 10 I wake up
and it's worse. But your probably right.
Thanks for the advice

milk products can increase your congestion
level because they cause your body to
produce excess mucus. This is normal and
not just in people who are lactose
intolerant. It might be that in your
case it is causing excess sinus
pressure.
I get the pains behind the eye too.. It
feels like someone is stabbing me in the
head.

just something from experience,
i get freq migraine due to lack of
sleep/irregular sleeping hours as well as
sinus problem.
sleeping for long hours late into the day
doesn't seem to cure headache at all. in
fact, i'm always more tired, the
headache's ends up worse.
It seems, it's more effective to bear with
de pain then go to bed sometime right
after sun sets. Always results in me
waking up early in the morning feeling
fresh, headache gone.
If your headache is due to lack of sleep
or irregular sleeping hours, it also seems
to help to eat less fried food, drink more
water and take more fruits. Something to
do with heatiness i think.
