My symptoms are these:
headaches, always above eyes. If I take excedrine the headache dulls but will come back within a few hours.
Here's the tricky part:
if I take a nap for 30 minutes, when I wake up the headache is gone, and usually doesn't come back that day. But it doesn't matter how much sleep I get, I get headaches whether I got 3 hours, or 10 hours of sleep the night before. It also doesn't matter if I close my eyes for 30 minutes, I have to sleep.
Even more tricky, is that I can predict my headaches; because I get them every time I sit around for more than a few hours at a time. I do try and keep busy throughout the day, which keeps me active and healthy, but it really sucks knowing if I want to relax for awhile that I will pay for it by a headache. Even worse is that when I have school, I get headaches everytime, because I sit in the classrooms for hours at a time. I used to think maybe I was straining my eyes staring at the whiteboard, or staring at the computer screen, but I will get my headache sitting on the couch staring at nothing, or if i'm driving for more than a couple hours i'll get one, because i'm just sitting there. And I don't get headaches staring at the computer screens at my job, because it's the kind of job where i'm moving around most of the time.
My diet has changed completely over the last 6 months, and that has not affected my headaches whatsoever. I cut caffiene from my diet, which had no effect. I've tried drinking more water each day. I don't smoke, i'm not overweight, i've never had a sinus infection (that I know of) or any allergies. There are no problems with my vision. Has anyone heard of similar headache symptoms before? I couldn't find anything about it on search engines, and don't have insurance right now, or i'd go to the doctor's office. Thanx for your time.
