Expert's Opinion
Honestly speaking, I have told you all the possibilities that I knew from my limited knowledge. Somehow, you really have to manage to visit a doctor. Searching from the internet and my opinion are not good enough. That is too big a risk you are taking. If it is absolutely impossible for you to go to the doctor, well, you can try out some meditation but that will probably deal with the psychological aspect of the problem not the physical one. Best of luck.

Help !!
I have an eye problem. This started about a month ago. I was diagnosed with an infection and prescribed eye drops. I took the eye drops for a week and the infection cleared up. The dr. said ok to stop. I woke up the next morning and it started back way worse. I went to a specialist and he prescribed me a steroid med eye drop. I took it for a day and woke up the next day with a massive swollen white part in my eye. I also had a blister like think under the clear coating in my eye. I went back to the specialist and they diagnosed me with episcleritis. I came home looked at all the pics of it and it did not look like what i had. Well I continue to take the new improved meds and have been going strong for about 22.5 weeks. Pred Forte every hour. I have massive pressure in my head so they told me to take mucinex maybe caused by sinus infection. They also gave me an oral antibiotic to clear it up. It again has now been a week and yesterday started to clear up. We last night had an excrusiating headache. I almost called 911. I took excedrin migrane and it helped. I normally helps for about 12 hours. My conditions seems to now be getting worse again. eye itchy and swollen. vsion blurry again. and severe severe headacches now only behind left eye. Any other suggestions people. I am so tired of the thing. I just want it to go away. I need to get a ct scan done on Monday that I put off last week caue it was clearing up.

Headaches behind right eye.
I have headaches that are behind my right eye. When they wake me up, unfortunately there is nothing that will help with the pain. If I feel one coming on during the day, ibuprofen seems to help. (I used to take Tylenol and Tylenol Sinus).
Sometimes what helps a little bit with the behind the eye socket headaches that wake me up is a cocktail of ibuprofen and a tylenol sinus.
I have one of these headaches right now, and I'd love to take a hot spoon and dig out this damned eye!
By the way, the Neurologist told me they are Cluster Headaches.

migranes
I wake up frequently with headaches which most the time are behind my left eye. My family has history of migranes and I assume that is what my problem is. I have a headache almost everyday, maybe not a migrane but a daily headache and it is very bothersome. I do wish there was a cure for them. I don't have insurance or the money to go to the doctor so I am pretty much stuck with the problem. For those who can go to the doctor, my mother gets something for her migranes called maxalt, and they are wonderful. I would suggest asking your doctor about them.
