For the past week I have been experiencing
these wild head pains on each side of my
head around my temples and about 3 inches
back on each side.I have been waking up in
the mornings with these uncontrolable
headaches then around noon they are
completely gone.Its the same thing every
morning.There are no other symptoms.I was
to my Family Dr back in April for stabbing
pains in my head he said they were called
Ice Pick headaches and prescribed for me
an anti-inflamitory called indomethacin
could it be my ice pick headaches or
something else?? Please help me I am
worried it may be something serious like a
brain tumor or something!!!
If you had brain tumor you would have
other symptoms in addition to a headache.
You can check your eyes (vizus, campus,
eye pressure and eye bottom) and sinuses
first as possible causes for your pain.
Measuring blood pressure and performing
standard blood analyses might also
identify possible points of origin for
these headaches. A brain tumor can be
excluded only with a CT-scan. If all
analyses are OK, your headache is probably
psycho-emotionally conditioned.
