Sharp Pains On Right Side of Head And Eye
Posted: 03-08-06 00:16am

Hi I am 21 yrs old and for the last couple of days I have been experiencing some really bad headaches on the right side of my head. I have really sharp pains and the worst thing is that my right eye hurts a lot!! I also get a really sharp pain on my eye. My eyes feel very tired almost like if they were very heavey. I’m very worried.

The pain gets worse wheneveri move my head fast, mostly forwards or backwards, or walk or when I lean down. I get this severe shooting pain starting on the top right, inside of my head down behind my right eye into the sinuses behind my right nostril.


Please can anyjbody help me. This is not the fistr time it happens. About a year and a half ago I got an mri and cat scan but I had nothing. The doctor told me it was the pituitary gland because I was still developing but this time the pain has gotten a worser? Is it still the same and when will I stop developing? (this might sound like a dumb question)

Barometric Pressure Related Headaches
Posted: 07-27-08 15:17pm

Hello,

I am experiencing something similar to what both of you describe. It is a sharp shooting pain which often starts to appear around my eye and moves to the back of my head until the pain is present in my entire head. If I don't move my head the pain seems to stabilize, but whenever I move my head quickly it is like a shooting pain which makes me feel like my whole brain is going to explode.

I have some other observations:

1. For me it is directly related to changes in Barometric Pressure. It tends to happen particularly if the pressure drops rapidly during the passage of a warm weather front during an increase in humidity. These are the same conditions that lead to rain.

Within the last day the pressure dropped, the humidity rose 40%, and the temperature peaked and is once again dropping. Note that the temperature is approaching the dewpoint (before the rain).

I have it right now, check out the weather conditions:

Data as of: 10:30 PM

* Wind Chill: 19°C
* Humidity: 82%
* Dew Point: 16°C
* Avg Wind: 7 N
* Pressure: 1012.87mbar


2. The headache disappears during/after the rain.

3. The things that help me are:
- drinking massive amounts of coffee
- head massages
- naps
- showers
- more coffee, with sugar!!! Smile


According to one scientific study lead by Dr. Galina Mindlin at the Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia on this subject, there was a definite correlation established between chronic sufferers of headaches and changes in weather patterns.

Other studies as far back as 1981 have confirmed this phenomenon.

Hope this helps!
Daniel
