Q: Headaches/eye Problems

asked by: Chris333 on April 30th, 2006

Heya, I was wondering if anyone could help me out on this. Lately i've been getting headaches at the back on my head (back right) that occur almost daily. They are sharp and come and go. Today I had a really strong headache and I got some sleep that seemed to get rid of it. I'm usually healthy and i've never really had headaches before in my life. Also, my eyes feel slightly weird. My vision isn't blurred, but it feels slightly pressured. I really don't know what to think. Has anyone else ever had anything like this? Do you think it's serious?

Thanks in advance! =)

I don't really know what you have but if your eyes feel werid then maybe just should have an eye test to be safe. I know that if you have a headach above your eyes and painfull eyes and blurred vision that is a sign of glaucoma but as your headaches are at the back I don't see it being glaucoma. Sorry I wasn't much help.

Well it's kinda changed now. My eyes are painful at the sides, and sometimes I have trouble focussing on things close up. I still have headaches at the back of my head though.

I am not a Dr. But it does sound like you might need a vision check with also a pressure check. Do you ever get kind of nauseated , do you ever have sinus problem?
Good luck!

I don't feel nauseated and i've never had any sinus problems in the past, but there's a tightness at the front of my head which might be a sinus problem.

I'm just hoping I don't have glaucoma or something

I have reaaally bad problems with headaches.

&it's all because of my glorious uncorrected eye condition.

Astigmatism.

Here's a site I dug up for you to take a look.

You may want to ask your eye doctor about it.

It's easily corrected.

If only I had insurance or could find my glasses!

I guess they can be synonymous, but my girl had headaches and doesnt have good vision either. I convinced her to get lasik eye surgery by paying for one eye when she got the funds for the other. We'll see what happens!

thank you so much for posting this link, I have almost every symptom of astigmatism. I go back to my doctor this wednesday, so I think I will be getting an eye doctor appointment as well.

Thanks again this was really helpful. :)
