Headache not Relieved for 14 Months Posted: 06-30-06 19:24pm
Hi,
for about 14 months i have been having 1
big headache. It has never disappeared,
not once in those 14 months. It feels like
a throbbing/pulsating in my head to the
rhythm of my heartbeat. I have had a dozen
tests including head/soft neck tissue MRI
+ head CT, all of which have come back
negative. My doctors say it's anxiety,
however, i am still convinced that there
is something else wrong.
I recommend you check your vision (eye
examination). Refractory anomalies are
common for your age and one of their
manifestations, besides disturbed vision,
are headaches. An eye examination can
provide information about possible causes
for your symptoms. If everything is OK,
however, you can consult a psychiatrist or
another mental health professional to
explore possible psycho-somatic causes of
these symptoms.
