For the last 2 weeks i have been experiencing headachs and then it leads to a sharp pain in my left eye and im trying to figure out wether this was a typical migrane pain or something else. This has been going on everyday and if lucky ill get away with the pain and headach but really less often. Sometimes ill wake up in the morning and ill start feeling a light pain in my head and eye then the pain will start to increase and ill run down to have a paracetamol and try to sleep it off but its just too hard to go back asleep becuase i have just woken up from a nap. As im lying down the pain will start trigger in my left eye and the side of my head and this is where i really start struggeling not knowing what to do or where to put my head as i start fidgeting in my bed sometimes with the blanket over my face and then running to the bathroom to wash my face i try curing it. Eventually id lie back down in my bed and my Left eye will start watering really bad and i would just have to try me best to sleep it off. And when i wake up again im ok but wouldnt say 100% and then sometimes it would happen again to me outta the blue in the evening but i get this alot when i wake up in the morning. Can you please advice me what to do as i am on 23 years old and shouldnt be suffering like this becuase usually im mentally and physically very strong.

Thank You!

It sounds like you might have cluster headaches. My friend gets them pretty bad. She told me that when she gets them that it is only on one side of her head and her eyes water and get swelled up and puffy like. She also says that her nose will start running on the same side. She has always had issues with migraine headaches. SHe says that sometimes she will wake up in the morning or from a nap and she will get the headaches.
She went to the doctor and they prescribed her some pain killers and scheduled her to go to the neurologist. She is going next week. I will try to come back and let you know what they said about them.
I would advise you to go to your doctor and tell him about the headaches you are having.
