Usually i don't get like this but i'll
start from the beginning. I don't usually
get headaches, especially ones that last a
while. I've been having these headaches
for the past 2 weeks. But the aches only
occur on the right side of my head, around
the temple area. Lately it's moved to the
top eyebrow area of my right eye.
Now it's not a constant headache, it just
occurs from time to time but it's been
persistent for 2 weeks and that's never
happened to me before. Also, i dunno why
but i just feel...weird. I don't want to
commit myself and say that i feel a
pressure in my head but i just feel
something there. Like an awareness of
sensation...I dunno if i'm jumping to
conclusions, but reading up on symptoms of
brain tumours i think i may've either
scared myself or i dunno...
I've scheduled an appointment with my GP
but i'm still concerned i guess...Do i
have a right to be?

Hey,
I read your post and i just wanted to let
you know, I have been suffering from the
exact (and i mean exact) same kinds of
headaches you are describing for almost
two years now. Out of nowhere, I'll
gradually get this headache centered
around my right eye (eyebrow especially)
that doesn't make me nauseous or light
headed or anything, it just hurts. I'm a
huge hypochondriac, and I would read about
brain tumors and scare myself so bad that
I would have panic attacks.
Eventually I couldn't take it anymore and
I got a CAT scan done, which found
nothing. I saw about 4 different doctors
who told me not to worry; what made me
feel better, and what should make you feel
a little better, is that there are a lot
of bad symptoms other than headaches that
are tell-tale of brain tumors (and i'm
guessing you're not having anything else
strange other than headaches) such as
vomiting, dizziness, loss of sensation in
limbs, etc.
To make yourself feel better, I would say
definitely go to a doctor, you have every
right to be concerned about your own body.
But I just wanted to tell you I have been
having that same kind of headache (comes
and goes like you said) for almost two
years now and I'm fine. Excedrin Migraine
has helped me tremendously when I get
them.
Anyway, good luck, and don't be too scared
-- you're not alone with those headaches.
try not to be scared until someone takes a
pic of your head inside and says there is
something to worry about. I have had 1
continueous headache,neck,rtarm pain,along
with nausia and vomiting for over 3 years
now as well as numbs going down my rt side
sometimes just rt side of head other times
all they way to my toes. I get sharp pains
behind both ears just a little back from
the temple and the sharp pain comes every
15-30 seconds and is very deblitating. I
stay in bed most days am on fentanyl for
the pain. the only thing that helps some
what with pain is nerve burns and only
forabout 3 months at most and the
procedure is very painful and each time
for me seems to get worse. but mind
happened as a result of a car accident and
that I damaged the stablizers in my neck
and they did not find this out until 6
months after the accident when the soft
tissue damage they said would heal. Do you
have any ringing in your ears? sometimes i
was told an inner ear problem can effect
you that way. Sorry if i am worring you
more do not mean to but what my whole
point is that eventually you will find
yourself adjusting yourself to deal with
these headaches. let me know what happens.
i wil be praying for you

Get It Checked Out Posted: 07-31-07 15:09pm
until you've had a scan it will be hard to
discover what the CAUSE of the ehadaches
are. Hopefully there is no problem with
the brain itself, it could be caused bu a
number of other problems.
1. Too much caffeine or tannins
2. Too much Sugar or products containing
sugar
3. A preservative (check a preservative
book) lots of them cause headaches that
sound like yours (sheck which no. it is)
and then eliminate it from your diet. If
you still have the headaches after a few
weeks, keep searching for the cause
4. Dehydration: your brain is primarily
made up of water and it uses
hydroelectricity to send messages
throughout the body. When your dehydrated
your brain shrinks and it hurts (causing
headaches) you need to drink .137mls per
1kg of body weight (AS A MINIMUM DAILY
AMOUNT) eg if you weigh 60kgs you need to
drink = 8 x 250ml glasses of water daily.
5. Cervicle Spine (neck region) may be
out, a nerve may be pinched and causing
these headaches
There are other factors, but hopefully
this has been some help
I have had scans on my head they have
found nothing. I just had a CT scan on my
neck and my stablizers are damaged. They
only way to fix them is surgery. Except no
here inWinnipeg will attempt the surgery
or so I have been told. To many things
ther like my sight, touch, my use of limbs
so one wrong oops and I could be even more
damaged. Anyone know of a neuro surgeon I
could talk to or see about neck surgery.
Do not care where I can not live in this
pain anymore. Pain level sitting at 8
right now and I know by the end of August
it will be back to 10+++ and waiting for
my nerve burns that help some they bring
the painlevel down to 4-5 and then the
nerve grow back and so far each time they
have come back worse than the time before.
Also the nerve burns are hurting worse
each time as well.
Any advice on this would be great.
