Has anyone ever experienced this? Does anyone know what is wrong with me? I fear it may be a ruptured aneurysm, since my mom had a lot of aneurysms in her brain, but I don't know if it is hereditary or not.
Okay, so I'm going to tell you everything that has occurred in the past 2 months, since I don't know what information is important.
The first the that happened was my left eye swelled shut out of nowhere. It remained like that for about a week. Then when the swelling finally went down, I noticed a lump on my top eyelid and the eyelid was still puffy. ( I still have the lump on the eyelid and the puffiness 2 months later.)
Then about 1 weeks after that, I had pain in and around my right ear. A couple days after that, the pain expanded to my right jaw. It hurt to eat anything. That lasted about half a week, then vanished. Nothing happened for about a week, then I noticed the same ear and jaw pain, but on the LEFT side of my face. That shortly disappeared.
Then, about 3 weeks ago, I got these sudden severe head pains on the LEFT side of my forehead, about 2 inches apart. I'm not calling them headaches because the are not continuous. They come and go. I have many, many, many of these pains several times a day, everyday. I still do. They are worse when I stand up or bend over. A hot shower helps yet the pain comes back right after I get out. In fact, I'm still getting dressed when they do. Then today, I noticed the eye right underneath the head pains (the one with the lump on the eyelid) was red on the lower half. There is no discomfort or itchiness with the redness, So I don't know if that even has anything to do with the head pains.
I am an 18 year old female. I also have Visual Snow Syndrome. Had it since I was little. That doesn't come or go either. It stays. In fact, I thought it was normal until I talked to a friend about it. So I looked it up and found the name. I have never been checked out by a doctor. I mean never. I live in a very poor family. So going to the doctors is not an option without money. Do not say "It's a migraine, you just need to rest."
I have experienced migraines before and know that these head pains are 10x worse. Thanks for helping. I need all the help I can get.
Oh, and I also suffer from Initial Insomnia. Have been since last October.
