Left side headache.
by cymm, Oct 26, 2007 06:25AM
I don't no what it is? For the pass several years I have had the same kind of headaches. I have been diagnoise with empty sella syndrome, swollen disc in the c6 and c7 area of my spine,and elavated blood pressure. When I get a headache it is always in the left side of head, central location sort of toward the front area. I have taken several MRI's. The left side of my neck is never relaxed, have a tough time sleeping, and my vision on the left side is more blurred than the right. Also sometimes I can't eat certain foods like creams amd sauces, onions (my favorite), peppers, sugar, cheese, watermelon, tomatoes, etc. the list is long. Pretty soon all I will be able to eat is lettuce (romaine).
What do think, I am 45 yrs old.

I think many factors contribute to your headache. The fact that certain foods trigger your headache, the pain on the one side of head and blurry vision in left eye suggest the possibility of migraine.
At the same time the possibility of headache caused by swollen disc and stiff neck cannot be ruled out. High blood pressure, if uncontrolled can cause headache too.
Please try some neck exercises and neck massage.
Is your BP adequately controlled? Please check your BP regularly and make sure it is controlled.
Please consult a physician about the possibility of migraine. Please avoid all the triggers, it is good thing that you have been able to identify some of them. Hope this helps!
