What's wrong with me?

About 2 months ago I had a really bad headache that was more pressure than a regular headache, then it all reflected on my neck, so I went to the chiropractor and it felt better and I kept going for a month and a half. Everything seemed fine, but then about a month and a week I got another bad headache which wasn't really bad, but it didn't go away, just flows from low to moderate level. Next, i went back to the chiropractor but this time no relief. So, I went to a regular physician and he told me that it seemed a tension headache because it was my neck and the sides of my head so he prescribed Fioricet, which I take at bedtime. It works great for the night. In the mornings is not bad, sometimes I feel lightheaded or with a little headache than shortly goes away. During the day, I feel mostly fine but then pains start showing on me, my throat starts hurting that I don't even want to talk, it's itchy and feel irritated. Other days my ears starts hurting, actually in front of it toward my cheek and I can feel it connecting to my throat. I even thought I had mumps. It felt like that. I've gone to the doctor and he says that my ears look fine, and my throat is not bad. I am taking antibiotics amoxicilin but I don't feel any difference. Could all these symptoms be related? I mean random head spasms, ear and cheek pain, sore throat so painful and then they all just go away and as fast as they go they come back. One day it can be in my right side the other day it could be in the left one. I don't understand! has anyone experience something like this? Please, I don't even want to go to the doctors since they look at me like I would be telling lies or being crazy.I actually have problems with stress so I don't know if all that can be related, and how bad it can get?

Hi

I suggest that you have a complete assessment with an ENT specialist just to rule out any involvement of the ears, throat and sinuses. One differential here may be a viral infection. Are there any associated eye redness or eye tearing? Any flulike symptoms prior to the onset of the headaches?

Hi,

I suffer from tension headaches. migraines and allergies. You are describing tension headaches and then allergies. Also, sinus problems can cause all of what you describe, I also suffer from that. See an allergist or suggest this to your doctor. Not everything can be solved with anti-biotics and taking them too often will eventually cause them to no tbe effective.
