Headache Behind Eye and Down Spine

Been wondering what these are/how/why they are caused.
Been having these headaches since 4th grade(got held back in 1st due to late birthday), and i am 22.5 now. 2-5 times a week lasting 2hours to 5 days. Symptoms are One side of my head ( left or right eye) will burn and pulsate and all the way down my spine ( neck and back ) will burn and hurt severely like ive been hit by a truck the entire time. Light hurts, sound hurts, movement hurts, speaking hurts, laying down hurts, standing up hurts ( only thing that helps sit sitting down in a chair/couch ). Also today i had an odd pulsating pain Under my eye about 2 fingertips below my eye which has never ever happened before. I do remember a dentist saying that it was really bad if that happened i dont remember why though.

if possible i would like to know the answer to these/this question too tired right now to know if i asked 1 or several questions since its 4am and the damn headache is keeping me up. Also ill wake up some mornings with it, or it will just creep up on me during the day. Theres more to the headache but i cant put it into words right now the back and neck pain is about as bad as the headache, and they have been bad enough in the past to make me cry in pain. i get them ALOT i thought mabye it was due to caffeine which i had quit completely and i still get them ( been caffeineless for a year )

thanks ill be hitting refresh every 5ish mins till i pass out hopeing for an answer.

Hi,

This sounds like a severe episode of migraine. When was the last time you sought consult with your physician?

I suggest you have your headaches checked and classified. Migraines are usually associated with a throbbing severe pain that may involve nausea, vomiting, pain to light touch,sensitivity to light and sounds and may be debilitating enough to prevent you from continuing with your daily activities.Migraines may disrupt sleep and may lead to anxiety and depression due to the pain.

Have your consult done.Discuss with your physician the use of migraine specific drugs and see if this will relieve the symptoms. Have you been taking analgesics ?

Keep us posted.Good Luck!
