Head Discomfort was started.
For the past few days I have had an odd feeling in my head. I don't have a headache, but it feels like I am wearing a headband, and I'm not. This evening, it felt like I had a hat on my head, but didn't. I'm not in pain, just uncomfortable.
My eyes also feel strained.
Should I be concerned?
oh, I have this pressure between the eyes and above my left eye.
I cannot get a diagnosis, either.
I have been wondering about a mold infection, neck problems, etc.
Don't know what it is, just that it feels rotten, and is deep pressure. Let me know if you find out anything. Am going to a chiro. now, and had sinus surgery, but did not help.
First of all, keep in mind that I am unable to diagnose you because I am unable to examine you, this forum is for educational purposes.
The symptoms that you describe are consistent with a migraine varient, but other causes should also be examined. Hemicrania continua generally affects only one side of the head and is associated with rhinorhea (nose running), tearing etc. Meningiomas are often benign findings that do not contribute to the patients symptoms. However, when meningiomas are large and/or compress important structures then then can contribute to headaches, cause seizures and other underlying dysfunction. I would recommend that you start on a migraine preventative medication such as elvail, topamax, nadolol etc and a trial of indocin (a strong anti-inflammatory medication). Also stop ALL other medications for pain/headache. Tylenol/ibprofen etc can lead to rebound headaches and are very difficult to treat. I would also recommend that you get an EEG (electroencephalogram-or "brain wave test") to evaluate for seizures. You should have a repeat MRI scan in 6months-1year from your previous one to evaluate for the rate of expansion of your meningioma.
I hope this has been helpful.
