What might be wrong?

     For several years now I have had severe headaches that come and go,staying days at a time.No matter what I take to get rid of them,nothing helps.I've been to a few doctors and one said it's all in my head,like Its really not hurting.So I got another doctor or two and they really never took the time to run all the test and nothing more said.I had one Doctor gave me a medication call Bueturel                    And it help quit a bit but still they never went completely away.
      
     When my head starts hurting its in the middle of my head and sometimes in the forehead and then I get a pain in my neck and my face or one side of my body will all go numb also my head will go numb.Just the other day and last night my vision was blurred out when it happened(when I went numb) Sometimes my face will feel funny all day.I'm afraid I might have a brain tumor or one laying somewhere in my neck or even a brain tumor.I'm going to the Doctor again today to see what this Doctor will do because I feel tired all the time now,right after I get the numbness and the pain It's like it drains  me.
      
      Please tell me what you think this might be.I just don't feel right.

Hi,

How are you?
Headache with pain and numbness in one side of the body and face along with blurry vision raises the suspicion of migraine.
Other causes can be a TIA or transient ischemic attack or stroke and brain aneurysm. A brain tumor is also a possibility although it causes progressive deterioration of neurological functions.
Please get a MRI or CT scan of the brain done as soon as possible to make the diagnosis.
Do keep us posted!

Have you had a  a CT scan or MRI of your brain done.  The MRI is the best possible test that can be done.  Also, try to start keeping a diary of the food that you and drink prior to your headaches.  This will help you in determining if you have food allergies that trigger you headaches.  I have gone through this, believe me you are not alone.  If one doctor doubts you then go to another.  Ask a doctor to order a MRI.  Severe headaches do cause fatigue.  And sometimes the blurred visions is the warning sign of a headache that is yet to come.
