Why i keep having headaches after my flu ?

[zugz]

hi all ,

i have been recently ( past 2-3 weeks ) been having headaches on and off , very painful sometimes in the noon time when the sun is very bright and hot ( I live in a tropical country )

I am very worried if I might have some tumour im only 29 years old .

the pain is usually on the top of my head and I can "feel" my brain when I shake my head , if anyone knows what I mean .

sometimes the pain would go away after sleep . my neck also feels very stiff ....

anyone can pls advise  what I should do  ? MRI Scan or Xray ? what could it be ?

so worried .

Try another doctor - or another kind - like ENT. Sounds like your doc is busy - and is not paying attention.

my stupid doctor keeps saying that its nothing  most likely side effects of flu and stuff and after effects but my flu has already gone for more then 8 weeks !!!!

That is up to the doctor - why not see him first and let him decide?

i forgot to mention that i feel light headed almost everyday ( the feeling like u losing balance ) u get that when u are having flu / fever ...

i m very very worried , should i Do an MRI scan ???

There could be eye pressure - glaucumo type things which your eye sight can be perfect but your eyes are not - or optic nerve issues. Plus they are just good with headaches too - and may pick up stuff that is slight. That is why an eye doc may not be a bad idea.

There is no harm is going to a doc and telling them you have had a headache for 8 weeks - get an exam. Sinus infections can persist for a long time.

Go back and see the doctor. It could be that you still have residual infection.

Have you seen an eye doc recently?
