headache severe cronic associated with stomach bowel movement

My son has associated head ache only in one region above the eye lid in the forehead which comes when ever he has gastric stomach disorder and strong belching and also one nose gets blocked.
It takes 30 minutes for the headache to go after bowel movement. Endoscopy was done and has shown no bad results only mild bacteria and medicine penta acid was suggested. The problem still remains. Advise remedy.

Now this is totally out of my area but I'd just like to give a share of an experience. I hope you don't mind.

My ex husband had a high bloodpressure. I thought perhaps it was the hypertension that caused his headache and a deep sting in his eyes, but just recently he went to an optician and the say was: The eye-problem caused so much stress on his entire system that it elevated his bloodpressure. He constantly tried to focus as he was reading, walking etc. Some situations worsened the headache as the muscles around the eyes were already exhausted.

So here's my question: Could it be that your son's headaches are related to eyesight and focus?

I wish him all well and good luck ahead :)

Perhaps trying other forums too can be helpful and give you great advice?

I am sorry your son is suffering like that!  His body needs to be cleaned in order to heal, have him eat a lot of raw vegetables and fruits, no meats in his diet.  My symptoms were worst before, but I feel a bit better after I starting the cleansing.  Body needs to be clean in order to allow healing to happen.  I had no choice, but to do that because none of the doctors I dealt with were able to help me.  I, kind of know what I have, but in order to make it official I need professional help to recognize my condition.  God Bless!

Thanks for your comments and can realize your situation also when such occurrences happen.
My son also experiences similar systems and also his one nose is blocked when the pain comes and he needs to relieve himself with bowel movement.
We have consulted many specialists and no one can really help as there is no need to do a brain MRI or EEG as the systems are more related to digestive disorders. The intake food when ever taken is soon digested unlike us and other normal people and than the urge to have bowel movement and relieve one self.
As soon this is done than all systems disappear and one is back to normal. Those 30 or 40 minutes are a horrible experience.
We have put our son on ayurvedic medicines and they seem to act now. A proper specialist analysis are however welcome.

I believe the headaches are related to his gastric problems, I am in the same situation, I am getting headaches (back of my head, lower part) for two reasons: when I am in need to eat because of my ulcers or before a bowel movement because of my internal-external hemorrhoids; the hemorrhoidal headaches comes accompanied with nausea followed by the urge to have a bowel movement; I also get this feeling in the back of my mouth and throat, mouth starts watering, I start shaking, sweating, spitting, and running nose on the left side, and I think I'm going to throw up at any second.  This is just a wickedly horrible experience.  It only subsides when I have a complete bowel movement.  I am hoping this nightmare to end soon, my doctor has not been very helpful so far.

It seems the problem associated with my son is more related to a over reactive digestive system and he needs to relieve himself as soon he puts something in his stomach.
Normally we relieve ourselves once in the morning after getting up and perhaps once in the evening/night before going to bed. Our son needs to do many times and if he does not than the stomach bloats and pains and gases are produced which enter his brain and cause headaches.
This may or may not be related to migraine or eyes but more to his hyper active digestion system and as such he is very thin inspite of the fact that he eats well and normally hungry after relieving himself many times.
If some one has similar problems than advise remedy and also we look on experts to guide us.

Many thanks and it is correct that the cause could be migraine. But there are no genetics
effects in the family or any occurrence of this disease.
The Dr. has also suggested some good medicines for migraine and my son is starting the same and let us see how they react.
These medicines should bring their reaction in 2 weeks as advised by Dr.
Thanks a lot and appreciate your advise.

I think getting his eyes checked is a good idea, but I also think this could definitely be migraine related.  Migraines don't necessarily have to start with a headache - sometimes people can get visual auras (such as halos around lights), a congestion and even stomach issues before the headache strikes.  The headache can also cause the stomach issues (very common with migraines to have stomach problems along with it)  

So, I would suggest in addition to getting his eyes checked, also follow up with his doctor about the possibility of migraines.  He may want to give some migraine meds a try next time it happens or he may want to have him looked at by a neurologist.  Some non-medicinal things you could try the next time it happens is having him lie down in a darkened, quiet room.  Sometimes either a cool washcloth on the forehead or an ice pack on the back of the neck helps relieve the headache.

Best of luck!

Many thanks for your opinions and same is appreciated. Yes, I agree that headaches could be related to eye sight and focus. Mostly as he spending most of his time on laptop.
We visited another Dr. today morning and he has advised to see a eye physician and get the eyes examined properly and he has also suggested to get MRI and EEG brain done and some blood tests. This would lead him to better medical advise and we shall follow this.
Thanks for your good wishes for my son and hope soon he recovers.
