constant pressure in head

Hello, i am a 15 year old boy.  Lately for the past 2 weeks, i have been having these horrible episodes of extreme pressure on the top of my head.  I have changed most of my habits and nothing has seemed to have been working.  I feel like i'm pulling weight on my head, and that i'm going to pass out.  My vision is perfect (although i'm "blinded" one eye because i threw my left contact out), BP is normal, and i get the usual 8 hours of sleep.  I am really scared because i don't know what i have and it's not going away! PLEASE If any of you have anything to tell me PLEASE let me know!

Hi,

Is there any way that you can get medical help?

With a previous history of "blood clots" and now a new onset headache with visual symptoms ,he may need immediate assessment and intervention.

Who gave the diagnosis of blood clots ? Were you able to seek consult with a physician for this?

His clotting factors need to be assessed and a complete eye  and cardiac examination may be necessary.A  cranial CT scan may be requested.

Hi,

Have you discussed this with your parents or a guardian?

For how long have you been experiencing the headaches?

Any associated symptoms like nausea and vomiting?

Have you any previous head and neck injuries prior to this?

Are you engaged in any sports or strenuous activities?

These are just questions to clarify what you have posted. Keep us posted with your answers.
