Headache for 2 1/2 weeks

Hi, I'm 15 years old male and for about 2 1/2 weeks I've had a chronic headache that seems to be above/behind the eye. I had a cold about 3 weeks ago and then a minor cold about 1 weeks after the headaches start. I went to the doctor last friday and he gave me a nasal spray and told me to take sudafed but my nasal passages are clear and have been and I have no congestion. The headache occurs when things are moving past or like quick movements, things become very sensitive I guess you can say. For example, when coming home from school looking out the bus window makes myself want to close my eyes because of the strain or pain. I have no pain when my eyes are closed and I can sleep without disturbances. I'm on Rhinocourt Aqua 32mcg. Any suggestions? please help I cant live with this .

Hi,
I think there is strong possibilty that the headache is due to eyestrain and sinus congestion. Please take steam inhalation to clear your sinuses. Cut down on your computer time. Do not sit continuously in front of the computer, take a break every hr or so. Do some eye exercises and get a visual examination done.Do not worry as this does not sound serious as you have no other symptoms.Sleep for atleast 8 hrs at night and take up a physical activity or sport. Hope it helps!

I know should revised but also I'm on the computer 4-5 hours per day. Could it be eyestrain? but it lasts through the day at school from no pain to severe at random

I read up about aneurysm's and as usual it freaks me out and meningitis. The major thing is just that I have no pain when I'm sleeping and I don't have a stiff neck, my vision... I can read the board Powerpoints in my classes at school fine, sometimes my eye has a spasm for like 3 seconds which doesn't happen much. Could it be stress?
