strange headache

Ive had this headache for 4 weeks now   i woke up with it one morning. it was above my left eye. it has since migrated to around my eyes and then towards the back of my head and has decreased in intensity.  its not throbing but hurts when i exert myself or bend over. if i sneeze it hurts my head pretty bad for a couple minutes. about a week ago i started having hearing problems. I have loud ringing or buzzing in my ears and voices sometimes sound like robots.  My doc gave me amoxicillan for a sinus infection but it didnt help.   what could it be?

The problem here is everyone is always suggesting taking some kind of a drug prescription or over the counter, that will only "mask" your symptoms...nobody trys to figure out the root cause of your problem. Figure out the "cause" you can "cure" yourself...drugs not needed!!!  I would highly recommend not taking any advice that involves taking medication. Always remember that all drugs only mask your symptoms, none of them can cure.

Hi,

There is a possibility that you may be suffering from benign exertional headache. It is a type of migraine which is brought on by bending, lifting and sneezing. I would suggest you to try OTC pain killers and breathing exercises and see if these help. Also schedule an appointment with a physician as soon as you can.

Amoxicillan is good for infections, but doesn't treat allergies at all.  I'd try some Benadryl or other top brand allergy med. and if it doesn't help within 3-5 days, go back to the Doc.  
Headaches are nothing to mess with and can be due to neurological disorders, but try allergy relief first and be persistent.

Hope this helps!
