What's going on inside my head?

[Cyndieforshort]

For the past four days now, I have been experiencing a really bad headache which comes and goes at different times of the day. When the pain hits, it begins from the back left side of my head and radiates around to my left eye which then causes my vision to be blurred! I become briefly unstable meaning that at times it causes me to stumble a bit and I also become a bit disoriented. I haven't gone to a doctor because i don't have insurance and I'm on a limited budget

Thank you for giving me feedback on this. I do appreciate it. I did take my BP while at work today during one of my headache episodes and it was rather HIGH so i am going to monitor it tonight and see my doctor in the morning. Thank you again and I will keep y'all posted.

it is very important that you apply for the medically indigent program at the closest hospital to you. my head aches are similar and i have a brain tumor. check to see if your hospital has an mri machine and do whatever you can to get in one. You know your body and you know when something is wrong. listen to your body

Thank you for your question. Although without being able to examine you I can not offer you the specific advice on diagnosis and treatment that you need, but I would try to provide you some relevant information about your health concern.

For persistent headaches, possibilities like migrainous, cluster, tension and refractive errors that need to be evaluated thoroughly with the help of a neurologist here. Migraine like headache can be throbbing, one sided of face & head and preceded by aura (starts with blurred vision). Cluster headache may appear as burning, explosive in nature and tear appears from eyes. Tension headache originates with stress and anxiety disorder. Please arrange an appointment with a neurologist right away who will evaluate the further underlying disorders by clinically examine you & ordering MRI or CT scan here that may be the main reasons of your headache attacks & other symptoms and can provide you an appropriate treatment. Hope this information proves helpful to you. Take Care & Regards!!!
