Why do I always have headaches?

[marissa_hill]

I'm 15 years old and for the past couple of months i have been getting headaches and they have become increasingly worse now i seem to always have one. It feels like someone is standing on my head, and it gets worse if i exercise or move my head to quickly. Medicine doesn't seem to help. I got a blood test back in December but the doctors didn't see anything wrong. What could be causing these headaches?

Hi, Thank you for your question. For persistent headaches, possibilities like pinched nerve in cervical spine, 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!!!

i haven't fallen or anything like that... as for getting an MRI i don't know if my parents would go for that they just think i'm dehydrated. and that's not enough to go get that big of a test.

Hi...have u experienced a fall or been in a MVA in the last yr or so?
Get ur blood levels checked for vitamins and minerals....

U may also want to ask for a cervical and or brain MRI to be sure u do not have a pinched nerve or a herniated disk.

Good luck
