severe headache

From the past 2 years I had been suffering from headache which crops up suddenly but does not remain for long. The pain accelerates when I am studying but slowly decreases when i am not. I don't have any problem in watching TV or using computers. With the headache I often feel like vomiting (but not always). My eyelids often becomes swollen and starts paining after I wake up. I cannot find a solution to my problem and I had been running after doctors who come up with almost no solutions. I have -2.25 power in my eyes and they haven't increased in recent past. Please suggest something to end my plight. Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the updates. The signs and symptoms of a brain tumor varies and depends on factors such as the size, location and rate of growth. Signs and symptoms include new onset or change in pattern of headaches, headaches that gradually become more frequent and more severe, unexplained nausea or vomiting, vision problems, gradual loss of sensation or movement in an arm or a leg, difficulty with balance, speech difficulties, confusion, personality or behavior changes and even seizures. Diagnosis, however, include imaging studies, blood tests and complete neurological examiantion.  It is best that you have these diagnostic tests done for proper diagnosis. Your symptoms may not be due to this and may just cause you unnecessary worries.  Think positive always. Take care and hope to hear from you soon.

My eyes give lesser pain now but I often feel a vomitting sensation along with mild headache. I will be very much grateful to you if you kindly state whether my symptoms match with brain cancer patient's or not. I am very worried please reply soon. Thanks for you advice.

Hi,
How are you? Are there other symptoms present? What diagnostic tests were done in the past? Exertion headaches may occur with both active and passive actions. A neurological examination will help. Waking up with swollen and painful eyelids should also be checked by an ophthalmologist for proper management. You may also benefit from imaging studies such as CT scan  or MRI. Take care and do keep us posted.
