Hello,
Not been here for a while! Hope everyone is well with the current worrying situation. Stay safe everyone.
I’m hoping you can help me and put my fears, anxiety and worry to bed.
I am a 31 year old male, overweight and exercise moderately. I am (fingers crossed) generally well and all recent health checks have come back fine.
On the afternoon of Sunday 1st March 2020 I started to feel a tension style pressure headache. It is 24/7 and hasn’t gone away since that day. The previous day I had been drinking, had some fatty food and was sick (through the mouth and nose).
The headache is mainly in my temples and front of head and face going down to my nose area. I feel slight nausea at times but not most of the day. I haven’t been sick, exercise doesn’t seem to make it worse and I’m able to get around as normal. I have noticed a slight blur in my vision and this is normally when I’m looking at my PC or TV and goes when I blink. I have the very off sharp pain but vast many thanks of the time it’s just pressure and tension. I also seem to have eyes which are painful and my right eye feels like when you've just woken up (only way to describe it).
I'll add I had an eye test about a month ago and other than a slight change in my sight everything came back fine, including the pressure test they do on the optic.
The head feels more pressure and tension when I lay down or bend over. It’s not more painful just more pressure/tension like feeling.
I am trying to stay well hydrated and I have had a headache like this previously that went on for about a month and a 1/2 approximately 5 years ago.
Is this anything to be seriously concerned about? My main worry is Brain tumour which makes me anxious so anything that helps put my mind to rest on that front (why it isn’t) would be great.
Happy to answer any further questions required. No cognitive functions have been tricky for me, just to add.
Thanks!
