Hi doctor,
I have had an awful headache for six days making me very agitated. Pain is going into an eye and the side of my head feels slightly spongy. I have not banged head at all. Usual painkillers are not working for long. It is driving me insane.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I am giving you my opinion as follows. If your pain is throbbing in nature with nausea or intolerance to loud sound then a migraine should be ruled out. Check your blood pressure as high bp can lead to a headache. Provide a history of an ear infection if present for giving more comment. Chronic stress can lead to a headache as well. Hypoglycemia, lack of sleep, smoking, prolonged fasting, etc., contribute to a headache. If no, any inflammation present and no cause identified than CT scan advisable. Take care.
