Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have a headache that seems to be squeezing my head right above the eyes. It happened yesterday after completing my work. I tried to sleep at that time but I am not able to sleep. I am using eyeglasses and I am not sure whether these two are related.
Please help.

Thank you for your reply.
It increases gradually and slowly. I do not have a fever and nasal discharge. It is rare for me to have headaches and it occurs most often after completing my work or after doing paper works.
Please help.

Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am not sure whether I have a sensitivity to light. But when I look around, the dark color seems to be darker and it causes more pain while seeing it. My family members do not have this headache. I am the only person using eyeglasses in my family.
Please suggest.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
According to the description, you have a tension-type headache. Recheck your eyes and using an appropriate glass number is necessary. The majority of headaches occur due to tiredness both physically and mentally. Staring monitor for a long time can trigger it. Try to look at distant objects every twenty minutes while doing work. Pay attention to monitor height and its center should be at the level of your eyes. It helps to decrease tension in the cervical and occipital muscles. In these cases, I prescribe you take tablet Nortriptyline 10 mg at bedtime. If lifestyle changes and medical treatment does not help you, then you need to do brain imaging.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
