Headaches.

I keep getting bad headaches, like they're pounding. I take tablets, then they go, but I understand these are bad for my kidneys and I shouldn't keep taking them every time. But they hurt so much, I have to.

At this current moment in time, I have a massive headache, on the right handside of my head, and it's hurting my eyes. The top of my cheekbone also keeps tingling, and I'm worried it may be something else as my body also feels weak.

I'm not sure, any doctors in the house!?

Nope, I'm not a doctor, but my advice to you is go see one, better to go and get an answer instead of wondering what it might be!
-- answer removed --
we have just had a nasty virus around our way - gave you a TERRIBLE headache - like someone was drilling above your eyes. We took extra strength ibruprofen. But you could give your doctor a ring for some advice
if its not an eyesight problem then i would see the doctor..you could allways take feverfew tablets from the health shop..as they are excellent for headaches..
It could be migraine, if so an ice pack on your forehead in a darkened room along with a dose of ibuprofen could be the answer, but go along and see your GP anyway if your worried. In most cases people who exprience regular headaches don't usually have anything 'seriously' wrong, but I can sympathise with how you are feeling.

I've just remembered that my dads real mother (he's adopted) has a history of glucoma (sp) in the family. I think I'm gonna book an eye-test and a doctors appointment.

Thanks peeps. :o)

If you get these headaches often.... Go and see a Physio..... I used to get migraines every 3 weeks... I found out that it was referred pain from my neck....

Other than that - do go and see your GP...

:-)

Hope that this helps.....

You might want to try and find a Kinesiologist in your area.  They will be able to find out the underlying causes of your headaches and treat that.  Then the headaches will go.  I can say this quite confidently as I am a Kinesiologist myself!

It could well be migraine if it is one sided.  Migraine can often make your body feel week and effect your limbs.  It can also cause tingling.  My son used to lose the use of his right arm.

But you must see your GP and get a proper diagnosis.  Don't worry about it because headaches are rarely a sign of anything really serious.

Good luck.

You don't say whether or not you've had any viruses lately, but it could be sinus trouble. You can also get headaches if you aren't drinking enough fluids as the body becomes dehydrated.

You will only find out by visiting the doctor.
