I started having intense sharp constant pain behind my right eye, right temple area, and backside of the right side of my head?

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

I’m male 24 years old. I started having intense sharp constant pain behind my right eye, right temple area, and backside of the right side of my head. It started in early September about once a week for the first 3 weeks. Then I started having the intense sharp pain every other day. And now it’s EVERY DAY. It’s a very intense sharp constant and persistent pain. It gets very painful during the nighttime. I went to go get it checked out when it started occurring every other day. The doctor asked what my symptoms were. Symptoms: intense pain on the right side of my head behind my eye, right temple, and backside of right side of head. I DONT have any other symptoms like vomiting, light sensitivity, etc. Just pain in my head.

My doctor prescribed me fioricet and didn’t do anything. She had me get a CT scan which ended up showing nothing. After that she prescribed sumatriptan which had little effect. Then I had an MRI done. The MRI showed I had a little bit of sinuses on the left side of my head (kind of near my eye brow). She said it was probably unrelated to my head pains but she prescribed me 2 weeks of antibiotics (amoxicillin/clave potassium 875mg) for the sinuses anyway; and decided to refer me to a neurologist for my head pain.

Once I started taking the antibiotics my head pain basically all but went away. 12 out of the 14 days I took the antibiotics I was pain free. 2 days of the 14 days I still had pain. But once I ran out of the antibiotics the miserable intense sharp pains came back… so I made other appointment to see if I could get some more of the antibiotics. It took 6 days after I ran out (which was this last Monday) to get into my appointment. I told her the antibiotics had a huge effect leaving me pain free 12 out of the 14 days when I took them. She said that was really good and that I probably just needed to be on the antibiotic longer to completely eliminate my symptoms.

So this last Monday she prescribed me 3 weeks of the same antibiotic with the same dosage. I started taking them Monday night. It’s now Wednesday night and the antibiotics are having no effect on me whatsoever now. My head pain is still very intense. I don’t understand why. I originally thought I had cluster headaches, but she prescribed me fioricet and sumatriptan and they didn’t work. Then I thought the sinuses that showed up on my MRI scan was linked my head pain since the pain went away first time I took the antibiotics. But now, for whatever reason the antibiotics aren’t working. I still have my neurologist appointment on November 30th.

What’s wrong with me?

What causes intense sharp 10 out of 10 pains on the right side of head behind right eye, right temple, and right side of back of head?

I’ve had this for almost 3 months now. I’m only 24. It’s so agonizing and exhausting. I’ve been taking Tylenol everyday. It’s effecting my everyday life.

I have some scars in my nose that are irritating, a lot of bleeding every day?

Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

Hi! I am (…) from Norway. For the past 8 years i have had some scars in my nose that has been really irritating. Because every morning and evening i have to blow my nose because of dry blood from the infected area. Also there is a lot of bleeding every day because of this.. its very frustrating. I have spoke with some doctors here where i live (small place) and they gave me a cream called “altargo 10mg/g” but in the manual it says with capital letters, “do not use in nose, mouth, eyes or other slimy places. Only for external use, skin on arm or leg etc. So i would really like some help to find out what i can do to make these wounds heal. Btw i did take a test, and it came positive with some bacteria present in the infected area (way up in the nose). I am tired of needing to blow my nose 2 times a day to be able to breath, thanks. best regards,

I’ve got bulimia and I’m on lamictal for bipolar disorder, I now have mushroom looking lumps on my tongue?

Posted on by — 10 Comments ↓

I’m a 20 year old female. I’ve got bulimia and I’m on lamictal for bipolar disorder. Three days ago I felt like i had a hair stuck at the back of my throat and it was like I couldn’t get rid of it, then I noticed right at the back of my tongue I have about 6/7 (I can’t see exactly how many as I have to poke my tongue right out) little mushroom looking lumps. They’re not sore or painful just irritating. My bulimia is really bad at the moment and i’ve been sick a lot so I’m wondering if it’s connected?

Food if I’m rushing to eat seems to get “stuck” without a sip of water? Is it a esophageal disorder?

Posted on by — 7 Comments ↓

I am a 35 year old male, non-smoker, healthy weight (6’1″, about 195 pounds), with generally good health, had my last annual physical last February, and run 9-12 miles per week. I generally eat food quickly, probably faster than I should. I do have occasional heartburn, typically associated with stress, but nothing more severe than what a Tums doesn’t handle. I do not have any history of diagnosed gastrointestinal problems. Over the past month and a half or so, I’ve had the flu, then either two or three colds. I’m mostly over everything but still have some post-nasal drainage, which is slowly going away. My concern is that every now and then, bigger bites of food if I’m rushing to eat seem to get “stuck” without a sip of water, which has been more noticeable (I think) since I’ve had the post-nasal drip. It’s once food feels to be around the level of the base of my throat, and there’s no airway issue. If it happens, after a sip of water I can’t replicate the feeling with another bite. There are no other symptoms and no lasting symptoms. If it’s just me eating too fast and/or irritation of drainage, that’s fine. I just wanted to make sure I don’t need to be seen to get checked out, since I don’t remember this happening on any sort of regular basis before too long ago. It seems that particularly worrisome esophageal disorders are very uncommon in my age/gender cohort, but I was hoping to get someone’s opinion on this.

I woke up with double vision, extreme dizzy spells, aneurysm in the family?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

I am a 42 year old female. I have a history of migraines, high BP, high cholesterol, anxiety and insomnia. I woke up one morning with double vision (which I have never had before). When i would look at simeone it was as if thwir duplicate was sitting right behind them. This lasted about 6 hours. Ever since then I have been getting extreme dizzy spells, to the point I have to firmly grab something to keep from falling on my face. It’s not a dizzy spell as in things seem to be moving when they are not, it is more like the entire room is spinning in a circle. Like I feel like throwing up. This happens when I’m sitting, laying down, and not moving at all. It scares me because my mom died of an aneurysm at 48 and my grandmother had a stroke at 50. My vision seems to have gotten a little worse since then as well. I do have a history of migraines, but have not had one in quite a while. Any help as to what this might be?

It got worst & I went to a bunch of doctors
Till I got the final diagnosis that I’ve neck muscles strain that caused a TMJ problem & that maybe my disc has been moved from it’s position or something like that
I did an MRI but it showed that there’s nothing wrong with my jaw.
I ignored the problem for a while
Until last week , beside the usual terrible headache , I’ve got this electrical feeling in the right half of my face
It ran in three places , around my eyebrow and eye , tip of nose and my upper lip , and along my mandible.
I’m not sure what’s the problem anymore , or who should I go to? The pain is becoming unbearable. I’d appreciate the help .

I have had a loud high-pitched ringing in both of my ears for the past year now?

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

Hi, i have had a loud high-pitched ringing in both of my ears for the past year now. it starts out of nowhere and leads to ringing and then slight loss of hearing. It sounds like a dog whistle and heaviness in my ears. I am a 15 year old Female, healthy and no medications. I told my mother and she said, she thinks it’s Tinnitus. What could it possibly be? It has been getting worse. and after the ringing happens my ears ache. nowhere. I could be walking or sitting and it still happens. I have had my hearing checked when i was little because the doctors thought i had a problem with hearing. Turns out i didn’t have a problem until now. Could i be losing my hearing? i’m getting worried about the ringing. What could it be? Thank you.

I have migraine with aura/epilepsy and osteoma ostitis, now have vision problems and numbness?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

I am 27 years old (male). 7 months back I suddenly felt numbness on my left side and tingling with darkness or blindness in my left eye which lasted for about 1 min (several times a day). I did CT Scan, MRI and EEG of brain and doctor told me I have migraine with aura/epilepsy and osteoma ostitis (3.2cmX1.9 cm) on Occipital bone. Numbness was bit controlled after continuing medication but these days it is happening frequently. Currently I’m under these following medicines:

– Topiramate 50 mg twice a day
– Gabapentin 300 mg twice a day
– Pizotifen BP 0.5 mg once in a night
– Thiamine Mononitrate + Pyridoxine Hydrochloride + Cyanocobalamin. Twice a day

But 1 month back I had fever for 10 days and since then I am experiencing vision problem which are flashes of light, check pattern with lights. I cannot read on white paper and feel comfortable to stay in dark. Retina specialist has confirmed that my eyes are alright. Also I suffer from severe headache sometimes.

I am confused whether this vision problem and numbness are related to the tumor or not and what should I do now? It will be highly appreciated if I could get any suggestion from you.

** I would also like to mention here that I’m a software engineer by profession for which I need to work with PC for 8-10 hrs a day X 7 days a week.

Kind Regards,

Today I woke up and my left ear is numb?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Hi, my name is (…). I have this weird problem. About 3 weeks ago I started getting a strange feeling on my left ear. It was like a hair was tickling it or a bug was on it. This was on the outer ear not the inner. Then today I woke up and my left ear is numb, not completely but it’s certainly dulled. The area around my ear has also gone numb. On my face and in my hair. Do you have any idea what it could be? Thanks
