I have a constant headache that causes me pain just behind the eye. How can I treat this? I tried antihistamines. I usually have many kinds of different headache. Palpitations strong in the back of the head, pain around the temples and face and pain behind the eyes.
The most common benign cause of severe headache is migraine . Migraine can feel a throbbing pain in the back of the head, around the eyes and behind them. Migraine is often accompanied by sensitivity to light , noise, odor, and nausea and vomiting. Most people with migraines prefer to lie in the dark, in a quiet room and wait for the pain to go away . , Which could take several hours. The migraine headaches should be differentiated from migraine headache . These headaches share some of the same characteristics, such as severity , pounding and squeezing, but , unlike migraines , are NOT benign - they are symptoms of a serious problem affecting the brain , brain coverings , the eyes and other cranial elements. The migraine headaches may be caused by brain aneurysms, tumors or other structural problems in the brain or skull , inflammatory conditions such as arteritis or giant cell vasculitis , break the lining of the cerebral arteries (called dissection ) or syndrome Tolosa- Hunt, to name a few cases. Headaches behind or near the eyes may cause optic neuritis , glaucoma , dental problems, sinus infections or cavernous sinus thrombosis , among many other causes that can not be ignored . The most serious causes of headaches often worsen over time , especially if not treated , and no doubt lead to a serious injury or death . It is very important that any pain again , different or unusual headache is evaluated.
