One of my eyes has been bloodshot for about a year now, I've also been getting reoccurring intermittent headaches which feel like a hot poker stabbing on the top side of my eyeball and going deeper into my skull. Doctor has brushed it off as "tension headache" and "acute facial pain". Eye test came back fine. Any eyedeas? (see what eyeimage did there 😁)

Thanks

    sounds like a cluster headache. Do you smoke or drink alcohol?
