Headache

Posted , 2 users are following.

I am having really bad headache on left side of head at first I thought was just a normal headache a week later I started to get a lump on my head on left side the head feels very tenderness too much pain as u feel it it feels like there is water inside my head can not put pressure on it as it is hurting to much

I have lost my appetite and feel very dizzy when walking also I have lost my balance can not walk with out any ones support also while walking i fall over 

Have been to the GP not doing anything about it other than giving paracetamol which is not helping me at all my vision from left eye has completely gone can not see

Any one have any idea what this could be

    If you are under 18? There is a condition where the brain pushes on the skull because the brain is to big for the skull. I think this is more common in girls. You could try to see a neurologist, or consultant paediatrician, depending on how old you are? Could be worth getting an MRI or CT scan  if you are worried about it being cancer or a tumour or something? Where is the lump? Where is the pain? Have you any eye issues? Try to see an optician? Any dental issues? Any history of headaches? Hope you can get some relief. BTW I have tried all this I have had a headache like this since May 2017

      Update: there's basically nothing I can do. Unless I want to go in everyday for 2 weeks on a rehab program. This will mean staying in a hotel away from my friends and pet and family!
