I’ve had headaches most of my adolescent years, seem to be worsening.

I am a 17 year old female and as long as i can remember, i have had these headaches which are tolerable. The reason for the headaches in the past were due to my eye sight and so i got glasses.

My eye sight improved and so i was told i didn't need to wear the glasses anymore, which the headaches had gone for a while.

However, over the last couple of weeks/months i have experienced headaches again but these are like nothing i have ever had and the pain rate is at the top of the scale at ten.

The headaches would sometimes come on suddenly and aggressive like someone was hammering my head with a heavy object. It would worsen when i would stand up or try to do anything so i would have to stop until the pain subsides which will be roughly 3-5 minutes.

Due to the fact i had mild headaches before due to my eye sight i thought that it could be that again, however having gone for a recent eye exam, it was shown that it not my eye sight and the opticians told me to seek help from the G.P.

However, when these headaches are present i also experience problems with my right eye. First it was twitching, and it would seem as if it was sensitive to light. Then, my vision would go blurry in my right eye and no matter what i would do it would not subside (blinking) so i would wait it out until it would stop. As well as this i would often see little things floating in my view or sometimes i would see somethings to the right side of my body like dots of lights in the corner of my eye.

A side from the eye twitching, i have also been experiencing more symptoms like my right thumb would start shaking for small time and then i would feel some type of sensation in my right hand by my wrist but further up the hand. I would also feel tingling in my left hand.

Not sure if this is anything, but i would also hear my heart beat in my eyes. Like it was racing.
