For the past about 2 or 3 months I've been suffering with a headache every single day. However I also am freaking out about a brain tumour or some sort of serious illness. Just recently I've had head preassure, a dull ache and kinda like stabbing pains in the right side of my head. Ranging from the front, behind eye, side and just above my neck. I've also had dizziness, nausea, left side doesn't feel right, tiredness, lack of concentration, and a kina spaced out feeling. I've been to the doctors and emergency hospital numerous times and had my eyes checked fine and all of them say that I have nothing to worry about, even though I think they should be giving me a scan....

    Hello Emily, do these headaches are always on one side (left or right) and come only during middle of the night or early mornings?

      I've neve woken up with one. Sometimes I'll have one about half an hour after waking and then it comes and goes throughout the day

      I went to specsavers about 2weeks ago and they checked everything and said I have a slight prescription but I wouldn't benefit with glasses, then they said my eyes are healthy.

      So nothing bad going on ,got to be other reason 's for it,have look at silent migraines ,they can happen and you won't ever connect the dots up ,get Dizzyness with them and nausea ,try Migraleve meds ,over the counter ,see if they give relief ,I find them better than paracetamol .Drinking more water would go long way to ,staying more hydrated .
