Headache and eye pain

0 replies

About ten days ago I went out for the evening with friends. As the night wore on I developed a headache and a bit of a sore/itchy/red eye. When I got home I went to bed and thought it would be gone by the morning, but it wasn't - well, my eye looked and felt ok, but the headache was still pretty bad. Took three lots of painkillers before it went. That was that.

Yesterday I developed another headache mid morning, this time sort of behind both eyes and around temples. Took one lot of paracetmaol and it went, but had started to come back as I went to bed last night.

This morning, I've woken up with a fairly mild but noticeable pain behind my left eye (again) and in my left temple. My eye looks normal but it hurts when I look up or down.

I'm just wondering what it could be. Had sinusitis a few months ago with very bad eye/face pain and this doesn't really feel like that, although I suppose it could be - my nose is a little bit stuffy/runny but nothing major.

Stupidly I've googled and read all sorts about different headache causes and, being the hypochondriac that I am, I'm now thinking of all of the awful things it could be.

Does anyone have any calming advice? Please?!
