Headaches?

4 replies

I have been experiencing really bad headaches for weeks now - it feels like a pressure type headache. I have had my eyes tested & my prescription has not changed since last year so I know its not that - however I do have high pressure in my eyes so wondering if this is the reason?

I have noticed the headaches seems worse when I lie down or lean forward for eg when I need to pick something up off the floor. Could this be Sinus probs?

Do you think I should return to the Optician (can't see what they could do though) or go to my GP? The pain is unbearable sometimes.

yes barbie, the way u distinguish between headaches and sinus headaches is by bending down and seeing if it hurts what colour is the disharge from your nose? sounds like u may have sinusitus

Haven't noticed the colour of the discharge in my nose tbh.

If it is Siusitus, what is the treatment for it?

Thanks

just a simple course of antibiotics, hate to say it but u will need to take notice of the colour of nose mucous as this will be a thing the doctor will ask, also do u have a blocked or runny nose?
