Bad Headache and eye twitching....Should I see a Doctor?

[Tas1]

Last Sunday I had what I think was a Migarine. I was in bed all day with a realy bad headache which lasted 24hrs. I could'nt stand light, my vision was very grainy and if I sat up, the top of my head felt as if it was pumping/pulsating. Over the last week, the headache has got less and less but I still seem to have a slight headache across my forehead which just seems to linger in the background. Also for the last 5 days I have had twitching in my left eye. It is the lower left eyelid that twitches. For the first two days it twitched every couple of minuets for the whole day, gradually as the week has gone on it has got less, so that now it only happens about a dozen times in 24hrs.

Was this a Migraine or a bad headache?
If it was a Migraine, do you get eye twitching with them?
Should I see the Doctor?

Anyone?

What you describe last Sunday does sound like a migraine. But I've never had eye twitching after a migraine - once it's gone, it's gone.

The headache definately sounds like a migraine. I get them almost every month. A few weeks ago I had a migraine and it came with eye-twitching (for the first time ever). I put this down to lack of sleep.
The headache and twitching have now stopped.

Hope you are okay.

A pulsing headache on the top of the head when you sit up sounds like a dehydration headache. Do you have a dry mouth? If so you might want to try drinking plenty of water.

Migraine is classically a one sided throbbing headache with sensitivity to light and nausea. You can also get visual problems. However, it can present in different ways in different people. Have a look at www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/40000731/

The eye twitching sounds like blepharospasm which probably isn't significant on its own. Check out www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/40000909/

If this has never happened before then I think you need see your GP who can ask more questions and examine you. If the doc thinks it is new onset migraine, he/she may want to look into it further.

Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone.
The Migraine type headache was all on the left side of my head, especially over my left eye, the pulsing symptom was just when I sat up, the background headache which I have had since, is across my forhead. The twitching is in my lower left eyelid.

Thank you northwest1, I will have a look at the web pages you have suggested.
