Headaches

[KaelKaos]

I always hesitate to google symptoms cause i get a variety of condition from stress to brain tumors; so I figure it's better to ask here and get a multitude of opinions.

So saturday I had a predicament. It began with blurred vision, in the upper left peripherals of my left eye. It grew to encompass the outer left portion of that eye. It was weird, I could see, but I couldn't focus. I could tell there was type on a page in front of me but using that section of my eye, I couldn't tell you what it said. After a good 20 or 30 mins that went away and then came a headache. It wasn't terrible but it lasted all day long. And it happened again today, but this time the headache was a lot worse. It did not last as long because I took some advil, but for an hour or two I thought my head was gonna burst. Any idea what is going on? I hesitate to call it a migrane because I am never nauseous nor does light and sound irritate me.

It doesn't sound like a migraine from what you are describing. Like you said it is best not to google symptoms unless you have some degree of medical knowledge. It could be alot of things, and it is hard to narrow it down on a forum. I would recommended stopping by your doctor and saying "Doc recently I have noticed ............ happening". It is the best way to find out the cause. Most of the time it is not serious, but it could be anything. Headaches can come from anything, poor vision, wearing glasses, stress, too much caffeine. It is the main symptom for dozens of conditions. Most not that serious.

As for the time now, I would suggest some Rest and Relaxation, drink plenty of water and get some sleep if possible. Try and stay off the computer with a headache. I strongly advise you to just go see the doctor anyway. Thats what their there for :)

Anything else you want to know in more detail, or more general advice from someone that is trained, there are a few of us on here that know our stuff. Just get some rest and some Ibuprofen or Paracetamol couldn't hurt. Remember to stick to the instructions on the package.

Any Questions and PM me, here to help :D

I would agree and still suggest seeing the physician is these symptoms still continue.
