Causes of Eye Headache
Eyestrain, not getting enough sleep, not blinking properly, nausea/motion sickness, side effects of certain medications, and stress can be the reasons for developing eye strain.
Energy levels:
This is a different dimension altogether. The energy that we carry around with us in this world is essential to give a direction to our lives. Moreover, it also helps us make decisions about our future without the lure of providing instant gratification. It helps us take chances in life which often make or break one’s present and future life.
Without positive energy levels, we cannot achieve above stated goals at all since it doesn’t come naturally to anyone nor does it last long unless one has deliberately designed his positive energy source backed up by methods/activities that enhance it and also maintain its consistency like:
1) Not doing things we don’t want to do:
Like not to think about certain things which we don’t want to. It is not possible for everyone all the time but one can always try and avoid such scenarios by adopting an alternate approach or scenario as soon as he realizes that his energy levels are dropping like a stone.
2) Make short-term goals :
Short-term goals can be set keeping a clear picture of our target in mind. For example, if you have come across a paragraph which has made your forehead ache then, give yourself some time and after some 3-4 hours go back and read it again with fresh eyes and see whether what you thought earlier were correct. This way you will not jinx your entire day which was getting better up until now.
3) Develop a habit of reading humorous stuff or watching humorous shows to keep our minds away from things that are stressing us out.
4) Keep yourself busy with some work/activity at all times, even if it is household work, but avoid overwork which again can lead to stress.
Eye pain and headache treatment:
A headache can be a result of various causes. This article deals with the common causes and most effective home remedies for headaches. It is very important to identify the primary cause, to treat the condition effectively.
Headache and eye pain:
If you wake up with a headache, it could be because of stress or dehydration. Try taking aspirin or a non-aspirin pain reliever such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) to help ease the discomfort. Avoid analgesic medications that contain caffeine, such as Excedrin and other “extra strength” pain relievers. They can make your condition worse and might even cause rebound headaches. Sipping on a caffeinated beverage like coffee will give you a short-term boost but may lead to further dehydration. Also, caffeine withdrawal can trigger a migraine in some people who are addicted to this common stimulant.
Headache behind left eye:
If the pain is behind your left eye, you could have a sinus problem. If it’s on the right side, check for an allergy. Tears can drip from your eyes if you have allergies or if you are irritated from being exposed to dust or smoke.
Headache behind eyes won’t go away:
Check your sleep habits. If you have a hard time sleeping through the night, or if you wake up tired during the day without having rested adequately, your body may be stressed and in need of more rest.
Headache behind left eye pain:
Pain between the eyes could mean an infection such as pink eye (conjunctivitis) is present. See a doctor as soon as possible if you suspect that pink eye is causing your discomfort; it can quickly spread to others on contact and cause serious health problems if left untreated.
Headache behind right ear:
Pain at the bottom of the skull may be caused by high blood pressure (hypertension). Again, see a doctor for this diagnosis and begin monitoring your blood pressure regularly at home.
Headache behind right eye:
If you have a headache in the back of your right eye, you could be dealing with a condition called retinitis pigmentosa. This degenerative disease causes vision loss and can affect other parts of the body. It’s important to see a doctor.
Headache behind left ear pain:
Most headaches that occur on one side of the head are caused by problems in your neck or head area – it is not very common for pain to radiate from elsewhere around the body to any particular region on one side of your skull.
However, some rare conditions might cause this sort of problem; if you suspect something unusual is going on, consult a doctor so he/she can help figure out what might be happening.
Headache behind eyes with sensitivity to light:
A headache that specifically includes a sensitivity to bright light and/or the feeling of “fine sand” in your eye could be related to a condition called keratitis. This is an inflammation of one or both eyelids and can cause vision problems as well as pain behind your eyes. It’s important to see a doctor for this condition; it can be dangerous if left untreated.
Headache due to eye problem symptoms:
If you have a headache and your eyes are puffy or itchy, you might have allergies. Get them under control with antihistamines from your pharmacy.
Headache behind left eye near nose:
You may have an infection such as sinusitis. Other symptoms include facial pain, pressure in the cheekbones, teeth, gums, eyebrows, and/or top of head, fever, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting. If you suspect that this is what’s going on with you, see a doctor for the right diagnosis and treatment.
Headache behind right ear not going away:
It could be a side effect related to one of the medications you’re taking regularly. Common culprits include blood pressure drugs (diuretics), birth control pills, or drugs to treat Parkinson’s (MAO inhibitors). If you think any of these could be behind your problem, talk to a doctor and research on the internet for more information about their side effects.
headache behind eyes and forehead:- If you have a headache behind your eyes and forehead it could be caused by stress. Stress headaches are very common, but they can also be from dehydration from working out or not drinking enough water throughout the day. You might want to try increasing your water intake as well as taking a multivitamin if you don’t already take one daily.
headache on one side of the head, pain behind the left eye:- If you experience this sort of problem now and then, it may just be a tension headache or a migraine that’s gone on too long. Apply some ibuprofen gel (a product you can find at any pharmacy) to the skin over the bone of your skull behind your ear for quick relief from this type of problem.
causes of headache and eye strain:
The headaches can be due to eyestrain and/or dry eyes. Look at the lighting in your home and office, and make sure that both are bright enough (but not too bright). Reduce glare by putting a coat of anti-glare spray on your computer monitor, for example.
Also, use artificial tears every few hours throughout the day; these over-the-counter products you can find at any pharmacy will moisturize your eyes and relieve discomfort and irritation caused by dryness.
headache behind right eye:
If there is pain in the back of your right eye, you may have glaucoma which is an increase of pressure within the eyeball. It’s important to see a doctor for this problem; without treatment, it can eventually damage your vision.
