I Get Severe Headaches , Daily, From The Moment I
Question: I get severe headaches, daily, from the moment I wake up till when I fall asleep. My headaches are concentrated on the right side of my face, temple area. When I touch my face, it is sensitive to touch in my temple and above my ear. When I blink, my right eye sends pain into my temple on the right side. Sometimes my nose is stuffy on that side, my neck right now is very sore, and my right eye will feel sluggish. I have been seen for migraines and I have sumatriptan tablets
Brief Answer:
Hello dear. it can be other than migraine
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through your query. So the cause of your headaches which are also sensitive to touch can have few more differentials.
First of all it warrants evaluation for trigeminal nerve involvement.
Secondly, as you mentioned you have a stuffy nose, so a deviated nasal septum and sinusitis can also lead to such types of headache.
A detailed ear nose and neurological clinical examination is required followed by MRI of face and head area which can identify these conditions.
Hope you understand. Please feel free to ask further
