What Causes Headaches And Eye Pain?
Question: Hello.. My name is XXXXXXX I have been having headaches for several months. I have been to the eye Dr.,., sinus Dr. Dentist. . Still no answers, This pain sometimes starts in one eye, then travels to spot areas on my head. Most of the time I can locate the source area with my fingers. It is right above my ear lobe, sometimes both sides. When I push on this area it hurts, almost relieves the pain of the headache for that period of time. But the pressure point is painful...Does this sound familiar to you and do you have any suggestions. I am so exhausted with this. Thank you.
