What Causes Eye Pain,heavy Head And Mucus From The Nose After Using Computer Excessively?

I use computer and mobile phone excessively. I get pain and feel heaviness above the eyes and also have a heavy head. When these symptoms arise I normally have a flowing mucus from my nose also. On taking Brufen or crocin I get relief. Are these symptoms of sinus. This problem also happens when I travel also. Please suggest what medicine I should I take or what I am taking is fine. Thanks.
I will see my doctor for advice. Thanks

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having eye pain, headache after viewing computer long time.
This is called as computer vision syndrome. The treatment is by use of artificial tears eye drops. The syndrome is because of irritation of eyes as a result of exposure to computer monitor and it can be avoided by preventing continuous exposure by taking frequent breaks in between and washing the eyes with normal water.
The mucus discharge is also because of irritation and it will decrease by avoiding continuous exposure by taking frequent breaks in between while working with the computer.

Thank you
