Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Pain Behind The Eye And At The Base Of The Skull?
I have a headache behind my right eye & at the base of my skull. Last month I was hospitalized overnight for a small bleed on my brain. Cat scan & mri showed no more bleeding. But I woke up today with what I call a headache behind my eye, my vision a little blurred & feeling like if I push on my eyelid it hurts but kinda good. Same with the pain at the base of the back of my neck on the same side.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, most of the headaches are nonspecific and may be due to stress and depression, in your case it must be due to sinusitis, I would advise to treat this with Tab Acetaminophen with Ibuprofen three times in day, try steam inhalation, drink more water, have hot drinks hope this information helps.
