General & Family Physician 's  Response
Welcome to Health Care Magic.Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern..

I would suggest:
U should consult a neurosurgeon as soon as possible.
a shunt blockage or shunt infection can lead to episodes of headache, eye pain..for which urgent expert attention is necessary.
Please consult ur neurosurgeon at the earliest to rule out any such situation.
A CT scan brain will b helpful for diagnosis.I wud recommend u get one done.

Please write for any other query.
Have a nice day,
Regards
