What Could Cause Headache And Discomfort Around The Eyes?

I have been having some headaches lately around the eyes, side of my ear. Nothing horrible, and usually managed with Advil. I believe probably tension headaches. But what is bothering me is I m also having discomfort (not pain), in the back of my head, right side, just about level with the top of my ear (but in the back of my head). I used to suffer from neuralgia as a child, and sometimes it feels like that twitch....but yet the discomfort is sort of there a lot of the time. I m not sure if I should be going to emerg to have this checked out (I m also a worry wart, and envision a tumour, aneurysm etc..).

Hi,
These symptoms are probably related to stress.Appear to be more of somatic symptoms.Mental relaxation exercises like meditation/yoga will help.Amitriptyline(low dose) regularly,under the guidance of a physician will help.However,MRI Brain may be done to rule out anything organic.Hope that helps.
