Headache And Bloodshot Eyes. On Blood Pressure Medications And Testostorone Replacement. Any Thoughts?
Question: over about the last 30 days I have had a tension in the back of the head that does not hurt but feels like pressure. Last Sunday when I woke up i noticed that my eys were very blood shot and it seemed like i had strained my eyes. I went to the eye doctor and he told me I had a eye infection and gave me medication drops to see if this would help. A week later I still have the blood shot eyes and I have the headace that has moved from the back of the head to all over. What are your thoughts. I am on 3 different blood pressure medications and I am also on testostorone replacement. When my blood work was last done my test levels were at 950 and I have a slightly elevated Igf-1 level of 237. I am 50 years old
Brief Answer:
get some investigations evaluation and med advise
Detailed Answer:
Hi Fitness....
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
The headache you have mentioned can be a tension headache related to day to day strain.
It may be related to uncontrolled blood pressure if that is the case.
Eye injection and generalised headache may also be indicative of serious infections of brain like meningitis.
Some times dengue fever may present like this.
The testosterone and IGF are not likely offenders.
You should get investigated, complete blood counts, renal function test and dengue serology and I'd needed a CT scan of brain may be helpful.
You should get a clinical evaluation by a physician of your locality.
I hope the advise will be helpful for you.
