Sharp Pain In Eye And Jaw, What It Could Be ?

Hello,

About 3 weeks ago I had blurred vision for about 3 days straight, I don't use glasses only when I spend too much time on the computer, but that wasn't the case at the moment.

Today while I was in the shower, I got a sharp pain in my right eye brow, it went all the way to my jaw, and I felt my jaw tense up ( only on my right side )

I do get migranes, and I've been getting them since I was about 9 years old, but this has never happend to me..

Any ideas on what it could be?? your help will be much apreciated.

thank you, Elizabeth.

The need for the treatment is only when the symptoms are recurrent and persisting.  You can ignore these symptoms if the are non recurrent or not persisting...
