What Causes Headache And Pain Behind The Eyes?

Woke up middle of the night with severe headache emanating from behind right eye. I have no history of headaches. Condition improved the following day, but still mild headache, more noticeable behind right eye when I move eyes to far right/left/up and down. Leaving on trip in 3 days. Should I visit urgent care physician? Age 69 (healthy). email: YYYY@YYYY Thank you

Hi welcome to the health care magic

You are having headache with retro orbital pain that could be from viral flu infection...

But still as you have trip after three days consult physician for examination and following work up.....
-CBC
-Auscultation
-ASO titre if needed

If congestive symptoms associated than decongestant can be given

If needed neurological examination also done

Lack of sleep, hypoglycemia, irregular meal, smoking, stress etc are also some causes that should be corrected

Consult physician for examination
