Dull Pain Above Eye. Suffering From Mild Tinnitus. Taking Anti Convulsants. Suggestion?
I have a constant dull pain above my left eye - almost like a bruise . However at times this becomes a headache that can last from a day, two days or a week. There is no reason (eg stress , computer usage, foods, sleep etc) Nothing moves the pain. Sinus has been suggested. As have many other things. Im also now suffering from mild tinnutus. I take anti convulsants and now take citalipram. The headaches are draining but Im concerned theres something worse casuing them.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
From your symptoms, it seems you have migraines. These headaches can last from 4 to 72 hours, and are accompanied by nausea, vomiting, increased sensitivity to light or noise.
You may be started on anti-migraine medications.
However, if there is no improvement, then, an MRI scan of brain should be done to exclude nay internal brain problems.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
