Feel Heavy Headed Behind Eyes And Lethargic Mainly While Using Computer. Cure?
I seem to feel heavy headed and very lethargic often now. It s always been there, especially after having a huge meal, but now it seems to come on very often... even when I m lying in bed and reading or working on the computer. It also tends to pop up when I m in College... but I don t really notice it if I m really engaged in something. Sometimes this really interferes with my work and studies now.. Oh and it happens a lot specially if I m using a computer. Also the heavy headed feeling is mostly concentrated behind the eyes... Anything I can do?

Hello dear...
All these symptom indicate that you might be having Computer Vision Syndrome.
So...to get relief, you should avoid looking continuously at the screen.
Give rest to your eyes for 2 min in every half hour, splash cold water.
Another reason of concern may be due to different refractive power in both the eyes.
So...if the symptoms still persist, it will be better to consult your Ophthalmologist & get a refractory check done.
Wishing you a Good Health. Let me know if I need to clarify further.
Thanks and Take care.

Hi,
Headache after excess computer use is not uncommon.
Headache may be due to various reasons like tension, migraine, refractive error, mental stress, strain on eye or any organic causes in nervous system.
Meal should not be huge.
It should be light & frequent.
During computer use
1. Move your sight every 10-15 mins.
2. Keep at least 40 cm distances
3. Use protective cover over the monitor
Check your power of eyes.
Try to tension free.
Have a consultation with doctor.
Good luck.
