Getting Frequent Pains Above The Eye. Feeling Dizzy And Heavy. Need To Be Concerned?
I have recently started getting a headace 4-6 times a day on my left side above my eyes it s always in the same spot. Earlier while squating down to play with my son, I had kind of like white strobe lights in the corner of my eye when I looked straight but it would go away when I would try and look at it. Now my head just feels heavy and I feel slightly dizzy... Should I be concerned?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your symptoms are not something to be concerned of, but they require evaluation. Symptoms suggest a vascular headache, and pain and dizziness could be part of that.
You also require a detailed evaluation by an ophthalmologist and a neurologist.
In the meanwhile, you can take analgesics such as ibuprofen for pain relief.
I hope it helps.
Best wishes,
