I Have Had Severe Headache, Balance And Cognitive Defects

I have had severe headache and balance and cognitive things...My headache kind of exploded with stars on my left side. Now I have a noticeable vein on my face starting on the top side going into side of my eye then curving down. It was bulging now just looks like a marker on my face was drawing

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having headache with enlarged vein on the face on the side of the eye.
If it is painful and the vein is present on the temple temporal arteritis needs to be ruled out.
The chances are more in elderly individuals with systemic symptoms like myalgia and severe body pains.
Hence I suggest you for a examination with your doctor to rule out temporal arteritis.


Thank you
