Terrible Headaches Of Varying Sensitivity Throughout The Day, Burning Pain Around The Eyes With Sensitive Spots On Temples, MRI Negative For Sinus, Suspicion Of Cluster Headache
For the past 4 months i have been having horrible headaches . I wake with them and have them throughout the day. I have extremely sensitive spots on temples that comes and goes and most of my pain is located around my eyes. My headaches tend to move, not located in on spot in particular. Sometimes its on right side, sometimes on left, but always in the front. It feels like sinus pressure but after 3 months of antibiotics and a sinus ct scan that came back negative im out of luck. The pain is best described as a burning sensation. It can be very severe at times, but other times its just a normal achy headache. I have a headache for 3/4 or more of everyday. My Dr thinks it may be cluster headaches but i havent had a mri or ct other than sinus to rule antything out. Any thoughts? Im beginning to feel hopeless like the pain will never go away!

Hi there,
Your doctor could be right. The symptoms fit in with the criteria required for the diagnosis of a cluster headache.Any history of watery eyes and watery nose? There are medications available to control the headache and there are preventive methods also. What has your doctor suggested to you? Another option is to learn and practise yoga from a well reputed ,good yoga teacher. People have reported disappearance of headaches after doing yoga. However, this will take time.
Hope this helps :)
