I have had a headache for the past 2-3 weeks it is a sweeping or tightening feeling mostly in the crack of my head. I also have at times pain in my neck. The pain sometimes is around the front around my eye socket and ear area (right side) never been allergic but have had the sniffles. The pain worsens when I bend down or look down. I am in my 50s

Hello
I share your concern
Looking at your history this could be due to cluster headache, cervical spondylitis, refractory error of eye or sinusitis
I would like to know since how long you have this problem?
I would advise you for a few investigation like blood for hemoglobin CBC, X ray PNS (paranasal sinuses), X ray cervical spine, MRI and MRV
You can take ibuprofen for headache
Try to identify trigger for headache and correct it accordingly
Hope this answers your question
thanks and regards
