What Is The Cause Of Headaches, Eye Pain And Tightness In Back?
I am tired all the time to the point where its difficult to keep my eyes open. I am getting very bad headaches and normal pain killers are not reducing the pain. My neck and back are also very tight and achy. I am lactose intolerant and a pescatarian. I am 27 years old and a female. I also exercise 3 times a week.

Hello,
Since you have neck and back pain associated with tightness, you may be suffering from neck and cervical spine disorders. Cervicogenic headaches (C2-C3 vertebrae may be affected) may arise from the problems in the neck. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP, get X-ray, CT / MRI and few blood workouts done to detect prolapse disc, OA, etc.
Your treating doctor may suggest investigations for your lumbar spine as well. You will be treated with conservative treatment (NSAIDS, muscle relaxants, anti depressants, etc), physical therapy, nerve blocks, neuro-modulation, etc depending on the pathology detected. In the meantime, stay away from stress and anxiety, take adequate water and sleep well.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
