Headache advice please!

[Buckle16]

I'm wondering if someone can help me out.
Two months ago I started getting these weird sensations in my head usually on both sides at the front. They were tingling sensations and would last seconds and reoccur often during the day but I didn't really worry that much.
The more they appeared the concerned I got and I was convinced I had a brain tumour. Now my symptoms are pressure along forehead and eyes. I was perceived steroid for sinuses but it didn't help. Sometimes I get a strain in neck and the pain can change.
I often find that one day it's my eye that's feeling pressure and along my ear. Then the next it's the top of my head that's hurting/tingling feeling. I want to note it's all one side and only one eye that I'm feeling pressure in. Sometimes I'll get these short pulses/throbbing sensation in the other side too but that's seldom, it's mainly on the one side.
I'm really worrying about it and I'm totally stressed out that it's something awful like a brain tumour , it's all I think about.
I got glasses two months ago for seeing things far away and sometimes when I wear them the feeling is less. I'm wondering if someone can help me out? I haven't been sick or nauseous. I feel ok apart from the headaches etc. sometimes I feel dizzy when I'm really worried about it all. I'm getting a ct scan on Wednesday. I am always googling my symptoms and wanting some guidance as I'm just so fed up with this. I get to the point where I get so worried I start to cry about it. I never have had headaches before this and I live a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and eating habits.

Hi and welcome to the Migraines & Headaches Community.

It sounds like typical migraine behavior. All the "funny feelings" you are getting are called an aura which can occur before, during or after a migraine. It is all very normal and there are a few tricks you can try to help alleviate the symptoms. Try the following tips and if they do not work alone then you may need to request some preventative meds from the doctor.

1. There are several symptoms of migraines and what causes the pain of a migraine is the blood vessels in your brain become dilated. So, sometimes it helps it you put a bit of pressure on your head. I am sure you have already been doing this unconsciously with your hands from time to time. So, get a bandanna or a cloth headband and wrap it snugly around your head.
2. If you rub Mentholatum across your forehead and on your temples that helps relax those tense muscles. You can do this with or without the wrap, depending on if you like the heat or not.
3. Try either a cold or hot pack, whichever is more comfy to you.
4. The best OTC meds that I have found that works is Excedrin. It is a combo of Aspirin, Tylenol and Caffeine and that happens to be an excellent combo for migraines.
5. I mentioned caffeine before...well, drink coffee, Mt Dew, take Vivirin...sometimes a mega dose of caffeine will stop it in its tracks.
6. If you get nauseous or dizzy get some Meclizine from the pharmacy (the stuff behind the counter) you can take 25mg three times a day as needed. Yes it works on both.

Headaches are almost never dangerous unless they are also accompanied by other symptoms like fever, vomiting, personality change, loss of neurological functions, blurry vision or extremely high blood pressure.

You take a bigger risk crossing the road..

That doesn't mean that headaches can't still be nasty, of coarse..
