headache

so for the past 3 years ive had horrible migraines and a throbbing in the lower part of my head. my left eye gets all blurry and is always drooping. Most people dont notice it because its slight to them or i strain my eye so that it isnt drooping. anyways i just want to know what wrong up there in my head. ive seen doctors and they just brush it off and send me away and say nothings wrong. one doctor said i had a sinus infection and theres nothing he can do. but i dont think that this is just a sinus infection. i just want some answers. pleas help me

a droopy eyelid in Medicine is called Ptosis. such symptom shouldn't be dismissed with nothing.

it indicated almost certainly a Neurological problem. I don't mean to scare you, maybe it's temporary, from an infection or immunological problem but still you need to have a Neurological check up.

there's a simple test you can do at home, ask someone in you family to test you for it, it's called the Romberg's test: stand up straight with feet joined together toe to toe, look straight ahead, lean your arms forward palms up, stay still then close your eyes. if you wobble while your eyes are closed it's a positive result.
