Headache every day

[Jessie]

For three months now I have been plagued with a headache every day/night, it has not gone away.  Sometimes I get sharp pains above my left eye and at the left temple.  Along with this I have been terribly tired and also have gained weight, also have constant ringing in my ears.  I have made an appt with my family doctor, I am wondering, while during this appt, are there certain tests or questions I should be sure are done/asked by myDr?  Also, what can I do to make sure everything is being done to help diagnose my problem?

Thank you for your time.
Jessie

Dear Jim:

I am sorry about your headaches.  Without doing the history and physicial examination it is difficult for me to tell you much about your headaches.  Hypertension can be a source of headaches and sometimes by normalizing the blood pressure can help headaches.  The normal tests are reassuring that your not having something terrible about to happen.  I would suggest that you hang tight until seeing a neurologist and seeing what the exam shows and some basic lab work.

Sincerely,

I have been sat here reading these for ages. I to have had headaches for 3 years . I have had a CT scan and LP .the last bad
headache resulted in being admited to hospital for 2 weeks and being put on a drip. Now my legs dont work {for the 3rd time}
the muscles have given up the gohst, dont know why. I am waiting for tests.
anyway enough of my whittering. Im from england and its good to know that you americans have the same problems as we do.
It is reasuring to know that Im not alone so if you read this,just picture me in the poring rain {it always rains here}walking as if I am in the process of giving birth. Or a duck with piles.{this is how I now walk}

seconds, they can put man on the moon.BUT THEY CAN'T FIND THE CAUSE OF A HEADACHE, GOOD EH ?

I am 43 yr old man with hypothyroid and hypertension.
Have also been told that I snore.
My headaches started about 15 yrs ago and grown worse.
Now they are constant, even affecting sleep now.
Have missed 4 days of work in last week.
One day went to my doctor's office and received shots of Toradol and Vistaril.
Yesterday I spent at local hospital ER.
While there, they did blood work and CAT scan.
Both returned normal.
ER doctor referred me to local neurologist.
Earliest appt I can get is 6 wks out.
Some doctors can't see anyone for 5 mos!
Please help - this is affecting my life.

Sincerely,
Jim
