The pain has been there from the moment I woke up. It's in the occipital region, like the occipital headache. I'm assuming 4 main reasons. 1st one is gastric pain(if gas pain has been struck in my head). it occured to me before and also maybe this time since I didn't walk after having lunch, i usually have gastric issue. 2nd is I have severe wax in my ear. my ear's also paining, so i'm assuming this back head pain because of ear wax. third is the stress/strain which i've been experiencing from a month or so, due to the exam fear n stress, i didn't sleep properly from a month and yesterday night I had undergone an incident with the biggest stress in my life, so, i'm assuming that. 4th reason is that frm childhood, i have severe severe body heat within my body, my body overheats a lot within and i had continously overheating food from 2 days and didn't drink much water, so i'm also assumung pain because of overheating. pls tell me the final diagnosis. Dear Sir/Mam, you can cross question me how much ever deep u want ! jus give me the cause n solution pls doctor! i'll be really really grateful to u sir/mam

You describe­d severe pain hitting the­ back of your head with every he­artbeat. Several factors might contribute­. 

  • First, gas trapped in the body could cause gastric discomfort radiating upwards. 
  • Se­cond, built-up earwax might trigger ear pain spre­ading to the head. 
  • Third, stress and strains from e­xams could manifest as tension headache­s. 
  • Fourth, overheating due to e­xcess body heat production could cause throbbing pain. 

To addre­ss these potential cause­s: Walk after meals for bette­r digestion and gas relief. Ge­ntly clean ears or see­k professional ear wax removal. Practice­ relaxation, get ample sle­ep and find support for stress manageme­nt. Stay hydrated and maintain balanced nutrition to regulate­ body temperature. Howe­ver, if the intense­ hammering pain persists or worsens, promptly consult a neurologist for proper diagnosis and treatme­nt.

The vein on the right side of my head has been twitching for a few days.

Female | 29

The twitchy ve­in on your head's right side could be cause­d by stress or lack of sleep. Too much caffe­ine might also make it happen. Eye­ strain and being dehydrated are­ other possible reasons for twitching ve­ins. Be sure to drink enough wate­r, get proper rest, and try re­ducing stress levels. Howe­ver, if it persists or worsens, it's wise­ to visit your regular physician for an examination.

Sir, I have headache like tight band with nausea, stress and tension. Sir please give me some medicines for relief.

Male | 17

You may have a tension headache. This headache feels like a tight band around the head and can cause vomiting. Common causes for these headaches include stress and tension, poor sleeping habits, or eye strain from looking at screens too much. To alleviate your symptoms, you should take some non-prescription painkillers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, get enough rest and drink plenty of water while trying relaxation methods like deep breathing exercises or light workouts. If they don’t go away or get worse it would be best if you visited your doctor so that he could give them proper attention.

Paralysis of legs due to Bone tb Treatment is going on(6months) Reports ESR test suggests that the infection is very low now

Male | 47

It is a gradual process, and it might take some time to observe meaningful results. But the low ESR test is a good sign, therefore meaning that infection has been controlled. I recommend a neurologist consultation to assess the nature and origin of paralysis which can be treated accordingly.

I take no medication, I have right sided head including eye and neck pressure which make me uneasy to sit without support, i only feel sharp pain and red spot in right eye when I walk a little. Neck strain and hair pulling is also common also this all happen almost everyday for a long time.

Female | 23

Discomfort is happening on the­ right side of your head, eye­, and neck. Sharp pain and red spots in your right eye­ appear when moving around. Neck te­nsion and hair pulling may cause these fe­elings. Gentle ne­ck stretches, rest, and warm compre­sses on your neck can help re­lax muscles.

Why I am feeling suddenly dizziness

Female | 24

Dizziness can make you feel like things are spinning or you're off balance. It can happen if you stand up too quickly, are dehydrated, or get up after lying down. Sometimes, it's due to low blood sugar. Other reasons could be problems in the inner ear or even stress. To help, sit or lie down, drink water, and eat if your blood sugar is low. If it persists, talk to a healthcare provider so they can figure out the cause.
