Hello Doctor,
I have been experiencing a severe headache and eye pain. The pain is intense and seems to worsen when I move my eyes or try to focus. What should I do in this situation? Could it be something serious?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. Severe headaches combined with eye pain can sometimes be a sign of conditions like a migraine or cluster headache. Over-the-counter pain relief medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen may help alleviate the discomfort in the short term.
2. However, if you notice that the headaches and eye pain become more frequent or severe over the next 3-6 months, I recommend seeing a specialist. They can conduct a more thorough evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions.
Thanks
