Question 1

does eye strain cause temple pain?

Accepted Answer

It can.: There are many different things that can cause headaches so the first thing to do is to make sure that the eye strain is the reason. Muscles inside the eyes contract when near work (like reading) is being performed. Prolonged periods of such contraction can lead to eye strain and headaches which can radiate to the temples; glasses can support the muscles so they don't have to work as hard.

Question 2

waiting to see a new dr. can low b12 cause one eye and temple pain, tingling on face, and lightheadedness?

Accepted Answer

VitB12 Neuropathy: Peripheral neuropathy associated with Vitamin B12 deficiency was first described in 1958. The distribution of the nerves involved in your symptoms corresponds to all three divisions of the Trigeminal 5th cranial nerve. These symptoms might also be caused by MS and also resemble auras described by patients with classic migraine headaches. I would scan your head!

Question 3

what are some causes of temple pain on one side sometimes behind the eye. sometimes it switches sides (20m)? it's happening for a week now?

Accepted Answer

: Temple pain on one side, sometimes behind the eye, can be caused by several factors: Migraines, Tension Headaches, cluster headaches, and dental disorders. It is important to see a doctor if you experience frequent or severe temple pain, as it could be a sign of a more serious condition.

Question 4

have left facial and temple pain and right vision loss in one eye opthamologist can find no cause she says my eye is healthy can you help ?

Accepted Answer

Could be serious.: Was the vision loss sudden? If so, you should consider this an ophthalmological emergency.  You could have a problem with the circulation to the eye (retinal artery), or optic nerve. Loss of vision should never be considered normal, unless it is simply a refractive problem requiring corrective lenses.  I highly suggest you get another opinion from another opthamologist.

Question 5

eye pain, temple pain every day.  ive heard sinnutis does that. if so what otc med help it? anything else could it be?

Accepted Answer

Pain: More likely a neuralgia. Those two areas are linked by the trigeminal nerve. May be a dental in origin. warm compresses, soft diet, ibuprofen will help but start by seeing your dentist

Question 6

i think i have bad eye strain, but i also have temple pain. are these related?

Accepted Answer

Poosibly: There are many different things that can cause headaches so the first thing to do is to make sure that the eye strain is the reason. Musles inside the eyes contract when near work (like reading) is being performed. Prolonged periods of such contraction can lead to eye strain and headaches which can radiate to the temples; glasses can support the muscles so they don't have to work as hard.

Question 7

for the past year, i've been having pain on left side of my head. recently, i've also been having left temple pain and behind left eye. any thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Headache; sinusitis: Head pain with pain behind the eye can be due to a few things. By far the most common is a change in the blood flow to that area in the form of a migraine or headache. Since sinuses surround the eye, it could also be sinusitis. Rarely a mass (benign/not cancer; malignant/cancer) can cause such symptoms. Your md will be able to examine for other signs and may suggest a scan if needed.

Question 8

what is the best medicine to treat mild headache... i have mild left temple pain and tiredness after eid?and also have a mild  pain in shoulders and also slight behind eyes

Accepted Answer

Mild headache: I don't know what "eid" is? Acetaminophen can be very helpful for mild to moderate headaches. Because of musculoskeletal pain consider warm shower with flow of water towards neck and shoulders.

Question 9

i have had severe head pain, 2 past strokes right side. today severe left temple pain then sharp severe right eye pain.  concerns

Accepted Answer

Stroke: in a relatively young person associated with eye pain obviates a work up for arteritis / vasculitis if not already done. Disease activity can be checked with a simple test like a C Reactive Protein or Erythrocyte sedimentation rate.  Treatment might require steroids. CT angiography or MR angiography is often part of the work up. Use of hydrazine for BP control requires absolute compliance.

Question 10

i keep having on and off pain behind, in front and above left ear. left temple pain and left eye pain, occasionally. only lasts a few seconds.

Accepted Answer

Couple of ideas: These could be ice pick headaches (are they sharp?), or they could be related to SUNCT syndrome, or they could be related to blood flow (does chewing make the temple feel worse?).  So far, there is not enough information to decide, but these are some ideas.
