Question 3

i woke up this morning with a sharp pain behind my left eye and the top, front, left side of my head felt all tingly as if it was a sleep. ?

Accepted Answer

Pain and tingling ey: MeK173 ~have you have your BP checked lately. If not this is a good excuse to go in for a check. This may be nothing, but if the pain persists I would see a Dr because this could be raised, blood pressure, simple migraine, eye infection, or early herpes zoster CrVdiv1, which can involve eye. If the HA is gone, watchful waiting but have the BP checked. thanks

Question 4

i have a headache only on one spot on my head. on the left side above my eye. it's a sharp pain and last a few minutes at a time. pain behind left eye?

Accepted Answer

Possible neuralgia: Irritation or inflammation of the nerve can cause this type of headache but other things can as well. Suggest you consult a neurologist. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Question 5

sharp pain on  left side (on top) of head-radiates around left eye and left ear?

Accepted Answer

Have it checked out!: While scalp sensitivity radiating toward an eye or ear may seem benign, some possibilities are more risky and deserve a check up.  Particularly, if there is a possibility of early shingles (a zoster virus flare) or a process called giant cell arteritis (or temporal arteritis) then time is of the essence.  This is especially true with any changes in vision.  Follow up with your primary or eye md.

Question 6

why am i waking up with headache every morning,  usually on one side, back of head & also sharp pain behind left eye. i've woke up really dizzy to. ?

Accepted Answer

Awakening Headache: Cluster, migraine may produce a headache that is present upon awakening. It is important that the doctor first identify and exclude a secondary headache and determine the proper diagnosis. See headache or orofacial pain specialist for evaluation.

Question 7

left side of head occasional fullness and pressure, left ear is clogged, and my left eye has several dark red squiggly lines in the white part of the eye. my left eye feels strained occasionally a sharp pain that lasts several seconds behind that eye?

Accepted Answer

: Sounds most consistent with sinus issues---fullness and pressure. The sinuses surround rhe orbit so "eye pain" is frequent. The red squiggly lines are subconjunctival blood vessels. An evaluation with an ENT with imaging that includes the sinuses and orbit (to rule out orbital pathology) is a good idea.

Question 8

what could be causing this focused, sharp pain on the left side of my left eye?

Accepted Answer

Dry eye treatment: Your description sounds like dry eye.  Initial treatment is frequent artificial tears during the day, ointment at night, warm compresses a few times a day, and omega-3 fatty acid supplements.  If no improvement, you should see an eye doctor for further evaluation.

Question 9

the intense, sharp pain is on my left brain side and comes and goes, and my focus has decreased in my left eye.

Accepted Answer

So sorry: You need to now that your brain does not feel pain. So much more needs to be known about the pain. Does it throb or is it steady. Does it associate with nausea or flashing spots. Did your mother have them. Unfortunately i do not have the answers to any of these. But when you go to see your family doctor he will know exactly what to do.

Question 10

hello,
i am concerned about my left eye twitching for couple of days and i have a sharp pain in my upper left side of my chest?

Accepted Answer

Myokymia: Eyelid twitching is common and benign.  There are no real treatments for this except tincture of time.  Some have found that supplemental calcium helps shorten the episodes.  This is not related to the pain in your chest.  See your primary doctor for that please.
