Pressure headaches with light sensitivity and base of skull pain every day. can hypermobile c spine cause this? and exercises to help?ehlers danlos 3
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible cause: Physical therapy may be helpful, but for light sensitivity the problem may be ocular and a visit with your Opthalimologist or an Optometrist for a retinal examination is suggested. The pressure headaches may be due to muscular strain. Apply local heat to the base of the skull and please see your PCP. Watch for worsening, vomiting, difficulty with visual acuity and wear sunglasses when outdoors.
