A member asked:

What to do if i have a headache on the left side around my eye socket and i wanted to know what causes it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anything: Headaches can come from fatigue, sleeping too much or too little, eye strain, sleep apnea, snoring, being dehydrated, having chronic sinusitis or allergies, too much caffeine or over the counter headache medication, high blood pressure or something more serious like a tumor. See your doctor and get checked.
