1 Pressing pains

Causes of pressing headaches that give the eye, as already mentioned, can be very diverse - from malaise to serious illnesses. Why does my head hurt in my head? Let's consider the main reasons.

Migraine headaches are characterized by a partial loss of sensitivity of the hands and feet, the appearance of unpleasant sensations in bright light and in contact with water. To facilitate migraines, doctors advise to observe peace, eat fully and have more rest.

Pressure drops often cause a headache. The increase in cranial pressure almost inevitably leads to pressing pain. Changes in intracranial pressure are determined only in hospital by magnetic resonance imaging. The pressure inside the skull can be determined based on the analysis of the puncture taken. To treat headaches caused by intracranial hypertension, it is necessary to eliminate the cause, that is, normalize the pressure. This is achieved by the method of rejecting the exciting products: alcohol, coffee and various power engineers. Normalize the pressure and help diuretic drugs. Deviations in this case are clearly visible by the characteristic pattern of the fundus, while the cause of the headache is determined by the ophthalmologist.

Trauma and concussion of the brain, leading to the formation of internal hematomas, is one of the causes of headaches. Confirm the diagnosis can be using magnetic resonance imaging with the use of computer diagnostics. Hematoma can be eliminated only during a surgical operation.

To characteristic headaches leads sinusitis. The main signs of maxillary sinusitis are increased lachrymation, reduced sense of smell, frequent conditions of chills;the head hurts not only in the eye area, but also in the temporal and frontal.

• tomography of cervical spine;
• angiography with contrast agents;
• ophthalmic examination of the bottom of the eyeball.

The tomography of the brain determines the presence of neoplasms, the state of blood supply. This method allows you to determine the presence of damage, for example, after suffering head injuries, injuries or brain concussions, as well as to identify the accumulation of liquids.

Tomography of the spine is used to study the spinal cord for the presence of tumors, a predisposition to the intervertebral hernia.

Angiography is also performed by magnetic resonance imaging, when it is carried into the blood, contrast substances are injected. So it is possible to diagnose an aneurysm( thinning of the walls of arteries) and stenotic changes in blood vessels( areas of constriction of blood vessels).

The oculist plays, probably, the main role in the diagnosis of headaches, which give pressing sensations in the eye.
