Have you ever had a headache so intense that your eye started hurting?

Yes.  It is common with sever headaches.  The eye is actually an extension of the brain, so when your head hurts, it can transmit easily to your eyes.  It's not a symptom of anything worse than the headache though, so don't worry.

It sounds like you're experiencing a migraine aura, but you really should get it checked out with your eye doctor ASAP to make sure that it isn't a retinal detachment.

it's a headache.  there are a lot of different kinds of headache (migraine, stress/anxiety, icepick, etc...)  it's probably one of the more severe kinds if he is feeling it a lot and intensely.  I've found that people that don't experience bad headaches have NO IDEA what it's like to have real pain in their head. I've gotten serious headaches since I was a kid, and my mother was just diagnosed with "perpetual migraine" which means she is constantly in pain.  Both of us have localized pain -(mine is on the left side, and usually behind my eye. sometimes it will travel to the right side, but is never on both sides at the same time). Tell your friend to see a doctor, there are pills available for certain types of headaches (although sometimes nothing works but a dark room and sleep).  good luck :)

The Symptoms are an eye infection. You would find mucus and/or redness of the eyes. Ask for a check up with your eye Doctor. If you think you have an eye infection, stop using all eye care products immediately including contact lenses. (stick with glasses till you see your Dr.)\nThe Constant tension headaches sound serious. You should see a regular Dr. The throbbing (or as you call them contractions) is the veins in your neck and head constricting. Any time you have symptoms that are reoccurring, or that last more than 48 hrs you should see a Dr. Go to the local walk in or call your primary care for a appointment. Mean while drink lots of water to help minimize pain. Make sure not to take any thing that can mask symptoms at the time of visit (like Motrin which can thin the blood and hide the pain)

See your doctor but ... I used to get a lot of headaches.  It was caused by the sun reflecting off paper where I worked.  The optician (thief) suggested tinted glasses because he said I was also long sighted.  I bought the glasses and the headaches went.  Then winter came i.e. no sun, and I stopped wearing the glasses.  It's only now, 27 years later, and never wearing those glasses again that I am very, very slightly short sighted.  This is probably no help to you just wanted to get it off my chest.  p.s.  I've had eye tests regularly over the years and my eyes have been perfect.

I've noticed that the headaches come because my eye muscles tire from seeing the same object the same distance away.\n\nEvery 15 or 20 minutes stop looking at the monitor and look at something else say 15 feet away. If you are near a window, look out over the horizon. Do this for about 30 seconds or so. This will relax your eye muscles.\n\nAlso remember to drink a lot of water. Stay off the sugar and caffeine drinks. Make sure your desk and chair is adjusted correctly. Some headaches could occur because you are straining your neck because your monitor is positioned incorrectly.

I was having them daily for a while about a year ago. At first I had no idea what was going on I thought I was going blind or something. The worst part about it is how fatigued you feel. It also causes serious issues with driving when you frequently have ocular migraines. I talked to an optometrist and found out extended amounts of physical activity can trigger an ocular migraine. I have since toned down my work out and haven't had an ocular migraine since.

Only if you hit yourself in the eye too hard.

If you made it through the night and didnt slip into a coma you are probably over the worst of it. If the pain continues beyond a few days, or worsens go to the ER directly.\n\nIts unlikely but you may have fractured your skull, although i imagine that if you did the pain would send you without question to the hospital. However, a small hairline fracture could get worse from swelling, causing more swelling and pain. \n\nIts probable that you suffered a minor consusion, the pain is cause by the tissue that surounds your brain being swollen and irritated from your brain jiggling around. \n\nmore likely than nothing its just a bump on the head that will clear itself up just fine. Your vision shold remain the same, the pain should disapate over the next day or so, and your pupils should be the same size and contract with exposed to light at the same rate.\n\nYoure on the right track with the motrin, avoid asprin and tylenol. asprin causes bleeding and keeps you from clotting, and tylenol wont reduce swelling.\n\nI would make an appointment with a doctor, i doubt you have cause you rush to the ER as you are right now, but having the doc check your eyes and responces couldnt hurt.\n\nThe bump on your forehead is normal, its just a "goose egg" it'll turn purple and yellow and all sorts of icky colors, it'll probably be tender for a while.\n\nusually the first night after a sever bump to the head is the scariest, but youre past that already. just monitor your pain, and have a doc look at you if youre worried. \n\n:) get some rubber stickies for your shower!

You could need glasses. I am going thru the same thing now. I would visit your doctor, then your eye doctor and then maybe a neurologist. Many different things could be causing this. You could be smelling something everyday that's giving you a headache. Try this. Bath & Body Works makes a roll-on peppermint oil for headaches and upset stomaches. It has helped tremendously with the headaches I have been having. It is about 10 dollars. worth every penny. Good luck!

Is it hurting in the eye/sinus/forehead area? then it's probably sinus. If it if a one sided pain with tunnel vision, flashing lights, naseau, weakness, it's probably a migraine. If there is a burning muscular pain in the back of the head or the top, it may be vision. Do you have problems seeing things up close/far away/reading etc.? Ofcourse, I'm no MD by any means, and I'm sure that you need a proper medical diagnoses.

Traditional theories about headaches link tension type headaches to muscle contraction, and migraine and cluster headaches to blood vessel dilation (swelling). Pain-sensitive structures in the head include blood vessel walls, membranous coverings of the brain, and scalp and neck muscles. Brain tissue itself has no sensitivity to pain. Therefore, headaches may result from contraction of the muscles of the scalp, face or neck; dilation of the blood vessels in the head; or brain swelling that stretches the brain’s coverings. Involvement of specific nerves of the face and head may also cause characteristic headaches. Sinus inflammation is a common cause of headache. Keeping a headache diary may help link headaches to stressful occurrences, menstrual phases, food triggers, or medication. Tension-type headaches are often brought on by stress, overexertion, loud noise, and other external factors. The typical tension-type headache is described as a tightening around the head and neck, and an accompanying dull ache. Migraines are intense throbbing headaches occurring on one or both sides of the head. The pain is accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, and aversion to light, sound, and movement.\nMigraines are often triggered by food items, such as red wine, chocolate, and aged cheeses. For women, a hormonal connection is likely, since headaches occur at specific points in the menstrual cycle, with use of oral contraceptives, or the use of hormone replacement therapy after menopause. Cluster headaches cause excruciating pain. The severe, stabbing pain centers around one eye, and eye tearing and nasal congestion occur on the same side. The headache lasts from 15 minutes to four hours and may recur several times in a day. Heavy smokers are more likely to suffer cluster headaches, which are also associated with alcohol consumption.

Most headaches around the eyes are one of two types - either migraine, or sinus headache; you may be able to determine which one it is likely to be by the following:  \n\nA migraine headache is virtually entirely on one side of the head; it is often accompanied by nausea, and sensitivity to light and/or sound.  Some people experience an "aura" shortly before the migraine begins; it can be visual, auditory, or even olfactory (sense of smell).  A migraine is often helped by being in a cool, dark room, and often disappears after a period of sleep.  The causes of migraines are not fully understood, but there are prescription medications that can help; ibuprofen helps some people, but usually it doesn't do much.  Some people also respond to medications or liquids containing caffeine.\n\nSinus headaches behave differently. Generally, the pain is on both sides of the face, and often worst near the cheekbones or around the eyes.  Light or sound generally have little if any effect on the headache.  Cool surroundings often make the sufferer feel worse; warm compresses or a heating pad often help.  Sinus headaches generally respond well to ibuprofen or Tylenol, particularly if combined with sudafed/pseudoephedrine (like Tylenol Sinus formula or a similar medication). \n\nIf either one of these sounds familiar, then check with your doctor - particularly if it is a migraine, as the only really effective migraine medications are prescription-only preparations.  Even if none of the above sounds familiar, it sounds to me like it's time to see your doctor.  Good luck!

Sounds like whatever was in your eye may have scratched it. I got a metal sliver in my eye at work once, and they had to "grind" it out. My eye was sore for a week!!

Yes you can have eye tumours\nhttp://eyetumor.wustl.edu/about%20eye%20tumors.htm\n\nYour symptoms sound more like tension headaches but the safe thing would be to have a check up. See your doctor/GP or an ophthalmologist/eye specialist
