For 8 months plagued with headache

Posted By Mike (Richland, Ga) on 06/18/2012

I woke up 8 months ago with a mild headache on the left side of my head. I took 2 asprin and it was gone till the next morning. Its now been 8 months 2 motrin or Aleve will last 8 to 10 hrs. Sometimes 1 asprin chewed up makes it go away in min. Whenever my heart rate goes up my headaches get worse. Like from exercise. I have had MRI and Cat scan. I have been to 2 nuro. One said TMJ and the other said pinched nerve. The less I do the less it hurts. I am a very active person. Starts at the base of the skull on the left side. Hurts above left ear then at its peak, left side on top of head and above the left ear. Doesn't seem to bother me at night.

It could be something from your left ear, you can try 3-4 drops of polisporin, neosporin cream with 3 antibiotics in your ear. I've done ear cleaning with h2o2 and had incredible pain all the left side, I didn't realize at the beginning where the pain was coming from. Might work, give it a try.

Here is I would first go to a doctor or ENT request a nasal smear, skip that costly CAT scan. You want to determine what is growing in your sinuses. My daughter has sinus issues for years head ache stomach ache sinus pressure. After years of seeing and MD we changed to an ND her first visit they did a nasal smear. The cause must be determined before you treat. Then the specific type of bacteria was treated it was so logical... For her ears we used garlic mullein oil for a three months that got rid of dizziness. Now she is fine. I hope that helps.
