Can eye strain cause this pain im feeling?

Question

I should have glasses but i dont use them.

I am on computer ALOT.

Today i have had pain in back of neck and under and above my left eye. Also my left temple and left ear.

I am the biggest hyprocondract in the world.

I am going to docter tomarrow but its 4am so dont scare me to bad lol

Answer 1

it's probably allergies but if you prop yourself up with your hand on the side of your face while you browse around then that might cause it

Answer 2

if one pupil is dilated more than the other I would say yes it's eye strain.

Wear your glasses dummy.

I had glasses at 18 years old didn't wear them my eyesight could have been corrected, now I am much older and depend on the darn things.

Don't be stupid like I was.

Answer 3

Well it could be eyestrain. It could be allergies.  It could be an inoperable brain tumor.  It could be a million things!  I wouldn't try to diagnose it, I'm not even a doctor.

But those symptoms are consistent with eyestrain.  On the computer you strain more than your eyes, you can get pains in your wrists, back, neck, etc., from sitting in the same position for a long time and typing.

If you get up, stretch your limbs, move your head around on your neck, get up and walk around a bit, or even go outside for a while and get some fresh air.  If you do that and the pains get better then yes, it was probably just eyestrain and computer problems.

Answer 4

I have to say it's the allergies and you being on the computer a lot. Get some exercise if you can and try eating healthier. Right now I'm trying to get myself together of 4 years of basically just sitting in front of the computer. Gained weight, immunity system weakened, etc.
