I've had a pain in my head/eye that makes my eye water, it feels like a headache but lasts only seconds. Help?

Question

I have a really strange headache problem and every time I have one my eye waters and hurts quite a bit for around 5-10 seconds. If anyone knows what this is can you please tell me because I've had this problem for around 3 months now and even though I only sometimes get them they hurt and are really annoying. Any help is greatly appreciated

Answer 1

Sounds like dry eye to me.  Dry eye can cause intense short bursts of pain in an eye and includes tearing.  Buy over the counter artificial tears (unpreserved are best).  Put one drop in each eye every hour for the first day. You should begin to feel better.  Go to see an eye doctor if this is accompanied by severe redness to the eye or yellowish mucus

Answer 2

Edit: fine I'll tell you a real answer if you freaked out at my first post.

It is most likely a stress headache.  I usually get these when I am most stressed, they often accompany nose bleeds and sore muscles in the morning (my case).

Answer 3

see a doctor about it
