I tried to ask this under specifically tension headaches, but I'm not sure what it is so I figure trying to get under headaches in general might help. anyway, I've been getting really bad headaches for the last week and a half or so, and nothing I do seems to make them go away. I do have chronic migraines and tension headaches, but even the prescriptions I have for those conditions don't even touch these headaches. There doesn't really seem to be any specific part of my head that hurts during this headache, sometimes it can be the back of the head like attention headache, sometimes it can be up around the temples, sometimes it can be across the forehead, and so on, but besides just being really bad and kind of leading to brain fog, I have noticed an unusual symptom that's really hard to describe, but I'll try. I've noticed when my head hurts like this, it throbes when I close my eyes. sometimes it can be one throb and then it stops, or sometimes it can be a dozen throbs and rapid succession, and then it will stop. but it tends to only happen like that whenever I close my eyes. So like blinking, or closing your eyes cuz you're tired, or trying to take a deep breath to calm yourself down or something, all of that has been leading to this throbbing sensation. I've also noticed that it tends to almost have an auditory element to it. this is the part I have a hard time explaining. I am not hearing an actual sound, but when it throbes my head does something that my brain seems to be interpreting as a sound. it's kind of like this high-pitched fear cord, if you're familiar with video game language. I have also compared it to the iconic shower scene in psycho, and that high pitched note that they hit over and over again right when he's stabbing the girl. For some reason that is the closest thing I can think of to explain what it sounds like. I thought it could be a symptom of my new medications, but I'm at a loss. does anyone have any suggestions at all? I'll take what you think it could be, I'll take things that might help with it, I'm willing to take any advice or suggestions or literally anything at this point.
It's important to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, as your symptoms seem to be different from your usual headaches and migraines. The throbbing sensation when closing your eyes and the auditory element you described might be related to stress or other factors, but only a medical professional can provide accurate advice.
