I have been having a lot of pressure in my head, mostly in the front of my head in my eye area..right above my tear ducts I get swelling in both sacs in the inside of both eyes. I also have pain in my joints like my fingers, my knees, my feet and ankles. I am a chef and I am on my feet 8 hours at a time. I was also hospitalized 9 months ago with severe headache. I was checked for a stroke/aneurism. Everything came back negative but I still have symptoms of these pressure headaches
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As you have headache, this looks to me like an inflammation of the sinus duct. Which we called it as sinusitis. There are numerous sinus duct in that area and any inflammation to it causes such headaches which are not bearable. The joint pains are related to the Repetitive Stress Injury - we call it as RSI. This occurs due to repetition of movements and leading to trauma foe the joint. Performing a regular physical exercise Should help you get rid of the joint aches and pain. Also, you can perform some strengthening exercises like weight training to get maximum muscle torque. As for sinusitis I feel you work as a cook and the fumes coming in the kitchen during cooking is leading to inflammation of the sinuses. Using a nasal mask while cooking should help avoid some. Do regular breathing exercises which will help improve the oxygen content in the blood and may help to avoid inflammation of the sinuses leading to headaches. Also, oxygen therapy should also give a positive impact on overall health. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.
