hi, I don't have any issues as listed above. I have this kind of head ache since one or two months back. also I had bad chest congestion a month back then it became normal after taking medicine. I do wear contact lens regularly. And I guess I get his kind if head and eye pain when I don't get proper sleep and enough rest.

Detailed Answer:
hello

Thank you for getting back with the answers. The symptoms you gave are suggestive of stress headache. If i were your treating doctor then i would have advised following things:

- Acetaminophen thrice a day for 3 days
- take at least 7-8 hrs sleep per day.
- Take 30-45 mins walk in the evening. it will keep you fresh and healthy
- get your eye sight checked once. sometimes if lens # is changed then it can also cause headache.

Hope you will see improvement in 2-3 days BUT if condition remains same or aggravates then you need to visit hospital for further workup.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
