What Causes Headaches Above The Forehead?

I am suffering with headaches on the top front of my head just above the forehead, i have had sinus scans all clear, i am at my wits end all i keep thinking is brain tumor, i am taking co codamol which does ease it but when it wears off i m back to square 1 again, i have seen my gp but he doesn t seem too impressed about my frequent visits, until this i maybe went to the doctors once a year, i just don t know what to do i am at breaking point.

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Headache is a very common problem. It can occur due to several reasons. Treatment of headache depend on its cause.

I would like to consider multiple possibilities in your case in following hierarchy:
• Stress and Anxiety disorder: Many time fear of brain tumor may related to anxiety.
• Migraine
• High blood pressure: So monitor your BP.
• Infection of teeth/ear/nasal cavity
• Visual problem
• Neurological problem: may need MRI brain

It is better to get yourself evaluated by general physician to rule out above causes and then seek consultation according to his recommendation. Till that time you can take analgesic to reduce pain.

Wish you good health and all the best.
