AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a user expressing concern about persistent and unusual symptoms, including a two-month headache, severe migraines, neck and jaw pain, nausea, blurred vision, and nighttime pain that disrupts sleep.

Get to a doctor as soon as you can. You seem to have a lot of stuff going on, but pain in the neck and jaw can be signs of a heart attack.
 
im only 21
 
Age does not matter, see your doctor as soon as possible.

Age doesn't matter, you could have been born with a problem that is just now getting serious, you could have gotten an infection in the past which is now causing problems.

Go to the doctor.

No. Get some medical attention.

Call NHS direct: 0845 4647. They are very good, and will advise you whether you need to seek medical attention, or whether it can wait until Tuesday. (I'd guess you shouldn't wait, since your symptoms sound serious.. but then I'm not a doctor).

By the way, I'm guessing you're from the UK based on your use of the term "a&e".. if you're not from the UK, then there may be a similar service in your country.
 
ok thanks i will do, i'll call nhs direct, i didn't think of that...
and yes i am from the uk

It could simply be migraines caused by eyestrain, it could be anything, migraines have odd symptoms. NHS direct have advice up to the level of Dr and even beyond so that should be your first port of call. You can check out their website on line too.

Pain when moving head up and down could be meningitis but this sounds unlikely.

I'm glad you've had it checked it out, you should never neglect a persistent headache.

It was probably not a diagnosis you expected, I hope you feel better soon.
