What does it mean when you have a headache behind your eye?


Answer:
it is probably a cluster headache. i get them too. i get them every year or two. the cycles last for 3-6 weeks...and the pain is unbearable. do a search on cluster headaches. there are a lot of pages devoted to them.
oh my gosh, i get those all the time...when i'm reading for a long time or watching tv, or staring at the computer screen. i'm pretty sure it's just a headache.but im curious to see these answers
Maybe you just need new glasses Worked for me!
It means you have a headache behind your eye.

If you really mean PAIN behind the eye, some of the conditions that can cause pain in and around the eye and that aren't associated with trauma are problems with the eye itself, contact lens complications, migraine, conjunctivitis or any inflammation of the eyelids, eyestrain, narrow angle glaucoma and sinus problems.

If the pain you experience is frequent and/or debilitating, see your doctor or optometrist. If you require a referral to an ophthalmologist, you'll get one.
When that happens to me, it is because I have a "sensitivity" to temperature changes (not enough thyroxin for my body to adjust). If I become "hypersensitive" because I have experienced too much heat/cold, and then eat, due to calories in food I get pain as you described. If the weather changes and gets warmer/colder and I don't eat, the pain doesn't happen. Food seems to be the trigger, especially high calorie food, but it can also happen from overheating/overcooling to an extreme due to some other means like clothing over warm or not enough clothing on to stay warm. The immune system is the attacker that causes the pain. Hope this answer, if it applies, does help.
