For the last few months i've been getting headaches about 3 times a week. They started out just minor twinges, but now they feel like full blown migraines. I also get ringing in my ears that only lasts a few minutes, and yesterday my vision went blurry for about 30 seconds. I usually wake up in the morning with a headache, and they come and go, and get worse throughout the day. Any idea what this could be? I'm 15, and i have no other health problems.

Dear child, it might be a brane tumor, it can be operated easily while it is still small. But it could be some minor problem with blood circulation. Anyway, you need to see a doctor.

Migrains and blurred vision are usaully caused by stainging ur eyes (staring at something light in a dark area), wiping ur eyes, or listening to loud music on ur headfones if u seem to get headaches and blurry vision from another source i recommend u check with a doctor...

These sound as if you could be a migraine sufferer. The condition often starts in adolescence and can be bad at your age. It can often be caused by the person's diet, so monitoring what you eat might prove very revealing. Different people react to different foods and chocolate, cheese, certain fruits and many other things are blamed for starting a migraine. Don't panic, but you should definitely go to have a chat with your doctor about your problem to get some treatment and advice on your headaches and to make sure that you do not have a more serious problem.

The best thing you can do is see a doctor and have all the test necessary to have all manner of things discounted. Whilst its easy to worry and think its a brain tumour I had blurred vision slurred speech losing my balance , ringing in ears vomiting ear ache not all with headaches but following varying scans including mri it was classed as migraine and you know when i get the symptoms and take the tablets it goes.... It could be issues with the balance equipment in your ears , it could be infection or even problems resulting in taking antibiotics but since you need testing to discount all of these or confirm you need to go to the gp and get them to refer you for testing . By the way all of my symptoms were linked with hormones as the migraines were found to be cyclical. It doesn't mean its the same with you but it doesn't always have to be the worst. Good luck, don't wait see your doctor and either way you will have relief.
