Headaches

Hi

  I have recently finished 15 months of treatment and had 18 treatments of Avastin. I have like a pressure on the top of my head and eyeball pressure throughout the treatment which I am still getting. It doesn't respond to pain relief. Also having BP high and am on medication for this. However they don't seem to havevothernpatients with this head and eyeball problem. The head pressure is so bad its like a clamp on my head. I'm interested to know if anyone else can say they have this too please.

  • Hello Stonehenge, 

    Poor you that sounds really painful! I imagine you have brought this up with your doctor and have mentioned the fact that it doesn't respond to pain relief. This combined with a raised blood pressure are definitely things worth flagging with your GP as soon as you can. Perhaps you could ask them too whether the pressure you are feeling in your head and eyeball might be linked to your BP issues. 

    I hope that you find out more about this very soon and that you will also hear from others on the forum who have had a similar problem. 

    Best wishes,
