Constant headache and uncomfortable eyes
17/f
For a while now maybe 2 or 3 weeks I've had constant headaches. It's happened quite a lot before and it would last for months but it got better and now it's back. I wake up with a headache and go sleep with a headache. I can't even open my eyes properly because it hurts my head and my head feels really heavy. My neck starts hurting quite easily as well lately. I have blurred vision especially when looking at things like a projecter which is causing problems for me at school now. My eyes also have been twitching a lot lately and feel uncomfortable alot of the time. My headache usually ends up going into my ear as well or the parts surrounding my ear and sometimes into my left eye. I don't know of this can have anything to do with it or if it's just something else but I've also been peeing a lot lately for the past 2 weeks I've been having to go pee in every lesson at school.

If you need to hear it from more than one person, I am with adviceman. This sounds serious and you shouldd see a Dr. IMMEDIATELY! Just the fact alone that it is affecting your ability at school is bad enough, even if it were something really simple but the fact you've had it this long and this severe surely must point to something else in you which hopefully the Dr.s can find what is causing it.
There are lots of medical situations which if dectected early can be treated and the same if odd symptoms are ignored too long, can end up deadly. So if you want to live a long life and live it headache free, get to a dr. any way you can, even if the parents won't take you. If you've said nothing of this, (and I had a daughter who kept quiet about something medical too) they may have no clue and if you say something now for the first time, they might not believe it is really serious. But it is hon. If parents don't act, talk to school nurse and get referrels to clinics that will take teens whose parents won't take them to a Dr.

I am not a doctor none of us are. Your symptoms sound serious enough that I would suggest you see a doctor immediately. Constant headaches are a sign of so many different things different things from simply needing glasses to far more serious problems that I hesitate to make a guess at what the problem is. The constant need to urinate may be nerves, may not be related to the headaches or may be something caused by the headaches.
Question; Have you told mom or dad about these headaches? If so and they have refused to take you to a doctor then my suggestion is to call 911 and explain to the call taker what you have told us and that you have asked to be taken to a doctor and your parents refused. If you haven't told you parents then do so immediately and tell them adviceman, a retired first responder, strongly suggest that 911 be called and you be taken to the ER.
I can't tell if what is bothering you is life threatening I don't think it is. But a condition that hangs on this long is serious enough to get you an ambulance ride to the closest hospital to be evaluated, have a C/T scan and maybe an MRI.
Your parents do not have to worry if you are not insured. There are programs to cover the cost for minors.
In the rare event your parents refuse to call 911 then you should call 911 tell them what you wrote and that your parents do not think this is serious enough to call 911. They will dispatch a paramedic ambulance and the closest fire truck as first responder to care for you until the ambulance arrive and the police. The police are sent to make sure the fire depart has a chance to evaluate you and if in the determination of the medics you need to go to the hospital that they get to take you.
