Question: Please read. I'm serious.?
I went to the doctor's today. A new doctor because mine wasn't there and I had never met this doctor before. And I went because on the side of my head I have bruises which people have asked me if I have gotten beaten..but he said the blue/green is just my veins which are showing more. So I said ok. And than I told him that I have been getting these horrible headached for the past week or two and I am taking extra storng tylenol and it does nothing. And I never ever get headaches. And he took my blood pressure and wouldn't even tell me what it was, and than he asked me why I am there to see him. And I said my headaches, and he asked me if there is history of mental problems in my family, he asked me why my doctor prescribed me something for anxiety. He asked me if I am a single mom which I am. He asked me if I work, where I work..everything. How is that related to my headaches. And than he made me sit on a stool and felt my shoulders. almost like giving me a massage and he said something feels twisted and tense so he sent me for x-rays downstairs. The radiologist must of done like 12 x-rays...and in positions that hurt like crazy. They did cranial x-rays..some of my lying on my back..lying on my stomach..standing..each side ..and he did some of my spine or back or shoulders and I am just wondering why he would ask me about my personal life when he said he's just trying to know me..and so yah, he gets the results in 48 hours and he is also sending me for a urine test and blood tests to check for everything. He won't tell me anything especially about the cranial x-rays. What can all this be .? I'm just wondering because it's my health and I don't know what he suspects or if he thinks I'm inventing all of it. My head hurts so badly , it's hurting a lot. I am not lying I'm just so arrghHealth Question & Answer

I'm not a health professional. He's asking you questions about your life to determine if your headaches are stress-related, I presume. He's checking your shoulders to see if you're tense or have a spinal disorder, I would guess. Same goes for the x-rays.
Doctors do what they need to do to make sure you're in good health. I'm sure he'll call when gets the results.

I would go to another doctor. Its strange that he wont tell you anything, its your right to know.Health Question & Answer
It could be stress related issues, since he asked about work and your family. Stress sometimes causes anxiety problems, which could be the reason he prescribed an anxiety medication. I've been getting chest pains that are pretty intense, took numerous x-rays and they found nothing. They concluded it's anxiety that's causing the tendons and muscles around my chest to inflame. This could be the same problem for your head. In my opinion, you will be fine - just to be careful, they are doing numerous tests. Best of luck with everything, please let us know how it turns out.Health Question & Answer
