Just a general question to the members

Keep getting headaches the last one lasted from last night till this morning.
Someone at work suggested an eyetest
Would this be factor for needing glasse?

The pain is still around my eye socket

ps I dont think my other half elbowed me in the face during the night.

Any thoughts

An eye test would certainly rule out one of the major causes of headaches... or indeed confirm that you need to wear glasses!

If it's not an eyesight problem, it could be dehydration? How much water do you drink a day?

If you go to the GP with headaches the first thing they will tell you to do is get an eye test.

Do you swing between drinking lots of caffeine then little caffeine?
How do you eat at work? Lots during breaks or snacking throughout the day?

Don't forget that you can claim the cost of the eyetest back from your company.
