Headaches and uneven pupils
Hi
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas about what's happening?
I get headaches almost everyday and my pupils are uneven (even when I don't have headaches) I noticed they where uneven about six months ago and it has become more frequent to the point they are uneven more often then not.
Im not on any medication other then the pill.
I do have enlarged red blood cells that the doctors can't explain I have been tested for all the nutritional and common causes of this and there is still no answers.
If anyone has any ideas please let me no.

Have those 'common causes' been ruled out by a neurologist?

Na they have not really looked at the neuro side they have been looking at they cause of the red blood cells being enlarged.
It was a haematologist that I was seeing.
I have not been back to the dr about my uneven pupils.

Need to get checked by a neurologist.
It could just be "nothing" but it could also be something as serious as an aneurysm.

Yes, a neurologist. When I read the intro to your OP I was going to say to get to the ER ASAP. Then I read the whole thing and you said you'd seen other Drs. But uneven pupils are an indication of problems in the brain - from swelling due to concussion, to aneurysm to tumor (cancerous or not).

Uneven pupils can actually be pretty common. Forgive me right now, but for the life of me I cannot remember the term.

I'd not heard of it. Just did a quick search... apparently occurs in about 20% pop. But since some causes are serious, I still think a visit to a neurologist is in order.
