I would be concerned about the yellowish eyes also. Have your parents look at them, and if they think your eyes look yellow, see if they will take you to the doctor. It could be a sign of liver problems (jaundice). If they still won't listen, maybe go to the school nurse & have her look at them. Mood changes could also be a sign of something wrong, if that is unusual for you. You should probably get checked out. Tell your parents you are worried, and that you aren't just trying to get out of going to school.

Possible problems:
Hepatitis - all your symptoms + painful liver
In hepatitis, the liver doesn't function right and the detoxification process doesn't take place as much as it should. As a result there is a buildup of toxic ammonia in the blood which impairs the functioning of the brain causing headache. The yellowish eyes are caused by a pigment called bilirubin, the condition is called jaundice. This condition appears when its blood level exceeds 4 mg/100 ml of blood. Its normal concentration is 1-1,5 mg/100 ml of blood. The high concentration of bilirubin is also neurotoxic and can cause headaches.
Gall bladder obstruction - all your symptoms + a feeling of abdominal discomfort after eating a fatty meal
Some of the bile stored in the gall bladder gets reabsorbed into the blood stream. Since there is an obstruction somewhere, the bile isn't evacuated in the intestine and more of it gets reabsorbed. The bile also contains bilirubin.
Hemolytic anemia - all your symptoms + fatigue, diziness, possible kidney damage or failure
This means that a large amount of your red blood cells have died and/or are dying and realising hemoglobin into the blood stream. Frequently spontaneously, hemoglobin gets broken down to bilirubin and a protein called globin(hemoglobin is the main source of bilirubin in the body), exceeding the liver's capacity to clear the blood of it and causing jaundice and headache. Headache and diziness can appear also due to the lowered red blood cell count which means that the brain doesn't get proper amounts of oxygen and nutrition factors. Anemia affects the entire body, because the reduced red blood cells cannot cope with the needs of the entire body and this is how fatigue develops.
Kidney damage occurs when the globin mentioned earlier, enters the urine producing tubules. Here it encounters acidic pH which causes it to precipitate and clog up the kidney tubules.
The possible mood swings that you are talking about may be caused also by the factors affecting the brain, that I've mentioned earlier.
All of these are serious conditions and require medical care

It could be tension, but even i have been suffering form it lately, I guess tibetna medicine is the best way to cope with this proble. IF you consult the doctor , they might precribe you a eyes mediicne or a Liver medicine. But i have this pain at the centtre back of my head, resulting to pain near the areas of my eyes, and my vision is different. I feel that i can read but something in between disappears when i read a line. I dont what this is. Just dont fear, calm yourself

If you mean the ones in the animal: cats and various other creatures are designed for hunting at night. The inner surface of their eyes is reflective so that light passes through the retina twice, allowing them to see in much weaker light. The light passes back through the lens of the eye in the direction it came. Because cats' retinas absorb predominately green light, they reflect red. Foxes eyes reflect green. The ones in the road are lumps of glass (more modern ones are polycarbonate with a reflective coating on the back so that they reflect the light in exactly the same way as nature's cats' eyes.

I think as a precaution you should see a doctor it could possibly be high blood pressure or diabetic. Just keep in mind that I not a doctor but you have some of the same symptoms that my grandmother has.

Headaches can be caused by minor problems
like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more serious reasons
like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can
have harmful side effects, so it is better to
modify your lifestyle. More information available at

You should read "The Blood Pressure Solution" (also available in electronic format, watch the video presentation here: http://www.fixbloodpressure.com/ ) It's a very comprehensive step-by-step book that walks you through the natural remedies of high blood pressure. It provides you with a lot of information on what foods to eat, how you can acquire and prepare these foods, how you can change your lifestyle for the better, how to eliminate the toxins from your body, how to reduce stress, how you can check your blood pressure level the correct way etc.
The book is amazing in that it not only lowers your blood pressure without the help of medications; it also aids you in having a life that is healthy, happier, and less stressful. This book chanced my life.

yellowish eyes sometimes are indicative of liver problem. It is best to see a physician who can then perform complete physical assessment including drawing blood.
