I Need Additional Advice On How To Reduce The Sensation
Question: I need additional advice on how to reduce the sensation of overheating caused by my chronic migraine.
I have an atypical variety of migraine that is almost never painful but causes pressure, tension, numbness, a sensation of being intensely overheated, and brain fog. It doesn't have phases and is constant: it is not many migraines but one continuous, uninterrupted migraine exhibited the features I just described.
Right now I have succeeded to a substantial degree in lessening symptoms through a mixture of Cefaly device, putting peppermint essential oil on my face twice a day, using Sinus Plumber nasal spray for migraines, and taking a set of various natural substances. However, although the symptoms overall are vastly better, the sensation of being overheated in the sinuses and forehead is extremely disabling: it feels like I am in 130 degree humid weather.
What can I do to lower this? I should qualify that the sensation of heat does not actually reflect high body temperature: it is the trigeminal nerve being hypersensitive and sending false but very real-seeming sensation of being in very hot weather.
(I will eventually be getting migraine surgery for this, but that will take a while to get, so I am looking for short-term solutions.)

Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be trigeminal neuralgia
Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but this is unlikely to be due to trigeminal neuralgia as it causes painful sensation similar to electric shocks.. I would recommend that you get a blood test for thyroid hormonal profile including T3, T4 and TSH to exclude hyperthyroidism which is the most common cause of hot sensation.. I hope you find this helpful
