Hi,
Thanks for your query.
You are suffering from headaches off/on with numbness in head & arm
may I suggest.
1. Get your MRI BRAIN/CERVICAL SPINE to rule out any organic cause for headache & numbness
2 Try taking anxiolytic medications along with analgesics. you may try combination of amitryptilline with chlordiazepoxide for few weeks
3. If headache anxiety still persists consult a neurologist for complete neuropsychological evaluation
4 Try to de-stress through YOGA/MEDITATION etc.
5. Check your blood pressure regularly especially during headaches
Hope this answers your query.
Thanks,

can tryptomer 10 mg alone for 2 months as suggested by a neurosurgeon be enough & more importantly safe?
Hi XXXXXXX
Ttryptomer alone is ok. Add combination if there is no relief after tryptomer.
Tryptomer is safe even for prolong use.
thanks
