Dear Doctor,
Recently I'm facing pain in right temple and projecting downwards to the jaw. This is happening very regularly. My blood pressure is not stable. To kill the stress i'm using ashwagandha ayuvedic tables. I'm not diabetic, but very close to boundary as my family has diabetic history. Till now I'm not using any tablets except Ashwagandha. And also recently I’m feeling giddiness and tidiness. So, I kindly request you to suggest me what i have to do.
Thanks,

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
There are several possibilities from temporo-mandibular joint to Trigeminal neuralgia or intra-cranial hypertension. You should see a NEUROLOGIST. Clinical examination, including temporal arteries and fundus is necessary. You may need MRI brain
Have a GTT and HbA1c – to evaluate Diabetes. Kidney function and Lipids should also be seen, preferably.
Your blood pressure needs frequent check up. Ambulatory monitoring may help. Routine ECG & ECHO should be done.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
