Suggest Remedy For Persistent Headache

Amitriptyline trial may help.
Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxx,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.
I have gone through your comprehensive clinical history.There are a few points which are worth mentioning-
1)Basal ganglia strokes are not the likely cause of headache.
2)Character of the headache(as described by you) closely resembles 'Tension type headache'.So,that's the probable diagnosis.
3)Drug of choice for TTH is Amitriptyline,which you have not mentioned in your treatment history.It definitely deserves,a try.Please discuss with your treating neurologist regarding this.
4)MRI rules out structural causes of headache,which again tilts the diagnosis in favor of primary headache-likely to be TTH.
If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.
Regards
Dr.Ajay Panwar,
MD,DM(Neurology)
