Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.
If you would have presented to me as an outpatient,with this medical history,I would have outlined the following etilogies,which may be the probable cause of your symptoms-
1)Anxiety-Anxiety very commonly cause such transient pain episodes
2)Tooth-With your background history of tooth problem,it is possible to result in such symptoms.Please have a dentist's consultation.
3)Ocular-You need to get examined for raised eye(intraocular)pressure.Sometimes Glaucoma may result in such symptoms.
4)Sinus-Frontal sinusitis may result in headache,sometimes transient episodes also.Please have an ENT examination.
5)Trigeminal neuralgia-can present like this sometimes.
6)Primary stabbing headache(Ice-pick)-can have similar manifestations.
For now,I would suggest you to start therapy with-
1)Tab.Indomethacin 75 mg sustained release once a day.
2)Tab.Carbamazepine 200 mg twice a day
3)Antianxiety drug-Tab.clonazepam 0.5 mg at bedtime everyday
Start doing mental relaxation exercises/meditation/Yoga which will help reduce your anxiety,thus causing improvement in symptoms.
PLEASE TAKE MEDICINES UNDER A PHYSICIAN'S GUIDANCE.
Please take Dentist's,ENT specialist's and ophthalmologist's consultation as mentioned.
Hope I have answered your query.If you have some follow-up queries,I shall be glad to answer else,please close the thread-rate it and write a review.Your rating will be of help to me.
