The pain is primarily on top of head,dull aching originally occuring 1-2x/day but today most of day The pain subsides quickly No loss of consciousness nor vomiting It feels at times an ache behind my eyes but I'm not sure if that's radiating pain from top of head Have had sinusitis in past Recently started on Myrbetriq 25mg Am on no other medications There seems to be no factors that aggravate my pain It just comes on Just noticed today that pain radiated to both ears for 1st time but not for long In the past 2 wks pain came and left maybe lasting 5-10 min but as I said before it lasted most of today
Brief Answer:
Can be due to myrbetriq
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for sharing the information.
One of the possibilities is Myrbetriq which is know to cause headache as a side effect in more than 2% of patients(seen in clinical studies).I were to suggest to discuss with your doctor in this regard to rule out the possibility.Secondly and more importantly, I were also to check your ocular pressures since high pressures manifest as headache and eye pain.Myrbetriq is also known to increase intraocular pressure.
Hope this answers your query.
