Brief Answer:
This can be due to raised intracranial pressure
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HealthCareMagic.com I am Dr.J XXXXXXX Anto Bruno Mascarenhas. I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help you.
Your symptoms are
1. Headache
2. Feeling tightness
3. Flash of life
4. Difficulty in sleeping
All these can happen in
1. Migraine
2. Raised Intracranial pressure (pressure inside skull)
Fluwel can work in migraine but may not work in raised pressure
To proceed further we need to do
1. Clinical Examination
2. Fundus Examination
3. Radiological Examination if needed
I would suggest you to consult a Neurosurgeon in person
Hope you found the answer helpful.
