I Have Had A Severe Headache , When I Put
Question: i have had a severe headache, when I put my arms out in front of me , my left arm flaps like I have a tremor...
Brief Answer:
It would be useful to get a brain scan done.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and I would try my best to help you.
I have noted your clinical details. Based on this, we need to exclude a brain pathology such as blood clot/infection/tumor, etc. This is more important if the symptoms are of short duration. However, if it is a long standing issue, then, we need to consider other diagnosis such as migraine and essential tremor, both of which can be treated with appropriate medications.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
