How Can Continuous Headaches And Twitching Sensation In The Calf Muscles Be Treated?

Hello, my sister has had a headache (in the back and the temples) off and on the last month. These past 2-3 days it has been continuous, with the severity changing. Her calf muscle has been twitching off and on, and her ankle and the top of her foot (right below the toes) is very sore and hurts even to the slightest touch. Her back of the head also hurts if it s touched slightly. She has lost her apetite and isn t drinking a lot either. Her heart has been beating fast on and off and her lower back is also tender to the touch. She does not have a fever or a stiff neck. She went to the doctor s office and they took blood, but told her they don t know what s wrong and to schedule an appointment with a neurologist. We can t get an appointment until the 30th of August. Is there anything we can do? In the past she was very healthy, but two almost three years ago she got a bad case of bronchitis and has never been the same. She has dry eyes (a 2 out of 100), too much testosterone, ulcers (two or three in the past couple of years), heart pain (or the muscles close to the heart -- she is not sure) and sleeping problems.

Hello,

As of now, give her symptomatic treatment.
Ibuprofen for relief of headaches and paracetamol for fever.
After that, please get a brain scan also done.

Hope I have answered your query.
