Is Zolmitriptan Tablet The Right Medicine For Chronic Headache And Blurred Vision?

hi. i have been having headaches daily for nearly 3 weeks now. have seen my gp who has prescribed zoltriptopram...this gets rid of the headache, but it comes back later. It seems to be focused around the right eye, but has been on the left too. my eyelid droops & my eye waters whilst the ache is present, then lifts, blurred vision goes once pills kick in. worried i have something grim. I have had my eyes tested too,& nothing wrong

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
I read your query carefully.
According to details it seems to be Migraine or Tension headache.
Apart from taking medication you need to follow these:-
1. Take proper sleep atleast for 8hours. make a proper schedule for eating and sleeping.
2. Avoid certain foods which might trigger the migraine like cheese,chocolates,red wine and dairy products.
3. Do regular relaxing exercises and walk.
4. Avoid sharp lights.
5. Take Acetaminophen 1000mg twice a day after meal. if it will not be helpful then take Naproxen 500mg twice a day after meal.
Rest you can carry on with your medication.
Hope so it will be helpful. you can write again in case of any query or follow up.
Wish you good health.
Regards
