Occasionally Experience Symptoms Of Heaviness At Back Of Head, Feel Fatigue.
Dear doc. I occasionally experience symptoms of heaviness at the back of my right head. I sometimes experience twitching of a vessel above the right side of my head. I also sometimes experience numbness at the back of right side of my head when I sleep on my back. I sometimes feel fatigue in that side of the brain. Sometimes too rit takes a while to recall words or names of items eventhough I have an idea about them. am not sure what is happening but I need help. Am a male of 27 yrs of age. My family has a history of migraine among the women but I don t think this is migraine.

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic forum.
Migraine is a syndrome and all features are not present in each and every patients.
With the available described details, there appears to be high possibility of migraine.
Other possibilities could be tension headache and cluster headache.
You should consult with internal medicine specialist/ neurologist and should go for thorough up.
You should also go for CT/ MRI scan brain.
Meanwhile, you should take divalproex, flunarizine.
Thanks,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
