Severe Headache, Have Indentation On Forehead. Prescribed Amitriptilyne. How To Overcome This Problem?

Hi There, I have a small indentation at the centre of my forehead and have been suffering from severe headaches for around 3 months now. I have recollection of how this has happened and wondered if this is maybe the cause of the headaches. I have been to see my GP but was prescribed Amitriptilyne to take in the evening before bedtime but I have nothing for during the day except usual pain relief. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

Small indentation in the forehead may not be the cause of your headaches. So, we need to find out the cause of your headaches. This can be done by undergoing an examination by a neurologist and a CT scan of the head.

As of now, there is no need to worry.

I hope it helps.

Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
