Suggest Remedies For Persistent Throbbing Headaches With Ptosis In Right Eye
Hi, about a year ago i had a major twitching in my right eye. and it persisted for about a month or two (i m talking like all day long for 2 months) The twitching finally went away but after about 3 months or so I developed ptosis in my right eye. Shortly after that I started getting dull headaches everyday on the right side of my neck leading into my head. (only on the right side). Its been about 6 months and my headaches are getting worse. They get so bad that I have been taking headache medicine for the past 6 months. Daily. It almost feels like the blood is clotted at the base of my head and it s throbbing to get through. Please help. i feel like I might pass out most days.
As per my clinical experience, the throbbing headache with ptosis in the right eye, might be related to underlying cluster headache from various reasons. Once confirmed, apart from routine analgesic or NSAID, intake of Ergotamine, Sumatriptan and 100% oxygen gives best results in acute phase. Verapamil is the best for prevention of further attacks as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
