Suggest Treatment For Exploding Head Syndrome

I am having brain explosions which is taking away a lot of my memory. I have high blood pressure, and when given a new sample BP med (since my old one was not generic), I tried it and it caused these explosions. Irbesartin was the culprit. Since them I have tried to use a natural BP med, but the explosions are still happening. These are mainly at night when going to sleep or waking up. Can you help end these explosions? Thanks!!

Neurologist,  's  Response
Hello!

My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!

Your symptoms could be related to ice peak headache. I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful neurological exam and some tests:
- a brain MRI study
- complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate for inflammation.
I would also recommend wearing a blood pressure Holter monitoring in order to exclude possible high blood pressure during those episodes.
Meanwhile, I would recommend taking naproxene before sleep.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!
Kind regards!
