Suggest Treatment For Intense Headache, Neck Pain And CADASIL Syndrome
My husband has CADASIL (a stroke disorder) and frequent headaches. For the past few days he has been having intense headaches and pain on one side of his neck. The pain gets very intense whenever he bends over. He has also noticed a weight gain of about 4 pounds over the last two days. Any idea what could be causing this?
Thank you for your query. Intense headaches in a person with CADASIL syndrome needs to be checked out immediately. Is he on blood thinners? It is possible for these symptoms to signal an impending vascular event like stroke. Aneurysm and cerebral deems needs to be ruled out too. please see your physician for a neurological examination and appropriate intervention. hope this helps. with you both good health
