Suggest Treatment For Severe Migraines And Pulsating Pressure In Head
Hi, Migraines and headaches run in my family. I get a severe migraine at least once every week or two weeks. I had one just yesterday and today I was feeling fine but I started to feel pressure and pulsing on the right side of my head over my forehead and past my temple. Just now, I felt SEVERE(pain 10+) throbbing, stabbing, pulsing over this entire area and prominently on my temple. I KNOW headaches and this doesn t feel like one. I felt as if I was about to blackout and my vision went black. The pain seemed to travel down the side of my face past my ear to the middle of my neck... I have no idea what I just experenced. And there is still pressure/pain/tenderness over the entire area it covered. Also I have no stuffiness or runny nose. Just a little tickle in my throat. Thank you for your time.
Based on your history,severe form of migraine is the most common cause.Other causes include visual disorders,inflammation of blood vessels in autoimmune diseases like temporal arteritis, sinusitis or tension related headache. Kindly avoid triggers like nicotine or caffeine.I would also suggest you to take CT or MRI scan to rule out any hemorrhage,aneurysm and other causes of headache.
Hope that was helpful.Let me know if i can assist you further.
