What Causes Headaches, Neck Throbbing And Dizziness?

For the last few months I have been having headaches and some of them are worse than others. The bad ones begin with the right side of my neck throbbing and sometimes my fingers feel tingly... I get dizzy and nauseous and sometimes have trouble with getting my words out right. Also have reaction to some lights and sounds.... I went to my doctor and he is sending me to neurologist... I think they are migraines but could it be something else?

hi..
thanks for writing to us..
after going through your history, i understand that you are likely to be suffering with what we call Migraine attacks.
Migraine headaches occur due to some dilated blood vessels in the brain. this causes severe throbbing headache as brain is a very compact structure. It is usually associated with nausea & vomitings. patients also experience intolerance to certain sounds & smell. headache might trigger whenever they get exposed to these sounds & smell. However migraine is treatable & manageable with some medications like triptans & ergotamines.
i would suggest you to consult a neurologist as your treating doctor has adviced & get some tests done like CT / MRI brain which would give us more information.
hope this helped. do not hesitate to write back in case of any doubts. have a good health.. thank you
