I have been experiencing headaches that are throbbing primarily in the back/top of my head sometimes it will travel to my forehead and eyes, I been having dizzy spells, being forgetful and sometimes it ll stop me in me right in my track, joint paines in my wrists knees ankles and underside of feet usually follows by a shock like pain traveling though out the areas. I have troubling sleeping most nights and sometimes I get these cold chills. This has been going for a few months and doesn t seem to get better. Could someone tell me what they think it could be?

Hi,
Thanks for your question. I do understand your pain and discomfort. I have seen many cases with similar complaints. Please find my advice below-:
1)Do check your vital sign(Blood pressure,Respiratory rate,Pulse and temperature and record it .
2)Do a full blood count with differential
3)Do a MRI scan to ruled out neurological lesions
4)If every finding is normal tell your family doctor to manage it as migraine headache,before taking medication please check all trigger points leads to migraine first then drugs for it.

I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me.
