Hello I am a 39 year old woman with spina bifida and for the past month I been having a constant burning sensation at the top and back of my head that is numbing. I had issues with anxiety 6 months ago where I was on antidepressants but they didn t agree with me and was off them within 2-3 weeks and have never taken them ever before. The anxiety issues are gone but the numbing sensation is getting worse such to the point where it is hard to concentrate. What could it be?
Hello, Is your spina bifida is operated at your childhood or not? There is currently no cure for spina bifida, but surgery might help restore a seniors' independence if his or her nerves are affected due to aging. Most seniors with spina bifida may require surgery on the back to relieve pressure and alleviate the impulses moving up and down the spine. Probably because of anxiety you may get headache called tension headache. It may be due to stretching of nerve. Use tablet. Alprazolam 0.25 mg at nighttime for five days. Use tablet pregabalin 75 mg once a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult with your neurosurgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
