Hello doctor, I have disorientation, headache, sensitivity to light, forgetfulness, and drowsiness. I went to the hospital to rule out brain aneurysm, nothing was found, but I need a resolution for the pain. Please help.
Hello. Headache with sudden onset and the worst headache of life need evaluation. Since your MRI brain is normal, it is reassuring. One thing that still needs to evaluate is, has there been any change in your vision, how is your fundus (eye) examination (to make sure there is no increased intracranial pressure). If all these tests are normal, then you might be suffering from status migrainous. Fioricet should be avoided as this may cause dependence. Things that would help, 1. ER visit for migraine cocktail for headache relief. 2. Water intake two liters per day. 3. Exercise daily. 4. A good sleep of at least five to six hours. 5. Preventive medications like Riboflavin 100 mg oral daily or Magnesium oxide 400 mg oral daily (trial for a month). 6. See a neurologist for detail evaluation. eye examination (fundoscopy) Migraine cocktail if secondary Headache is ruled out.
