I am having headache
I am having headache ( slight and throbbing only sometimes) for the last 5 months. Consulted an ENT who denied vertigo or tinnitus. Consulted a neurologist who after MRI, thyroid and blood tests have denied any tumour or such things.
After taking antidepressants, it has subsided a bit. I do have anxiety also sometimes because of the headache.
One strange thing is that when I sleep on my right face to the pillow, the pain increases and seems to flow out of the joint of jaw and skull.
If anyone could help, I would be immensely grateful.
From what u described it is more likely to be migraine.its a type of primary headache where all investigations are negative.
Next Steps
use tab naprosyn 500 mg as and when you have headache.if it's more frequent and severe,u need to consult a Neurosurgeon/neurologist
