Headache started before my boards I thought it was because of stress but it became constant,I have constant headache for more than a year which shifts sides depending on which side i sleep on.it sometimes gets worse when it comes to my left side,I have no other symptoms other than my headache.it mostly feels like some weight is put on me and sometimes like a nail is pierced in my head.
I have impaired awareness seizures & take tegretol 200mg morning / 300mg nighttime. 53kg/177cm
Titration started Jan 2026.
Should nighttime very intense teeth grinding, thrashing, panicky noises (definitely seizure and not parasomnia) be improving by now? Daytime has improved a bit. What is the normal expected timeline?
Also have IUD for adenomyosis. IUD controlled pain but now tegretol has caused lots of uterine cramping. What options to manage this or any long term suggestions that helps?
Also any quick general advice for someone on tegretol long term? Risks and how to minimize deficiencies?
Thank you for your time your advice is greatly appreciated.
Hello Doctor, I had a single seizure in June 2025 and have been taking my medication regularly since then. I have not had any seizures after that. I am planning a trip to Ladakh in a few months, which involves long train travel and high altitude. I want to know if it is safe for me to travel in these conditions, especially considering sleep changes and altitude. Also, could you please guide me on what precautions I should take during the trip, what symptoms I should watch for, and what I should do if a seizure happens while traveling? Should I carry any emergency medication or take any additional precautions? Thank you.
Doctor, I am experiencing a daily sleep disturbance. Every morning between 3:00 and 4:00 AM, I wake up with a distinct feeling of heaviness and numbness localized to the back of my head. The sensation is quite disruptive and prevents me from getting a full night's rest. I have noticed a specific pattern: when I wake up and transition from lying down to a seated position, the heaviness and numbness start relieving slowly and after around 1 hr I start feeling better. But if I sleep try to sleep just after getting up that head heaviness remains there.
1) Major problem:-
I have been feeling forehead tightness ( pressure like) since last 2.5years . I don't have throbbing pain.
This head tightness become worse as soon as I start studying, eating spicy food and sweet products and Mobile/Laptop screen.
2)All tests Normal:-
Brain MRI, Urine, Blood cbc, thyroid, Ct PNS ( Sinusitis), Sugar test, BP, etc. 3) My earlier lifestyle:-
I was preparing for competitive exam since 2020 via online class in Mobile. So, I cut all physical activities and Outdoor sports and devote my max time in study .
4) Visited many doctors but nothing worked.
5) Due to frustration, typed my problem in Chatgpt.
It examined my problem as -(Tension headache with Brain Hypersensitivity).
Prescribed medicine - Dezula 20mg, Nortimer 25mg. Initially it worked for 3 months like magic and i was able to study like normal.
But Nowadays, again same problem arises.
6) will my problem permanent, not curable??
