Suggest Remedies For Headaches And Severe Neck Pain
I would explain as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I carefully passed through your question and would explain that Caffergot should not be used concomitantly with imitrex or sumatriptan, as they both can increase serotonin levels and interact with each other causing possible vessel spasm and even stroke.
So, I would not recommend taking them both. They should be taken separately in a distance of 24 hours from each other.
I would also recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and performing some tests to investigate for the possible cause of headache:
- complete blood count for anemia
- blood electrolytes
- inflammation tests (PCR and sedimentation rate)
- a cervical spine X ray study to exclude possible chronic degeneration.
A brain CT scan or MRI may be needed, especially if abnormal physical examination or if it is the first time in your life that you experience such headache.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
