What Causes Severe Headaches And Tingling Sensation In The Hands?
Question: My wife has a bad head ache, her stomach is upset, she has tingling in her hands and is somewhat confused. She does not have chest pain and passes several of stroke signs tests. She thinks she is having a panic attack. I'm worried it may be more than that.
Brief Answer:
Take treatment as advised and visit to a neurologist
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
Headache associated with stomachache, nausea or vomiting may be migraine.
Anxiety, decreased sleep may be due to tension type headache.
Is there any sensitivity to light or sound?
Any aggravating factors like fasting, sleep deprivation?
She should visit to a neurologist for detailed evaluation.
She should take timely breakfast and lunch, avoiding fasting.
Avoid excessive tea or coffee or chocolates.
Prophylaxis drugs like flunarizine or amitriptyline or topiramate can be used.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further information.
