Why Have I Been Experiencing Debilitating Headaches For A Few Months That Are Getting Worse Along With Fatigue And Dizziness?
Question: i have been experiencing debilitating headaches for a few months. I had a left side stroke four years ago, but i believe my headaches have gotten much worse since my doctor started me on Livolo a couple of months ago. I take it at 6 pm. I frequently get up during the night and wake up w a headache, dizziness, and fatigue. Can the Livolo be causing this?
Brief Answer:
Get examined and evaluated by a neurologist
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Headache due to drug is less likely cause.
Possibility of obstructive sleep apnea or poor sleep quality may be considered.
Other possibility may be brain space occupying lesion.
Get examined by a neurologist.
Drug like amitriptyline or sertraline can be used.
