Suggest Treatment For Severe Headaches And Drowsiness

I have been having several abnormal headaches in the last couple of months, during my headaches fogginess, drowsiness face tingling, pressure under my eyes and tingling in eyes, chest pain sometimes rapid pulse, shaky eyevision/ dizziness occurs. These headaches could last for seconds. And either be done or happen multiples a day, or it could sometimes last the whole day. There was a 3 week period when these headaches first started that rhe headaches lasted all day every day. In the last 6 months i have had 8/9 recognized seizures most of them small seizures with the exception of two pretty big seizures. And since the seizures i have beem on anti seizure meds. On dilantin for the first little while and carbazapine 2 months ago. Could these headaches be seizure related ? Could they be side affects from the drugs? What could be causing the headaches? What are the possible causes of the seizures?

Hi,

The fits (seizures ) and headaches are related. There may be done problem in the brain space occupying lesion especially if the seizures started when you are mature person. The treatment you are on is ok and will control the seizures well and have minimal side effect. You be to follow the cause of the seizures by doing CT scan of head to rule out Sop or infection of some sort. This depends on age and your locality.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
