Suggest Treatment For Sudden Headache
hello, my name is janea i am 21 years old. 2014 i was diagnosed with pseudo-tumor and November of 2016 i had a vp shunt placement. However according to my nuero-optyologist my optic nerves are still getting worse. However, i am getting these severe sudden headaches where it feels like my world is ending like there is nothing else to do but grab my head until the pain stop. I can barely open my eyes. What could this be? Is the shunt bad? Is this something i should tell my surgeon?

Hello,
The symptoms are more consistent with conditions like neuritis.
Consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
