What Causes Dizziness With Something Moving Feeling In Head?

HI there I have been experiencing a strange feeling in my head like dizziness and feels like something is moving in my head. I have pain in my temples especially the right one and my face feels sore as well - this has been for 2 months now-I do not experience this when I am asleep, but when I wake up it starts and continues until I go to sleep. I went for a ct scan, it is not my sinus. I also feel pressure on my ears.

Hello!
Thank you for your question on HCM!
Regarding your concern I think your troubles are very suggesting for tension type headache. It is a common headache caused by contraction of the scalp muscles. Your normal CT scan is another argument in favor of this diagnosis.
If I were your doctor I would recommend treatment with an antidepressant like amytriptiline. You must take it under medical prescription and a cardiologist consult as it can cause heart problems. Other drugs I would recommend are paroxetine, citalopram. I recommend you to take one of these drugs for some months. It will be very helpful.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes Dr Abaz Quka
