Hello
Welcome to HCM
i think this pain is neuropathic in nature.
But you need to give me some more history like-
Any h/o TIA,
H/O diabetes ,hyypertension.
Any ct scan done or not?report?
Your age,sex,weight, any visual changes during attack of pain.
Now you can take tablet gabapentin.
Also consult a neurologist asap.
Hope this is helpful..regatds.
