Suggest Treatment For Headache And Twitching Of Hands And Legs

default
Posted on Thu, 22 May 2014
Question: Hi, following a virus I had last week, which presented symptoms of a rash diarrhoea and some headaches, I have noticed an increase in the number of headaches I'm getting to the point of over the last few days they have been almost constant. The most pain is on the top of my head on the right side but other areas too but milder. The other thing that has been happening is involuntary body movements like my hand will jump or my leg will move. I have had blood work and urine tests done and the doctors were happy they weren't concerning and all came back clear but still the headaches and twitching continue. I have noticed that the movements happen more often when I get into bed at night and I'm falling asleep, but throughout the day. They will be there occasionally. The symptoms aren't so severe that they stop me doing anything. The doctor suggested that the movements may be anxiety related but I'm scared it may be something serious like a brain Tumour. Please give me your views on this. Many thanks. (I'm 31yrs old and female.

Brief Answer:
Run EEG&consult neurologist....

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.

I do no not find your headaches and twitching worrisome. However, I suggest to schedule an appointment with neurologist and to run EEG. If everything is ok, then, there is nothing you should be worrying about.

Meanwhile, I advise to:
- try to relax and control anxiety
- do not think over twitching
- eat and stay healthy

Hope it helped!
