Droopy Eyelid, On And Off Metallic Taste In Mouth, Headache Behind Eye, Foggy Feeling. Is This Silent Migraine?

Hello, and thank you... I have a droopy right eyelid, strong metallic taste in my mouth off and on, headaches on the right side near my temple, pain behind my eye, I feel foggy , my pupils don t always match (one being larger than the other...usually the right)... fatigue... someone mentioned I might be getting silent migraines or that I might have a sinus thrombosis. I have had one CT scan that came back clear. These symptoms (plus fatigue) have been going on for months. Can you help me? Thank you. Margo

Hello margo!
if your ct scans are clear then i ams ure migraine is the only possibility for this chronic symptoms.
you will need
Reduction of migraine triggers (eg, lack of sleep, fatigue, stress, certain foods)
Nonpharmacologic therapy (eg, biofeedback, cognitive-behavioral therapy)
Integrative medicine (eg, butterbur, riboflavin, magnesium, feverfew, coenzyme Q10)
and alot of avoidance food triggers.

Below mentioned diet is like a poison to you so avoid them to avoid migraine
Alcohol - Particularly wine and beer
Caffeine overuse or caffeine withdrawal
Chocolate
Aspartame - eg, NutraSweet and Equal
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) - May be found in Asian food, canned soup, frozen or processed foods, and the seasoning product Accent
Fruits - Citrus fruits, bananas, avocados, and dried fruit
Nuts - Peanuts, soy nuts, and soy sauce
Tyramine, a biogenic amine that accumulates in food as it ages, may provoke migraine. Sources include the following:

Dairy - Aged cheese
Meat - Bacon, sausage, luncheon meat, deli meat, pepperoni, and smoked or cured meat
Pickled foods
Heavily yeasted breads - Eg, sourdough
Vinegars - Especially wine vinegar
Some types of beans

If the problem persists seek the psychiatrist for pharmacotherapeutic management
