Pulsing Pain In Head, Weakness In Legs. Taking Panadiene, No Relief. Treatment For Symptoms?

hi, i have been experiencing short intense pulsing head pain on the right top side of the head, pain only lasts for 2-3 secs but an attack can last up anywhere from 30 mins to 3-4hrs, this started in 2010 and i say i would get them monthly, the pain is so sharp and intense that i sometimes i loose strength in my legs and wobble or go to ground. Nothing i do makes it better or worse, it comes on suddenly and usually resolves by itself. i take panadiene but it doesnt reduce the severity.

Hello
Thanks for your question
The pain you are having is most likely as it a throbbing type of pain and is usually of shorter duration and occur in episodic manner. In a number of cases it is associated with nausea, vomiting, blurring of vision or some timers paraesthesia on legs and also dizziness, weakness.
The pain usually increase in bright sunlight, in loud voice, in polluted areas etc.
Panadiene is a good combination drug for this pain but not the treatment.
I advise you to take any drug combination that contain Paracetamol+ Domperidone combination on SOS basis as its easily available OTC and also more effective.
If pain further persist then kindly visit your doctor there are a lot of Spray formulations available for such type of pain, it can be easily controlled.

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum. Head ache is an ocean, it is very difficult come to a conclusion of diagnosis and treatment. The causes could be minor anxiety to a space occupyig lesion of the brain. Ofcourse most cases are minor only. In your case as it is occuring periodically, it could be due to anxiety only. Other causes could be refractive error of the eyes occurs while reading, or viewing T.V. or movies etc. migraine etc.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. you may need to haveC.T.scan, besiides other routine tests. If no relief, you can see an opthalmologist for eye examination.
Wishing for a quick recovery and thanks for calling.
