What Could Cause Headache?

For 4-5 days now i have had a weird headache and in the evenings i get very light headed. I sometimes get occasional tingles in my fingers and what i would call an irregular heart beat every so often. I woke up two nights a go sweating heavily with a heart rate of 124bpm.. I have medical training as a first responder so i know this isnt normal. Any ideas? Thanks Harry

Hi.

I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.

Your symptoms might be due to "Tension headache / Classic migraine(with pain radiating to fingers & tingling). Migraine headache sometimes present with Nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, dizziness & pain radiating to tip of the fingers, tingling etc. I advice you to,
1. To take Analgesics like Naproxen /paracetamol & Triptans
2. Neck massage
3. Relaxation & Stretching exercises.
4. YOGA
5. Caffeine drinks
6. Avoid exposure to light, noise etc

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Get well soon.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
