Why do I have severe full head headache?

Patient's Query

Severe headache in full head It's very painful

Answered by Dr. Gurneet Sawhney

Many individuals experience intense discomfort throughout the head, which can stem from various causes, including tension, migraines, or sinus issues. Accompanying signs may include sensitivity to light or sound, nausea, or pressure. To alleviate discomfort, consider resting in a quiet, dark room, staying hydrated, and using over-the-counter pain relievers if suitable for you. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is essential to consult neurologist for a thorough evaluation.

Headaches and iam not sleeping. I feel my pulse in my head, heart, and hands. I feel that my mind is not sleeping. I cannot sleep. The tests and x-rays are fine. Iam feel lost my mind its from 10 years every day

You seem to suffer from chronic insomnia and tension headaches. Your heart can actively start to beat in your head, heart, or hands during the panic attacks. The lack of sleep that causes the symptoms gets even worse daily. Among them, which can be triggered by stress, insomnia, and bad habits in sleeping. Create a bedtime routine, restrict caffeine, and screen time before bed, and practice deep breathing percussions. Physical activity and counseling can also be amongst the manners to receive further benefits.

A year ago i was hospitalized for a week and was diagnosed with dyskinesia, I had involuntary leg and head movements, I had tics sometimes light headiness and palpitations. After seeing a neurologist I was diagnosed with peripheral vertigo..gave me diazepam but after a week I was told to stop it after I told my physician that I was not walking properly...I couldn't walk in a straight line and that's when she prescribed me a different medication cinnarizine and pyridoxine. Now a year after I find myself not getting better. I'm having difficulty breathing (occasionally), my legs are stiff and I'm having tremors on both of them and on my hands but the right hand and leg are worse, specific movement of the tongue makes me feel familiar symptoms and despite drinking medication I still feel dizzy sometimes especially at night, when I close my eyes or In a dark place. Sometimes I feel stiffness on my hips and start walking strangely, my entire body feels strange..like I get shivers. Sometimes I feel like bending my back outwards sometimes I feel like hugging my knees and staying in that position A month ago I had swelling on my head that I could not understand where it came from it wasn't painful it was itchy and sometimes gave me a headache, I always get red spots which are itchy on both my legs, now I constantly have difficulty breathing. I feel like despite taking the medication I was prescribed nothing is getting better but worse. It's been a year of taking medication and still I'm not getting better.

Mild to moderate numbness that comes and goes on right side of head and behind ear. It's been going on for 2+ hours.

Male | 20

Seek immediate medical attention from a neurologist to determine the cause, as it could be related to factors, some of which may require prompt evaluation and treatment. Don't ignore concerning symptoms, especially if they are accompanied by weakness, difficulty speaking, severe headache, or changes in vision.

"Hello, I am a 23-year-old woman weighing 36 kg. I ingested 50 mg of amitriptyline all at once on Sunday, December 1, 2024, at 1 pm. After the ingestion, I slept for around 24 hours and did not experience any severe symptoms during the first 48 hours, which made me believe I was in the clear. My prescribed dose is 10 mg twice a day for amitriptyline. I have IBS. However, I am now experiencing dizziness and lightheadedness, which started today, December 3, 2024, at 8 pm. This symptom did not occur earlier, and I am concerned that it might be related to the overdose. Could this dizziness or lightheadedness be a delayed effect of the overdose? Is this symptom potentially serious, and should I take any immediate actions or seek further medical evaluation? Should I wait before resuming my regular prescribed dose of amitriptyline, or do I need to undergo any tests or monitoring before restarting my medication?"

Female | 23

It is possible to experience dizziness and lightheadedness following consumption of higher doses of amitriptyline, even in a delayed manner. Considering your weight and the amount you took, it will be important to keep an eye on these symptoms. I urge you to go to a healthcare professional for assessment as quickly as you can.

from past 1 week i have been feeling really sleepy to the point where i am sleeping 10hours and after waking up still feeling the urge to sleep ...tired ,weak ,also feeling lightheadedness ...can u plz help me out with the diagnosis

Female | 24

Your symptoms of excessive sleepiness, tiredness, weakness, and lightheadedness could indicate anemia. Anemia occurs when your body lacks enough red blood cells to carry oxygen to your organs, making you feel tired and dizzy. This may be due to iron deficiency, blood loss, or a health issue affecting your red blood cells. I suggest visiting a doctor for a blood test to check your iron levels. Including iron-rich foods like spinach, beans, and lean meats in your diet can also help.

I misread numbers a lot, for example I had to do an essay of 2000 words I clearly saw 2000 but days later I heard it was 1000 and I went to check it again and it was seriously 1000. And whenever I see on my laptop huge paragraphs all over my screen, my eyes feel weird like I cant focus or something. Is it normal?

Female | 19

You could have an e­ye issue called asthe­nopia. It happens when your eye­s get tired from reading words or scre­ens for too long. Some reasons are­ looking at screens for hours or using the wrong glasse­s. To help, take breaks ofte­n, adjust the lighting, and maybe get an e­ye exam for new glasse­s.

I am 46 year old man. I have little fever since days and headache with feeling head like heavyness. I do also vomit with loose motions before 4-5 days and have many anxiety also..

Male | 46

Symptoms such as fever, headache, throwing up, diarrhea, and nervousness could point towards a stomach bug or food poisoning. These might also leave you feeling light-headed or generally unwell. Make sure to drink enough water, get plenty of rest, and stick with bland foods if this is what you’re going through. If your condition doesn’t improve or gets worse than before, please see a doctor so they can examine you properly and give appropriate treatment options.
