Daily headache at temples
by satish1952, Jul 03, 2007 12:00AM
In October & November 2005, I had headache at both my temples for two months. After taking Muzox (muscle relaxant) the headache went away.
It recurred in March & April 2006. At that time I checked my eyes and sinusitis and both doctors said that these were not the cause for headache. I took some acupressure treatment. The headache went away.
The problem has recurred in February this year (2007). Everyday, in the morning, I get a headache at both my temples (little more on the left side). (I have no problem sleeping and the headache does not affect my sleep).I again cleared myself with the eye doctor and ent doctor. All thhe other tests during my annual medical examination in December 2007 (Blood, ECG, Stress ECG, Ultrasound, Chest XRay are fine except for slightly elevated Cholestrol). I consulted a leading neurologist who heard the whole case and advised a brain mri which was ok. He classified it as a "tension headache" and advised some medication which did not help. I consulted another Neurologist with the MRI who said that the MRI is clear and classified it as "cluster headache" and advised Indomethacin (50mg) daily. This helps to reduce the pain but it is now more than two months and the headache has not gone.
I am on one Aten 50mg day (Atenolol) per day for the past 8 years for BP which is very well controlled. I am also on one Citopam 20mg (Citalopam) per day for the past 5 years.
No body has been able to identify the root cause and I am really suffering and want to treat the root cause and not take pain killers everyday.
Please help
