I asked some questions quite recently under classifying headaches. I am 33 with many heart arrythmia problems and take amiodarone, cartia, midodrine, coumadin, advair, lasix, aldactone. One of the problems I have been having with these headaches that I had forgotten to ask you about is head fullness. Many times when I lay down I feel like I am literally standing on my head. My head is full and the veins in my neck and head pop out. My husband says I look like I am standing on my head. If I even have a slight headache it gets dramatically worse with this, and also during the day I can't bend over when I am having this problem. I should also mention that when I am laying down and having this fullness and headache, I have trouble with my breathing. If I sit up, my head feels less full and my breathing is easier.
I had mentioned to you that I am following up with my neuro. and plan to tell him about my headaches. I am wondering if you think this head fullness is linked to cardiac,or if it could be neurological? Should I discuss this with my neurologist or my cardiologist? What do you think this could be? Can it be a contributing factor to my awful headaches? Thank you so much again! You really are insightful and helpful.
