New and Confussed?

by Autumn214, Dec 30, 2008 11:34PM
Hi,
   I have been feeling nauseated, dizzy, blurred vision, very, very intense headache, anything I eat seems to just sit there.  I haven't felt this was for about a year, however the symptoms seemed to have worsened. I am just starting the tests that alot of people are talking about, such as holter monitor, tilt test, CT and others.  Any advice anyone can give me to stay calm, o.k. fairly calm while this is happening.  I find myself start to get shaky, and very, very, irritable towards almost anyone in my path.  
Also, if my holter monitor , heart turns out alright, I have to have tilt test next. Can anyone discribe how that works?  Thanks for any advice anyone can give me.                                  Autumn

Hello,

Going by your symptoms,it looks like migraine headache to me. Migraine headaches usually are described as an intense, throbbing or pounding pain that involves temples or forehead and change sides from one attack to the next. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, facial pallor, cold hands, cold feet, and sensitivity to light and sound commonly accompany migraine headaches.

Treatment of migraine involves using a cold compress to the area of pain, resting in a room with little or no sensory stimulation (light, sound, and odors), withdrawing from stressful surroundings and sleeping. You can also try over the counter pain killers like aspirin or acetaminophen. If still the symptoms persist, then please consult a physician for specific anti-migraine therapy(triptans and ergot preparations).

Tilt test is a test in which a patient is positioned in a supine position and brought to a predetermined angle or angles from the horizontal position. Such positioning helps to determine the cause of any decrease in oxygen to the brain.It is basically to check autonomic neuropathy and causes of syncope.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or in case you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
