Suggest Treatment For Sudden Dizziness, Tongue Sore And Pressure In Head
Question: Whenever I eat, during mental work, or sometimes just randomly I get a feeling of pressure inside my head, especially forehead and stuffiness or blockage/resistance in sinus, lightheaded dizzy, and sometimes sore tongue. My blood pressure is 130/80, no allergies detected in blood tests, I eat a clean vegetable and chicken diet no wheat, sugar etc. What could the reason be?

Yes, it is not migraine, no history of it.
I have attached a CT scan performed by my doctor - no fluid in sinus i was told. the inside of my nose is reddened however.
tongue is also yellow at back with elongated growths and is sore at the frontal 1/4 area. ruled out fungal as tried antifungals in mouth and oral tablet but no change.
condition started after taking phenoxymethylpenicillin for suspected mouth bacteria. no fix though and resulted in dry mouth, foamy saliva and the other symptoms i mention.
pictures of CT front and from below face, and inside of mouth photoattached.

Brief Answer:
Take treatment as advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Welcome back to HCM.
In view of CT findings and symptoms it is advisable to take Tab AMITRYPTILINE for few weeks as it will decrease headache and relieve any anxiety associated.
It can be started 10 mg night dose initially and then increased to 25 mg gradually. It causes some sedation and dry mouth but will be minimal in night doses.
Let me know how you stay.
