I now have aniexty due to a headache that has not gone away for about 2 months .it started out with a migraine for 3 day then it was a dull ache at the base of my head. I went to a neurologist and he said it was inflammation around a disc in my neck. I had decompression ,adjustment,and a massage done. after I had that done I had this weird feeling in my head ,like pressure or being squezzed . them my eyelid drooped slightly for about 2 minutes two days after all trhis was done . please help in anyway because I am tight on money and have three kids to take care off

Brief Answer: My reply is below. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms. These are suggestive of nerve related symptoms such as paresthesia and dysesthesia- abnormal sensations of different types. They are most probably related to compression of nerves in the neck and lower back regions. As of now, you can get good relief from medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin capsules. If symptoms do not improve despite that, it may be better to repeat the MRI scans of brain and spinal cord. I hope it helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries.
