Question : Good evening Dr. XXXXXXX As per your advise I am taking the following medicines for treatment of my headache and tingling sensation in the right calf muscle:

1. Tryptomer 25 mg
2. Sibelium 10 mg
3. Maxmala 75

I wish to share with you that whenever I get up from bed or from my seat in the office, I suddenly feel that there is a rush of blood to my head, which makes me uneasy. This rush of blood settles in few seconds. Since this is not a normal thing to happen, I am a little worried. Please advise.
