Suggest Treatment For Chronic Headache And Numbness On The Face

I ve been having constant headaches for the past 3-4 months. I passed out in October and it took me a while to come too. Then almost passed out again a few months ago. The headaches won t go away no matter what I do. I also have been having numbness in the left side of my face, and left leg and left arm. I went to the ER yesterday and they did a CT scan and it came back clear but they don t really have an idea of what it is. Can you please help?? It s been miserable.

Hello,

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to tension type headache or chronic daily headache.

Anyway, this does not explain the numbness in the left side of your body. For this reason, I would recommend performing a brain MRI, which is a more accurate test compared to the CT scan for the brain exam.

You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
