Suggest Treatment For Severe Headache

I have 3 issues that all started to occur around same tims whi h may or may not be delated. #1 I have been getting severe headaches for months but lately they have been getting worse and at least 2 or 3 times a week. They last for many hours sometimes 2 days. My right eye is where most of pain is and along hairline above forehead and a little on top and when I try to put ice pack on pain areas get stabbing pain from the cold cannot use icepack at all because it is so painful. Its like I can actually feel like I can feel pain in each individual vein in my head and also in the front left side of neck and a little on back side of left side of my neck. I do not have insurance so I rarely go to dr. But pain is getting unbearable. #2 ive always been athletic and very strong but now cannot keep my arms raised at all for any reason for more than a few seconds they start hurting and i get out of breath from it i feel like my heart starts beating differently so i decided to take blood pressure which was pretty normal but then i decided to take it with arm raised and my reading changed to 70 /40 pulse 113 is it normal for reading to change when arms are raised? #3 issue my right elbow also started hurting about 2 months ago and now is so bad that I cant even pick up my drink with that arm because of pain and when ive tried ice on elbow I get same horrible pain as my head when ice touches elbow. All these symptoms started a few months ago alo g with just not feeling well either I appreciate any help u can give oh very important issue I left out I went to E.R one night when all this sgarted happening and I had low potassium levels and odd shaped blood platelets followed up with a dr once after that but he didn t give me any answers

Hi,

Let us discuss your issue one by one.
1) There are different reasons for the headache starting from simple noise concern or any depression or severe work stress. As you said earlier that you felt your veins in the neck and head regions strongly suggest tension headache. As this type of headache, such types are caused by some specific stimulus and not only medicinal treatment is sufficient. Use Digesic-P tablets with the change in lifestyle as well.

2) Being athletic doesn't mean at all that one cannot get ill. One should always be conscious of such issues. Difficulty in raising an arm and change in BP with heart Beat of above 100 is something normal for athletes. IT might be some muscle pull or stretch. change sleeping posture plus least use the affected hand plus use calcium supplements and pain killer like Digesic-P tablet with ease the pain, but still proper assay is required special X-rays of the affected elbow.

3) All of these issues are quite inter-related. Proper rest, less load, and pain killers required plus any multivitamins or B-complex.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammad Bilal Khan, General & Family Physician
