Suggest Treatment For Sudden Head Rushes
Hello, I keep getting a sudden headrush. It happens a lot right after eating, while talking about work, or staring at my computer. I often get woken up in the middle of the night with this feeling, and it s terrifying - like I m going to faint, or fade away.

Hi
All causes of giddiness and vertigo should be evaluated. Migraine, Glaucoma,Blood sugar,Blood pressure,Intraocular pressure(pressure within the eye ball) should be tested.Benign positional vertigo,Cervical spondylosis should be ruled out.X ray neck may be required to rule out cervical spondylosis.
Sudden neck movements,Neck turning movements or jumping should be avoided which may aggravate the head rush.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
