What Causes Consistent Headaches And Epileptic Attacks While Sleeping?

Hi, I have headaces 24/7 365 since 1979 I am 53 yrs old recently only discovered I get bad epileptic attacs in my sleep. I use Epilim daily. I am also a sufferer from Anconolizing Spondolitis and Fibrositis That but a few. What I whant to know is, how bad IS a GrandPa Headache Powder realy or me. It does not realy take away the acute pain, but does give me 30 minutes to an hour of relative headache free time, which I will take. Oh, I visit a specialist 3 times a yeas for gastroscopy to check on ulsers. Thank you for you time.

Hi,

As you are having epileptic attacks frequently, your dose of anticonvulsant may be less or the drug may not be effective alone. This may also be one of the cause of your continuous headache. Therefore, you are advised to consult your doctor, who may increase your dose of Epilim or may add some other drug with it or may change to a new product as per your need for the treatment. Grandpa powder is just an analgesic, which may be used occasionally. However continuous use should be done only under guidance of your doctor, who may advise you accordingly taking into consideration all benefits vs risks.

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

Regards,
Dr. Satnarain Bansal, General & Family Physician
