Anesthesiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

The causes of your symptoms may be the following:
1) Migraine headache
2) Cluster headache
3) Exertional headache
4) Crash migraine
5) Intracranial aneurysm
6) Intracranial space occupying lesion
7) Intracranial hemorrhage
8) Temporal or giant cell arteritis
9) Transient ischemic attack or mini stroke

To those patients who come to my clinic with similar symptoms, I recommend the following:
1) Detailed neurological examination in person
2) MRI brain
3) Eye examination
4) Intraocular pressure or eye pressure measurement
5) Only after the cause is known it can be treated accordingly

Please do consult a neuro-physician and discuss the above mentioned causes.

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

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
