What Could Constant Pain In Right Side Of Head Causing Vision And Equilibrium Problems Mean?

I woke up in the middle of the night 3 years ago and since then,my head is hurting on the right side of my head, starting bellow the neck and covering all the scalp it hurts 24/7 every second of my life with big neurological signs like vison and light problemes and some mouvmeents problems and a lot of equilibrium problems ( i cant jumb run or anithing else). I had mri and ct scan, it came back normal but still it hurts so much that i want to kill myself every second. Do you have an idea what it might be?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I can understand your discomfort on account of constant pain, going on for three years. However, I wish to reassure you that it is not due to any serious problem of brain, as both CT and MRI scan of your brain are normal.

The most likely cause for your symptoms could be chronic migraine.

This would improve with medications such as beta blockers, flunarizine or divalproex, which reduce the frequency and severity of headaches. If medications do not help, then, botox injections would be helpful.

For relief of headache, you can take rizatriptan tablets.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
