You're probably having migraines,Op. You need a specialist to help you manage it. |

thorpido:Thank you sir....please what kind of specialist and does migraine occur every year just like this.....I can barely hear on my left ear now |

cole01:Ask to see a neurologist.You could see one in a private hospital but it will be cheaper for you in a teaching hospital. The pattern of occurrence points to migraine.It does recur every year. |

cole01: The symptoms are more in line with Cluster Headache than with Migraine, though treatment of ongoing attack is essentially the same(except for the use of 100% oxygen for cluster headache). The involvement of the eye(congestion, redness), increased intensity at night, occurrence only on the same side during each episode, and absence of an aura(ie warning signs, though there's a type of migraine without an aura) make it more of a Cluster Headache than a Migraine. It's commoner in males, smokers, and is often triggered by alcohol( hope you don't do these 2 things). Avoid these triggers. A Neurologist would manage it better, and may need to place you on some preventive medications. It's a shame that most private hospitals in Nigeria put all their focus on malaria/typhoid and treat same irrespective of the presenting symptoms. You guys should also read more and be enlightened about your medical problems, as most Whites/Asians do. With that, the incidence of misdiagnosis with Malaria/Typhoid, or the wrongful slamming of "Spiritual Attacks" to undiagnosed problems would be drastically reduced. Where I am, in most cases, patients come into the clinics/hospitals already with vast information about their problems, and contribute meaningfully to their treatment. |

ChybuzzDD:Yes doc,that's the problem..... Its always malaria and typhoid. Sir is there any drug I can take for now to subside this for now pending when I see the neurologist as I can relate to every single word you just typed there |

cole01: Sumatriptan(used for migraine and cluster headaches) has to be prescribed by a neurologist. At the meantime, you can combine Tabs panadol 1000mg 3x daily + Tabs Cataflam 50mg 3x daily(with food), pending when you visit a hospital. 1 Like |

cole01: Op please follow thorpido's advice. No reasonable doctor will come to a public domain and be dishing out prescriptions, be wise!! |

ChelseaDr: That's a very stupid and senseless post from you. What's your definition of a "reasonable doctor" when dealing with prescription of over-the-counter medications? It's your type that has killed and messed up the medical profession in Nigeria by shamelessly diagnosing every case as malaria and typhoid. Patients routinely by panadol and diclofenac(cataflam) from pharmacy shops, even without your prescriptions. So, how does recommending it for him become 'unreasonable' when you guys have been unable to diagnose Cluster headache down there in Nigeria, and has been wrongly treating him for malaria/typhoid?? Can't you see I didn't prescribe Sumatriptan dosage, as it's a prescription drug and requires physical evaluation of patient's parameters prior to prescription? 1 Like |

Do yourself a small favour. Get to a pharmacy urgently and test your blood pressure first. |
