Suggest treatment for exploding head syndrome
Patient: I am having brain explosions which is taking away a lot of my memory. I have high blood pressure, and when given a new sample BP med (since my old one was not generic), I tried it and it caused these explosions. Irbesartin was the culprit. Since them I have tried to use a natural BP med, but the explosions are still happening. These are mainly at night when going to sleep or waking up. Can you help end these explosions? Thanks!! Doctor: Hello!My name is Dr. Aida and I am glad to attend you on Healthcaremagic!Your symptoms could be related to ice peak headache. I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful neurological exam and some tests: - a brain MRI study- complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate for inflammation. I would also recommend wearing a blood pressure Holter monitoring in order to exclude possible high blood pressure during those episodes. Meanwhile, I would recommend taking naproxene before sleep. Hope you will find this answer helpful!I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!Kind regards!
