Suggest treatment for head pressure from temple to temple
Patient: i am cipro for a bladder infection....on about the last day i started to feel an odd head pressure from temple to temple...3.5 days after cipro i still had the inf. so am on cipro another 10 days...i still have this head pressure on and off all day....had a headache for 2 days while on the 2nd dose but my period started so not sure if that headache was from that because i get bad headaches every month while on my cycle...but i did have this headache and had nausea and vomiting from it.....i still have about 5 days left of cipr. I am concerned the cipro is causing my head pressure....i have told my dr. about it..she told me to get my eyes checked (because my vision gets funny with the head pressure) and she told me to take a decongestant (i don t have a cold or anything). I am concerned about intracranial hypertension that a freind mentioned to me. Doctor: Hi,  I would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to a tension-type headache.   In my opinion, you should not worry about intracranial hypertension.  I would just recommend taking Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen and closely monitor your blood pressure values.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Ilir Sharka,  Cardiologist
