Please give me some suggestions and your opinion would be so much appreciated.Thank you Doctor: Hello thanks for asking from HCMHe is 55 years old and have normal BP, HR but having severe headache with blurred vision. I would advise you to get his vision test done for any refractive errors as poor vision may present with such symptoms. Such headache could occur without any definitive cause and a dose of OTC analgesic helps to reduce headache. But if it was a repetitive headache with blurred vision then it needs evaluation. It could occur due to Migraine or Cluster Headache. Both type of headaches present with severe headache and blurred vision. I would advise you to take him to a neuropsychiatrist for help. Medicines like Amitryptiline, Sodium Valproate etc have excellent results in containing such headache. Drugs like Propranolol can be used for prophylaxis of such headache.You have complaints of stiffness of neck, numb fingers and pain in lungs. Stiffness of neck and numbness can occur due to some spondylitic changes in your age, though proper evaluation and examination is needed to make exact diagnosis. I would advise you to consult a physician for pain in lungs and your other complaints.Thanks, hope this helps you.
