Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am in my forties with type 2 diabetes. I was also diagnosed with subdural hematoma due to CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) leakage two years back and have had constant migraines since then. I have taken multiple CT (computed tomography) scans and show no sign of brain bleed, but I have tenderness in the temple and pain in the face and left arm. I cannot sleep because of the headache, and it feels like the blood vessels are making a sound in the head. I also get anxiety attacks sometimes. Also, I had to rush to the clinic at night thinking I had a heart attack, but the ECG (electrocardiogram) showed no sign of a heart problem. I am currently on anxiety medication for the past six months. The medications have helped me with my anxiety, but still, I am not feeling good. Kindly help.
