Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have been experiencing sporadic headaches and dizziness. I also feel pressure on my face occasionally.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

According to your history and description, a migraine headache is likely the cause. Is there a source of tension, anxiety, or stress in your life? Are you having trouble sleeping? Please answer these questions for better evaluation and assessment.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

That could be possible because I suffer from anxiety. And I am known to be an overthinker and stress a lot.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Yes, stress and anxiety are most likely the sources of your problems. Do you take any anxiety medications? Have you ever consulted a physician or a psychiatrist about your stress and anxiety?

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I am not on any anxiety medication or treatment, but I have consulted a physician and a psychiatrist about these difficulties, and neither has been beneficial.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

So I suggest we begin anxiety treatment. Start taking tablet Propranolol (Inderal) 40 mg and tablet Flunarizine (Sibelium) 10 mg daily at night. Do you take any vitamins, hormone supplements, or other medications?

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Can I purchase these from a chemist in this country? I am taking the Evelyn 150/30 ED medication.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

As a side effect of hormonal medications, anxiety, and mood swings might occur. And, to be honest, I do not know the availability of this medication in your country. You can check about it directly.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

Yes, I have heard that, but I have been on them for approximately three years and have not had any problems. I am now in another country so I will check directly.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Fine. I got it.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
