Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Yesterday I underwent ECG and ECHO, and the reports are normal. Two months back, I had taken EP study and RFA procedure for heart palpitations. As doctor's advice, I am taking Ciplar LA 40 mg medicine. Since yesterday I have been traveling and have had no proper rest. On the right side of my forehead, there is something trying to pump or jerking or sudden movement sensation not sure if it is related to blood circulation. I am not able to sleep. Getting worried if any blood clots in the brain or any serious going to happen. Please suggest which specialist or any test I need to do further. Last two days back, I had taken alcohol 90 ml, and at midnight I felt like my heart was beating a little faster because of this, I consulted cardiology, and the reports are normal. Please suggest a further test. At present, no other symptoms except on the right side forehead, blood pumping or jerking, or sudden movement sensation often.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

You seem to have developed a migrainous type headache, and you need to get your blood pressure checked and a repeat ECG (electrocardiogram) done. I usually treat such cases after thorough clinical examination with medicine like Flunarizine 10 mg once daily and for a few days, and I give Naproxen for pain relief. You can consult a physician or a neurologist for the same.

I hope it helps you.

If you have any further queries, please ask me.

Kind regards.

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