I have pressure and numbness in my left temple for the past 10 days. Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Sorry to know regarding your problems. There is pressure in the left temple for ten days. Is the pressure associated with nausea or vomiting? Is the pressure throbbing in nature? Are there any aggravating factors for this pressure? How do you sleep and eat these days? When do you have maximum pressure? Do you feel like resting in a dark or quiet room?

You can take tab Aleve (Naproxen) 500 mg when you have a lot of pressure. It does not seem to be serious. Please answer the above questions so that I can correctly diagnose you and clear your doubts. Most commonly, the pressure is because of migraine, and migraine is linked to anxiety and stress. Migraine can be controlled with regular medicines and avoiding the triggers of migraine. Common migraine triggers are heat, less sleep, staying hungry for a longer time, car or bus traveling, sometimes before menstrual periods. I will get back to you after your answers.

It most likely sounds like a migraine. Panic attacks will be associated with symptoms like heart pounding, sweating, and uneasiness in breathing.

Migraine treatment is tablet Ciplar LA (Propranolol) 20 mg once daily with breakfast, Aleve (Naproxen) 500 mg whenever required. Augmentin is an antibiotic for skin infection, nails, fever, and other signs of infection. Instead of Mesulid (Nemusulida), you can take Naproxen 500. In certain countries, Ciplar will not be available without a doctor’s prescription. Please check.

Good to hear from you.

High signal foci on both sides which are 5 mm actually are not concerning because they are fine if it is on both sides and they are because of Migraine.

Since the symptoms are on the temple and MRI does not show any big lesion so we are all good.

Zanax (Alprazolam) should be taken for a month and then stopped slowly. Deep abdominal breathing exercises will help you. Did you take Naproxen tablet?

Hi,

The best thing to treat panic attack is to first find out the cause of panic attack and then after finding out the cause of attacks to face the situation slowly.

Normal angiography is good news. Xanax is good but please do not take it more than 15 days. Please let me know if there is any other thing that I can help you.

Lesions of multiple sclerosis on MRI are typically found in specific white matter areas, such as the periventricular and juxtacortical regions, corpus callosum, infratentorial regions (particularly the pons and cerebellum) and the spinal cord (preferentially the cervical segment).

The clinical features are not just numbness, it also very commonly involves the vision a condition called as optic neuritis in which there is pain in the eye along with diminished vision. Is the numbness continued or has it gone?

Yes, MRI will definitely show MS (multiple sclerosis) because MS is a chronic thing. So, please do not worry you do not have it. Please feel free to ask any other queries.

To avoid getting addicted after 15 days, cut the tablet into half and take it half on one day and next day full for 10 days and then everyday half tablet for 10 days and then skip one day and other day take only half tablet and after that stop it completely. This is a good way of not getting addicted to Xanax.

Check your blood pressure on the morning and evening for a week and take an average of those readings.
