Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am not able to sleep properly for the past two days and it seems like a migraine headache. I also have pain on the left side of the head and my left eye hurts a lot. When I get up fast, everything becomes dark for 3 to 5 seconds in front of my eyes.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You are correct about migraines. I need to know some more details about your headache. Please mention the duration of having a headache and how long it stays. Please mention whether you have vomiting along with it. Please mention whether it seems to be a throbbing type. Your second problem is called orthostatic symptoms. You need to drink water of 3 to 4 liters per day. Put on high tight socks whenever possible and do not stand up suddenly and take around two seconds to stand up.
