i've always been plagued by anxiety symptoms,breathing,stomach,insomnia, now it appears I can add persistent headaches to the list.......
i've had them in varying degrees for months....on and off.....2 or 3 weeks break and back they come......mostly its like a pressure at the top of my head, sometimes shifting pain, on the worse bouts its present 24 / 7 ........mostly its simply an inconvenience, i still exercise, etc, but since retiring ( at 51 ) its been there permanently, even during the night.
I've done the neurologist bit...where he goes through the motions with normal questions, mri scan and heres some propranolol...that'll be £770 please.
okay...the meaty bit....the propranolol worked but knocked me for six, tiredness and very low heartbeat ( 50 a minute )
The doc has suggested amitriptyline,.......anyone tried this for headaches?did it work?......any side effects...?...
of all my anxiety related symptoms headaches are the worst......so i'd really love to rid myself of these......
