The pain may be related to a migraine headache. NSAIDS and hydration are often helpful, but an evaluation for additional medications with your PCP and Neurologist is recommended. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available. Watch for signs of imbalance, worsening headache, vision changes and dizziness. Monitor your blood pressure and avoid processed Deli meats, aged cheeses and alcohol.
