[|Human|] I have been suffering headaches for the past 4-5 months, I had a collapse and seizure at work ending in hospitalisation where a CT and spinal tap were done, they were both clear (unsure what they were looking for) I returned to my doctor just wanting answers. She has told me I have Tension Type Headache and prescribed Amitryptiline. I don t believe this is the cause because it does not explain the deterioration of my vision, numbness and tingling in arms & hands, loss of balance and inability to concentrate. I want a second opinion but we live rurally and doctors are scarce. What are your thoughts?
[|AI|]  Hello! I read your question and understand your concern. I would like to know more about your headache: the location, throbbing or like pressure, the duration and if you have nausea or intolerance to noise and light. Furthermore, I would also like to know your age. There are many disorders causing a collapse, like : cardiac problems, metabolic problems, neurological problems, etc. The numbness and tingling in your arms, blurring vision, inability to concentrate and loss of balance, put all together with a normal CT scan, make me think of psychological problems and anxiety. Tension type headache would be associated with this situation. It is typically a diffuse headache like pressure or tightening. Although I would recommend a good neurological examination and a brain MRI just to exclude any other neurological disorder where the CT scan has a low sensitivity. If everything results ok, I would recommend an antidepressant like sertraline or Escitalopram. Hope to have been helpful! Thank you for using Chat Doctor! Best wishes!
