Help needed to figure out these painful headaches that have been sucking the life out of me almost (but not every) evening for the past 6 months or more. I used to have severe shoulder, neck pain at the end of the work day when I still worked due to supporting my head and all the daily activity that took energy from my arms, back, breathing, etc. But they mostly subsided when I quit working and got our move completed. The headache though seems to start in my front and moves all around to the back and into my neck but stops at shoulders. My whole head hurts, mimics a severe sinus or migraine. I feel like my brain is throbbing inside my skull. It often is so severe I can't talk, read, move. The interesting thing making me think ALS related is I never wake with it or have it during the day - starts about 7-8 pm. I give in to bedtime at 10.
I checked my pulse O2-always 96-98. I take blood pressure meds in the am (metoprolol and amylodipine) along with Riluzole. Riluzole again in the evening after dinner. Trilogy usage in bed from 10-7 am.
So a problem to discuss with PCP or Neuro? Dehydration? O2? CO2? Neck strain? ???
