The swelling head part sounds serious, serious enough to go to ER ... don't want to take a chance there, too many horrible options there!!! For just headaches, B2 helps with migraines and helps nutrient uptake from slow digestion, win/win for PD!!! But of course check with doctors about this first, I'm just suggesting to ask drs!!! Big Prayers for both of you 🙏
I agree about seeing a doctor ASAP.
Could he be dehydrated? I was visiting family recently and didn't drink much water there. The heat was on non-stop as there was a lot of coming and going in the house. The combination of hot dry air and insufficient liquid meant I woke up every morning with a huge headache. It went away after drinking a few cups of coffee.
What can help with severe headaches and a feeling of brain swelling in Parkinson's?
Severe headaches and sensations of brain swelling aren't typical Parkinson's symptoms, so it's really important to contact a neurologist or healthcare provider right away. These symptoms could indicate something that needs immediate medical Show Full Answer
I feel the same... I have headaches every morning but I also get headaches that feel like my brain is swelling/trying to burst my skull open. Those are the days I take ibuprofen or something for pain. Since I also have a brain tumor I have regular MRI's done to be sure it's not growing/swelling.
I don't want to minimize it... I think your dr or er is best bet since we are all so different. I simply wanted you to know that I, also, have this symptom. Since I have dystonia, too, I get botox shots (in neck, head, throat, shoulders) regularly which has helped me immensely with the pressure headaches. I had also had a ticking noise at the base of my skull on and off for years - the botox injections keep that away for me, too
