Tachardiya and trigeminal neuralgia

Posted , 4 users are following.

I have a history of alcoholism but stopped for a long time 10 years ago and started drinking responsibly since. 3 years ago I stopped altogether to look after my mum who became ill with cancer. I was fine for the first 2 years but then started getting severe pains going from the top left of my head down the side of my face with high heart rate aswell. Im seeing a neurologist who has told me theres nothing to worry about apart from trigeminal neuralgia and tachardiya but the pain is so bad im nearly collapsing. Im always tense waiting for it to happen. Im on 6 Gabapentin a day but they dont seem to be doing much good. Im nervous Ive been misdiagnosed and this is the beginning of wet brain. Do I have reason to be worried? Mri came back clear apart from a lesion on my brainstem which Im assuming happened when I was drinking heavily.

    Sorry I am not familiar with what you are talking about.  When I have an SVT attack it does not cause the pain you are describing.

      I can't help with your specific situation, but I do want to congratulate you for working successfully on your alcoholism.  Too many individuals in my family have not been able to do so.  I hope you get some helpful advice from forum participants..  Take care.

    Take Tyrosine 500 mg daily on an empty stomach e.g. first thing before breakfast. Build up to that amount, start with maybe half. If its ok after 6 weeks then take choline+inositol (250 mg of each) at the same time as the Tyrosine.  This will help make the Tyrosine more bioavailable.

    Give your body the building blocks to make more neurotransmitters and plug the gaps.

    reduce the cravings.

    act as a coffee replacement

    its good for managing addictions 

    dont believe me, try it for yourself, do the research

    iit works well foe me but very we caused tachycardia and palpitations at first so i had to back off, could only take it a few days

    once i got much fitter and my body became more efficient i was able to take it everyday and so now i am enjoying the full benfits
