What could be causing my sharp, one-sided head pain, a feeling of my head being pushed backward, extreme tiredness, trouble sleeping, and shaking in my teeth and fingers, and why does the medication Vertin 16 make these symptoms worse even though my brain and spine MRIs were normal?
Your symptoms, such as sharp one-sided pain, tremors, and the sensation of your head being pushed back, may point to a severe migraine variant, nerve irritation, or muscle spasms, which do not show up on scans. Vertin 16 (betahistine) is typically used for inner-ear vertigo. If your symptoms are not inner-ear related, betahistine can actually cause side effects like headaches, shaking, and sleep disturbances, explaining why you feel worse. Please discuss safely stopping this medication and exploring targeted neurological therapies with your doctor.
