Pulsing Headaches wake me up at night, sometimes hourly. During the day I often got a general headache and nausea, sometimes a sharp pain to my right eye. A neurologist put me on an anti seizure medication. I consulted an eye doctor who found it infected. The sharp pain went away but not the headaches. I’ve had a CAT scan, MRI, MRA, MRV of head and neck. The neurologist wanted to do a spinal tap. At present I usually awake only once during the night. I have been monitoring the night episodes with an event monitor of the heart.
