DH having severe headaches

Brokenhearted in Illinois

DH is stage six and has been complaining of headaches above his eyes snd the side of his head I gave him Tylenol but still in pain Has anyone else experienced this with their LO ?

I appreciate your experience

Quilting brings calm

Try an antihistamine and a decongestant. There are sinus cavities in those areas and he may have allergies. When my sinus headaches get too bad, it feels like someone is putting my head in a vice just behind my eyes

make sure whatever antihistamine you use isn't an anticholinergic.

Benadryl (diphenhydramine) has anticholinergic properties that can make cognitive function worse in a dementia patient. I found that out the hard way early in my DW's dementia journey. She took one 25 mg benadryl and was loopy for a day or two.

Nowhere

Yes, my husband complained of daily headaches and or stomachs for over a year. OTC medicines didn’t help. In his case, after ruling out everything else, it was finally discovered he was suffering with somatic delusions. Once he started on a low dose of Seroquel, the pain stopped within two days. If you search somatic delusions on this site, you’ll find more details about his circumstance.

Hope he finds relief soon!
