Im 38yrs old and 15 years ago I used to drink quite heavy. I took a long break and started doing it sensibly until 3 years ago when I stopped to look after my mum who became ill. I was fine until a year ago when I started getting severe headaches which the neurologist diagnosed as trigeminal neuralgia. He also found a lesion on the brainstem which I blamed on the heavy drinking. I was discharged but since then, the pain has become worse and spread. I also have nystagmus and tachardiya. Am very worried. Has anyone experienced anything similar?
