headaches & hormones

[helpmyhusband]

My husband has been having a severe debilitating headache for 5-1/2 years straight - they never go away.  Other problems:  TMJ for grinding teeth - sleeps with a mouth piece from the dentist.  Sleep apnea - uses a CPAP. Corpal Tunnel. Low Testosterone level - takes injections every 2 weeks.  Low WBC.  High Growth Hormone.  IGF-1 tested twice - 1 time high, 1 time normal.  Excessive sweating for no reason at all - can just be sitting down watching TV.  Ring size has increased.  
No medication helps the headache go away.  We need answers - he's miserable.  Any suggestions on the next test he should take?

Hi,
You can get his blood pressure checked to rule out hypertension.
Excessive sweating or heat intolerance can occur if there is a thyroid problem.
Also i think he needs to undergo complete cardiovascular examination, so please consult a physician at earliest.

Hello.  Maybe he should get his kidneys checked as he's having edema in his hands.  I'm not a doctor, but I know that's one of the signs of kidney disease or disorder.  Make sure they test his creatinine, both in his blood and in his urine.  This is the only suggestion I have so far for you.  Sorry I'm not much of a help.
