CT Scan Head Treatment in India

Ayaan Sharma is a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two. He has no significant past medical history but has been under immense stress at work. For the past three weeks, he has been experiencing increasingly severe, debilitating headaches that feel like a 'tight band' around his head, accompanied by occasional dizziness and blurred vision in his right eye. His primary care physician, concerned about the new-onset focal neurological symptom (the vision change), referred him to a neurologist. The neurologist, Dr. Mehta, listened carefully to Ayaan's fears about a brain tumor, given his family history of cancer. Dr. Mehta recommended a non-contrast CT scan of the head to rule out any acute intracranial abnormalities like a mass or hemorrhage, reassuring Ayaan it was a standard, quick first step. Ayaan was anxious but lay still in the scanner, the loud whirring and clicking sounds heightening his fear. The scan itself was painless and lasted only a few minutes. The results came back clear, showing no tumors, bleeds, or structural issues. Dr. Mehta diagnosed him with chronic tension-type headaches exacerbated by stress and dehydration. The emotional relief was profound; Ayaan moved from a state of high anxiety and dread about a life-altering diagnosis to one of manageable concern. He is now focused on stress management, physiotherapy, and hydration, feeling empowered to address the root cause of his symptoms.
