Transcranial Doppler Treatment in India

Reyansh Patel, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two, had been experiencing sudden, severe headaches for three months. The headaches were often accompanied by dizziness and a whooshing sound in his right ear. His primary care physician, concerned about the possibility of a vascular issue like an arteriovenous malformation, referred him to a neurologist. The neurologist, noting the pulsatile tinnitus and headache pattern, recommended a Transcranial Doppler (TCD) to assess the blood flow velocity in the arteries at the base of Reyansh's brain. During the procedure, a cool gel was applied and a small ultrasound probe was moved over his temples and the back of his neck. Reyansh found the experience painless but anxiety-inducing, lying still and worrying about the results. The TCD revealed normal blood flow patterns, effectively ruling out major vascular abnormalities. The relief was immense. Reyansh's emotional journey shifted from profound fear of a life-altering brain condition to manageable anxiety, now focused on treating his diagnosed migraines with a clear mind and a grateful heart.
