10 Multiple Myeloma Symptoms
Symptom #8: Headache
Headache occurs when there is pain in any region of the head or neck. It is a very common and non-specific symptom that can be seen in various conditions such as stress, dehydration, hunger, inadequate sleep, viral infections, and more. Different types of headaches are migraines, cluster headaches, and tension type headaches.
While it can be managed symptomatically with painkillers such as paracetamol (acetaminophen) or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen and naproxen sodium, frequent headaches can impact the quality of life as it affects employment and relationships. In multiple myeloma, headaches may be due to the hyperviscosity of blood.
