Hello Doctor,
I have been experiencing recurrent headaches and heaviness in my head for approximately one month. Today, the headache became extremely severe (08/10), especially after prolonged exposure to sunlight and heat.
My symptoms:
- Headaches affecting sometimes temple head or back of the head.
- Severe headache today. Currently, I have heaviness at the back of my head without significant pain.
- The heaviness increases when I lie down, even with a pillow, and reduces somewhat when I sit or stand.
- I did not sleep properly last night.
- My BP today was 130/80 mmHg, and my pulse was 70 bpm.
Medical history:
- History of hypertension.
- Taking Met XL 25 mg for several years.
I started practising spoken English recently, and I experience neck tightness followed by tightness at the back of my head and throughout my head, only when speaking English with people over the phone for about 20 minutes.
I feel pressure to speak correctly and find words quickly during conversations.
When I avoid English conversations, I don't experience this problem, but I need to practise speaking English regularly to improve my fluency.
I am concerned about relying on painkillers or avoiding English practice instead of addressing the underlying cause.
I have a history of high blood pressure currently 130/90 and was previously prescribed telmisartan 40 mg.
Please help identify the cause and advise me on safe treatment and how I can continue learning English without triggering these symptoms.
Sir
I have a sort of pain near left waistline (pelvic region)and sometimes pain under buttocks, behind thighs since 6 months.
I cannot control urine when bladder is full and most of the times it leaks out while bending.
Is it normal for my right front head to go into freeze mode often. No pain but i can feel the pressure. Sometimes when i have work pressure that pressure shifts to right neck and right shoulder. Whats the problem ?
37M. I was fine until ~50 days ago. Since then I have intermittent head heaviness/fogginess, needing extra effort to concentrate/work, mild dizziness and a feeling that my head/body is not fully focused. I get random brief pin-prick pains in different scalp/head areas and occasional brief zap/electric sensations; these are now less frequent. I also have heaviness/tightness at the back of my head and lower neck. At times I feel internal shaking without visible tremor. Occasionally I feel subjective leg heaviness and positional finger tingling, but I can walk, work, drive and perform daily activities without persistent weakness or falls. Symptoms often reduce when busy. I have anxiety about brain disease and am seeing a psychologist. Video neurological assessment was normal. Eye examination, including fundus/optic discs, was normal. B12 was 219 and Vitamin D 7 four months ago. Could this be anxiety/migraine, vitamin deficiency, cervical spine/neck-related, or another deadly neuro conditi
