Persistent Headache for 1 Month

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.

Recurrent Neck Tightness and Headache

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.

Am i going to die soon??

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
