For months, now, I’ve been getting little headaches (sometimes little pings that are so sharp they fuzz my vision and then go away, sometimes so bad they could be migraines, sometimes little aches in the neck or temples... you name it), nausea (before meals, after meals, in between, etc) and spells where it feels like my head isn’t quite attached to my body and is bobbing along the ceiling (not dizziness, exactly, just kind of lightheaded and airy; surreal feeling, almost, even dreamlike).
I’ve also been dealing with some nausea. Before meals, after meals, in between, you name it. Nothing in particular seems to bring it on; I just start to feel nauseous. If it’s after meals, I feel like throwing up; if it’s before, I don’t feel like eating. If it’s in between, it’s just a general nausea that makes me not want to move very much.
Finally, I haven’t been sleeping well. Not only do I have a hard time getting to sleep (I’ve always taken a long time getting to sleep, but lately it’s been hours, rather than 20 minutes like it usually is) and I’m waking up in the middle of the night (again, fairly normal), but unable to go right back to sleep (not normal for me).
Last night I had a horrible headache (starting from the neck area and shooting up into the head and temple) and today my shoulders and neck are horribly sore; the area just below the head in the neck area really hurts and there seems to be no position that I can sit in that relieves the ‘can’t hold my head up’ feeling I’ve got. It’s not pain in the traditional headache sense, really just soreness, like sore muscles feel. I also have that very ’disconnected’ feel in the head; not quite dizziness, but that slightly lightheaded feeling, again. I fell asleep alright, last night, but woke up several times during the night and was unable to fall right back to sleep like I usually am (I wasn’t in pain or hot or cold or needing to go to the bathroom or anything... I had no reason for still being awake, that I could tell). I just took a couple of ibuprofen, hoping that’ll help a little and I have a massage scheduled for this evening, so we’ll see if that helps. It was also suggested that I maybe see a chiropractor. Hm.
Has anyone else had symptoms like these? I’d like to go to my doctor, but it all seems so random that there won’t be enough of a connection to diagnose.
I’m hoping someone here will have some insight or be able to suggest something that reminds me of other symptoms that I might not even be aware are related…
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
