Q: bad headache, confused, fatigue, detachment

Hello, for almost a year ive been getting a never ending amount of neurological symptoms. They are almost 24 hours a day and it sometimes gets so bad that i have to just lie down until it gets a little better...


very bad headache
Brain fog
Feeling confused
feeling of detachment from everything
fatigue
cognitive impairment
slurred speech
almost non existant memory
muscle spasms
chest pain
general feeling of unwell
Ther are probably alot more but cant think of them right now...

They are 24 hours a day, some i can try to deal with and 'accept' but the total change in mental status is just too much. It feels like i permanently dont know where i am or whats going on...
I went to see my Gp and she sent me straight to the hospital as she thought it was possibly cancer, but almost all tests came back fine (CT scan, blood tests, chest x-ray, kidney scan aswell as alot more) 1 blood test indicated raised levels of calcium but the next was fine... and i have very high blood pressure; for which i have been give tablets for but they make me feel almost worse. I've now been reffered to a neurologist which i have to wait ages to see... Iv'e since had to drop out of university, i mean its hard to do anything intelligent when u dont know what planet your on most of the time! as a result ive just been sat at home for the last 6 months. It also gets alot worse if i do any physical activity..
Does anyone have any idea as to what this could be?
Anything would be much appreciated

Cheers,
Matt

Anyone have any ideas? I'm on 2 different tablets to lower blood pressure (rampril and amlodophine). Now i have to wait possibly 5 months to see a neurologist which really sucks...
Cheers,
Matt

Go to your neurologist. It sounds like you need an EEG. A neurologist will do this. Be sure you write down all of your symptoms. It could be many different things. Call the neurologists office and tell them things are getting worse. Perhaps they can get you in sooner. Tell them to call you in there is a cancellation. All the best.
