I have been experiencing the exact symptoms. I found this forum from google out of frustration. Anyway here’s my story. Out of nowhere, I was completely exhausted and felt like I had a hangover. My father happens to be a physician and I happened to be visiting and he checked me out. He told me that he thought I had sleep apnea and that my symptoms were consistent with that. My wife can back that up with my horrible snoring. He recommended that I try and loose weight (i’m about 50lbs overweight).
So I began eating healthier and jogging. Lost about 16 lbs so far. The exhaustion went away, but the numbness is still here. The back of my head feels very odd and I get numbness that travels throughout my head to my temples, ears, and sometimes side of my face. The numbness is very dull, not like you would have when getting a tooth drilled at the dentist. Anyway, I was concerned and spoke to my father about it again. He recommended that I see my physician and possibly get a catscan (i live 10 hours from my parents). Went to see the physician and he performed a neurological exam and did not find any problems. He thought that my systems were stress related. My physician recommended that I continue with the weight loss and see him in a month. Now onto the stress. I definitely agree that recently i’ve been stressed. I just started a new demanding job and work about 60 hours a week. I attend graduate school in the evenings and bla bla bla. Needless to say, i’m stressed. I am worried that my symptom are more than stress. Its reassuring to hear that you have similar symptoms. If you’d like to discuss, send me an email with your phone number and i’d be happy to speak with you:
