Hi, I’ve been having headaches every single day normally around three of them. They start of kind of sharp and go into a more pressure type of headache with random sharp pains. I’ve also been having a really hard time focusing and reading lately. I’ve been having trouble writing and spelling words as well when I used to be a really good speller. Tonight my right leg got extremely weak and it was a struggle to walk back to my bed without falling over. I have stumbled/tripped over 3 times in the past week because my ankle went weird, I’m not sure how to describe it but maybe numb might be the word. I also don’t know if it’s normal as my friends say it isn’t but i always thought it was normal but everything I see is covered in dots that are usually black and white but sometimes with colour. Are all of these symptoms normal or should I see a doctor or something. I am currently seeing a doctor because of having trouble breathing and I have been extremely tired lately but I haven’t told him about all my other symptoms yet as I don’t see him for another two months and these symptoms have gotten worse since I last saw him. I’m not sure if this is a symptom as well but I have been having very bad memory lately and I can’t actually really remember my sypmtoms in full detail I can’t fully remember having them unless I tell myself at the time of the symptom occurring what is happening, if that makes sense. Are these symptoms alarming, what could it be?
I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing these troubling symptoms. It’s important to take them seriously, as they could indicate a range of underlying issues that may require medical attention. Let’s break down your symptoms and consider potential causes, as well as the importance of seeking further evaluation.
Symptoms Overview
You describe having daily headaches that start sharp and transition into a pressure-like sensation. This pattern could suggest a tension-type headache or a migraine, but the sharp pains and pressure could also indicate other issues, such as increased intracranial pressure or a neurological condition.
Difficulty focusing, reading, and spelling can be concerning, especially if these issues are new and represent a change from your previous abilities. This could be related to the headaches, or it might indicate cognitive impairment due to other factors.
The sudden weakness in your right leg and difficulty walking, along with stumbling and tripping, could suggest neurological involvement. This might be due to a number of conditions, including but not limited to multiple sclerosis, a transient ischemic attack (TIA), or other neurological disorders.
The perception of seeing everything covered in dots, which can be described as visual snow or floaters, may indicate a visual processing issue or could be related to migraines.
Difficulty recalling symptoms and having poor memory can be associated with cognitive dysfunction, which might be linked to the headaches or other neurological issues.
Extreme tiredness and trouble breathing are significant symptoms that should be evaluated, especially if they are worsening.
Potential Causes
Given the combination of your symptoms, several potential causes could be considered:
