Go to general hospital. They have specialist for any ailment.
I once had this exact symptoms & went there. They did the first test blood sugar & pressure..
They found out my BP was high & recommended other test. i was given drugs for the bp & now its all gone.
The wait time is always long & fustrating, so u might want to go as early as 6am to see a doctor early..
I wish u good luck & quick recovery! 11 Likes |

ssgi4in1: Good evening good people. I am hoping I will get some help here. Pls this will be a bit a long. I beg you to read. So you can understand better.
My problem started last year April (2018). I was diagnosed with typhoid and malaria. I was started on a course of treatment that involves anti malaria and an antibiotics (azithromycin). I noticed the quality of my sleep was dropping after taking the antibiotic for 2 days. My instincts was that it was the medicine. I eventually stopped taking it but by then my sleep have become badly affected. I woke up a Sunday morning after taking some drinks the previous night at a wedding with one severe type of headache ( I started the antibiotics on Thursday, took on Friday and missed it that Saturday) I continued that Sunday morning. So I eventually stopped all medicine and consulted a doctor friend. By then I had gone two nights with little or no sleep. He prescribed some drugs that was meant to induce sleep and even increased the dosage yet I still couldn't sleep.
Meanwhile before then, I am someone who could be called a sleeper. I can sleep at anytime without stress. I even take naps here and there in my office. So it was strange.
I eventually went to some hospitals and their treatment involved giving me sleep medicines and sometimes it could help me get very little amount of sleep and then it will make me feel very groggy and heavily fatigued. By this time a weird sensation have developed in the left side of my back head (this pain doesn't come and go... It is permanent). After spending some huge amounts I wasn't getting relief until I went to a neurologist. He first suspended all the sleep medications and started giving me amitriptyline 5mg every night ( after few days I started feeling better and had some deep sleep) but still the problem wasn't gone ( head pain and stiff neck).
I was paying about 30k monthly at the neurologists. It wasn't sustainable and I eventually stopped and decided to take my fate in my own hands. I eventually stopped taking any medication for sleep last November.
Between then and now, I have had some good nights where I slept very deeply and nights when I struggled. I have gone like 2 weeks without sleep issues. But still the pain in the back of the head and neck still persist.
Just yesterday I went to consult another gp and his diagnosis was that it was the poor sleep that is causing the pain in the head and neck. But I still find it difficult to believe. I will be having a video session with an Indian neurologist tommorow and I hope he will make a different diagnosis.
My coming here is to know if anyone have had an experience with my case and I would like to know how they solved their problem.
I will appreciate any suggestion that will be of help.
Thank you. Dm me |

Why not solve one problem completely before fixing another?
I had this "not being able to sleep" issue around 2012 and i decided to try Horlicks tea. Prepare warm and drink.
Infact, i turned it into my regular drink and i was able to sleep.
Most of those sleeping tabs are killers.
I've attached a pix of the 2 common brands you will find here in Nigeria.
But please stop all this bunch of drugs u are using o before those fellas turn u into aro.
And u are even supposed to take blood tonic when u finished taking that antibiotic.
Meanwhile, check your blood pressure as someone suggested above. 3 Likes |

Thank you. It is spiritual. The Lord can heal you if you trust him but you must first give your life to Jesus if you haven't done so. Then commit yourself to a Christ believing Church. I can pray for you if you believe but only after you are sure you have sincerely given your life to Christ. A woman in a church I pastored years back had a similar problem which persisted for over two years until she joined the church and committed her life to Christ. She never even mentioned her problems to me but I noticed she didn't miss any church service including weekly activities. On a prayer service day, I gave a word of knowledge that a woman here is being healed of ulcer. Two days later she gave her testimony that her ulcer was gone and in addition, she could sleep without pills for hours. She also couldn't come out when it's sunny because water will drip from her eyes. She also got healed of that. Miracles are real and it is what you need. God is still in the business of healing and your case will not be different if you only believe. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Insomnia is real. You can take Ibex for the pains. Try yoga and meditation to relax your mind.
For sleep, there are herbal teas for sleep, heard pap is good too. Personal a boring movie or book is simply a good sleeping drug for me. |

You have no problem my dear friend.
Just get regular sex and you will start sleeping well. Good sex is the only natural cure for man's headaches.
Good sex induces healthy sleep.
Try this and stop wasting money on a Neurologist. With less than such amount you spend, I am sure you can have a pea on your cock. regular sex with a stiff neck? Wicked perzin! |
