Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated.

Question 6

pain, numbness in face, neurologist says after tests, cause is stress. he referred me to ent, he says i have trigeminal neuralgia.  who do i believe?

Accepted Answer

2nd opinion: Hi,I would go to another neurologist(board certified) for a second opinion. S/he can get the results of the tests performed by the first neurologist so as not to repeat them I say this because the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia is different than the treatment of stress. Hope you feel better soon.

Not sure: It could be allergies that mediate a sinus congestion, and over night, your sinuses are getting clogged and congested, causing early morning pains and numbness.  An antihistamine/allergy medication or inhaled corticosteroid nasal spray may help.  This is a guess over the computer, so it's best to see a dr. For an eval, best wishes.
