Possibly: Different conditions originating from physical illnesses/disorders ithat originate "above or below the neck" can lead to your combination of symptoms. Each condition would be addressed uniquely with recommendations regarding medications as well as possible lifestyle, cognitive and behavioral changes. See your primary care provider for a comprehensive assessment to determine your treatment course.
