Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
With the symptoms you should surely go to hospital and consult an ENT Surgeon for an actual examination to know the cause of your symptoms and have proper management.
If you are taking CLARITIN then this is an antihistamine and can cause dry mouth and throat. (you have spelled claritian).
You may need prescription based increased dose of valium for sleep and anxiety or may changeover to something else.
This will also allow to find the cause of heaviness and numbness from knees down and have proper treatment as required.
Try to use decongestant nasal drops as these act locally and does not have any action on mouth mucosa.
Get started with further investigations and treatment for Ca-prostate.
I hope this answers your query and helps you.
Take care and give feedback once above mentioned things are done.
