Brief Answer:
some ent infection may be there

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Heaviness in head and ear with sleepy feelings suggest possibility of some ent (Ear, Nose and Throat) infection.

If these symptoms are acute in onset and making you feel malaise(does not like anything to do) with fatigue you should consult doctor to rule out pharyngitis, sinusitis or otitis.

- Please let me know since when do you have these symptoms.

- Are there any other symptoms?

- Is there rainy season and recent heavy rain there?

I will be happy to help further.

Regards,

Dr.Chintan Solanki.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for follow up and information.

Your symptoms for 2 months is there. Continuous long hours working on computer causes tension headache. Eye pain is likely due to constant stretching of eye muscles during work.
First of all you should always take break at every 45 minutes during work for at least 10 minute. During this break you should see out of window at far to relax you eye muscles. If feasible wash eyes with water in break.
Go to ophthalmologist for eye check up to evaluate refraction(spec numbers).
If headache is disturbing your work daily prophylactic medicines like propranolol can be taken for few days.

Feeling sleepy is likely due to work stress. You are likely over stressed and need stress management through proper food, yoga-meditation, exercise and relaxation techniques. It requires detail counselling session by professional (psychologist/psychiatrist/ yog specialist).

Feel free to discuss further.
