Hi,
From your history it seems that you have got Anxiety with depression but before we stamp the diagnosis you have to go for,
Xray for frontal sinuses to rule out acute/chronic sinusitis.
Eye check up,
High blood pressure,
X ray cervical region to rule out cervical spondilitis.
If above all reports are normal then consult psychiatrist for diagnosis and treatment.
