Memory Loss, Headache, Fatigue, Difficulty Concentrating. Suggestions?

My fiance has always been a very easily stressed and get s headaches often. Recently withing the past month and a half, we felt what seemed like a crack in the middle of his skull on his forehead . He didn t feel any pain from it initially, and then suddenly it progressed very quickly into being painful to touch and always sore. Now, a month into finding it, he s already seen a doctor and called in a neurologist , but hasn t seen them yet or gotten a scan. He s now experiencing memory loss , severe and constant headaches and pain mainly concentrated from the center of his forehead where the crack is all over the left side of his head, neck, back and shoulder pain, perpetual fatigue , difficulty concentrating, fuzzy thinking process, exhaustion (because the pain keeps him awake constantly) and some other things. I was just wondering if there were maybe any suggestions for what he might be going through, before we get him back to the doctor to get a few scans. Thank you!

Neurologist 's  Response
Hello,
There are too many things that he is going through and first thing that he needs to do is to visit a neurologist. There is unlikely to be a real 'crack' in the head and it is just likely to be some old scar. probably he is thinking too much into it. Or something else is going on in his mind which is keeping him stressed. If scan results are normal, he may have to consult a psychiatrist for stress management.
Good luck.
