Numbness On Top Of Head, Weakness. What Is Wrong?

My name is Turner Thoma, I have recently in the past month have been experiencing a numbness on top of myb head ( skull ) I am ok in the mornings but in the evening I tend to feel very weak and would like to lie down and just o rest to keep of my feet , I have seen a local Doctor here where I live in a small island in the pacific and he suspects that it may have something to do with an overgrowth of skull bone on top of my skull, can you explain what he is trying to say or what you believe could be wrong with me.

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail.
I dont think that an overgrowth of skull bone can lead to such numbness. There could be two major reasons for this. One is a hypotension and you need to check your BP in the standing position. The other reason could be multivitamin deficiency, and you need to replenish them by supplementing. There could be some local skin lesions on your scalp and that needs to be examined. And the last but very common cause is psychological. It is called psychosomatic illness and responds to drugs like Amitryptiline etc.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
