What Causes Dizziness On Left Side Of Head And Drowsiness?

Hi, I m being bothered by this dizziness, specifically in the left side of my head (front and back). It just feels so heavy sometimes, and I feel sudden dizziness sometimes ONLY in the left half of my head, which feels odd to me. It just makes me feel drowsy, even though I ve been getting decent sleep. It just makes my left half of my head feel as if it s being pressured; it feels a bit tight. I ve been feeling this tightness around my left temple as well, as if something is stressing it or adding pressure to it. Sometimes it aches and sometimes I feel as if I have random lumps on my head or on my temple, but that might be me just imagining things. My eyes hurt sometimes too, like above (I m not exactly sure if it would be above or behind my eyes, in the bony part of my eye socket) my eyes. It also feels kind of heavy, making me feel drowsy and a bit dizzy. This usually happens on the left side, again. I also feel this tightness or stiffness in my jaws, making it feel sore. I don t know why this is all happening and why it s happening on the left side of my head, whether it s pain on the top of my head or temple. My throat s been hurting a bit and my neck and upper back s also been a bit sore as well. I d really appreciate it if you could help diagnose it ASAP. Thanks.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such symptoms of drowsiness and dizziness could be due to anxiety and depression, to differentiate it from systemic disease it may need some investigation and clinical examinations, on tentative basis it can be managed with "Tab Chlorpromazine 10 mg" three times in day, (You have not given your age and gender it was necessary here for better advise ) hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
