What Causes Headache, Tiredness And Weight Loss?

My husband has had a severe headache now for almost 5 weeks, he has no energy, is constantly tired, has lost weight, feels very anxious and grinds his back teeth. Our GP diagnosed it as Temporal Arteritis as the blood sample he took had a reading of 79 when he said it should e between 1 - 12. He referred him to the hospital but the doctor there said he didn't think it was that. He asked for more blood samples and an x-ray on his neck!! Can you please help to shed some light on this as my husband is getting more and more anxious and worried about this. He has never been off work before and has been off now for 4 weeks.Thank you

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is headache still undetected so the best way to get done the CT of head, to rule of some cerebral pathologies commonly related with this, this is the best option you have instead of testing blood, hope this information helps.
