Headache, Spacing Out, Chest Pain, Easily Tired
Hello. I ve been spacing out a lot lately, may it be in a middle of a conversation or without me knowing it. I m having headaches too and there are times that my body feels heavy even though I know for myself that I rested well the previous day. I m also having chest pains whenever I d get tired but the surprising thing is I get tired very easily nowadays compared from before. I went to the hospital to ask about the chest pain but they only gave me some medicines which I thought didn t help me that much. :/ I hope you could help because I haven t told my parents yet about it. I don t want to burden them....

Hi,
Headaches with spacing out I am afraid are not symptoms to be taken that lightly. They might be indicating particular type of epileptic seizures called absence seizures. Association of these two symptoms warrant a CT scan of the brain and electroencephalogramme, to study and monitor electrical activity in the brain., The chest pain described with tiredness deserve at least, a chest X ray and blood tests to exclude anemia, measure markers of infection and inflammation.
Its of utmost importance to especially for the headaches and spacing out a neurologist who shall be better placed to do an overall and comprehensive assessment of your clinical signs and symptoms.
Think this should be of help,
Best regards,
