Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello FDS8159,
I really appreciate your concern for your health. First and foremost, it would have been nice if you could have mentioned your age in the question cause if the symptoms are to occur in the age above 45-50yrs, then you should undergo a ECG to rule out any cardiac cause for the same. However considering that you have a extremely stressful situation at present, the symptoms can be due to psychological reasons. You should try some OTC pain killers like acetaminophen for your headache. Supportive psychotherapy will surely work for you and you should see a psychologist/psychiatrist for the same who can just train you in some coping skills to tide you over the current stressors and also help you in preventing such episodes in future. Another thing of concern is watch for any fever, and if you develop the same you should contact a physician.
Thanks!
