right side headache with left side weakness

[Tracy23]

I'm 23 and for the past year on and off I've been having numbness, pain, tingling and heaviness on my left side from my shoulder all the way down to my toes. For the past 4 days I've had a headache on the right side off my head that radiates to my ear, then to my neck. The pain in my ear and neck is sharp and sporadic.

The headache feels more like pressure rather than throbbing, with the pressure varying in intensity. It feels like I'm carrying a brick on the right side of my head. Painkillers don't relieve it, just makes it dull, and it is worse at night. I've also been very fatigued lately.

I don't have insurance, so I can't go to the doctor. Anyone know what I could be experiencing? Does it sound serious?

Hi Tracy,

Tingling and numbness can be due to nerve compression. Please consult a physician as soon as you can to get a thorough physical examination. Take care!
