unexplained issues

Im currently 33. In 2005 i went to the doctor complaining that I have these tingling sensations in the top and back of my head. I mostly feel these sensations when i get excited, sad......basically show some type of extended feeling. i told me nothing to worry about and that alot of people experience these type of unexplained problems. He tried to give me some type of medicine for anti depression. I didnt take it cause I felt i wasnt depressed. The symptoms went away  and now they came back in 2008.  Lately I have been feeling light headed. Im starting to have sleep issues. When Im falling to sleep, I sometimes to jerk and it feel like something(hard to explain) going on in my head that my body wont allow me to fall asleep. Sometimes when Im dosing off and only in the process of dosing off my feet feel like its going numb and when I open my eyes it instanly go away. I have been to the doctor and took all type of test and screening and they cant come up with nothing. I dont have headaches, just these rare episodes that comes and go. Is anybody going through this or know someone. its so funny how a doctor will easily diagnose you as depressed, anxiety if they dont know whats going on. I really really need help, advice, etc.....

Could possibly be a nerve thing? My husband had a wreck a year ago and after the hurting went away he still complained about the back of his head feeling weird or trying to go to sleep and legs feeling tingly or feet going numb. His doctor prescribed him something for nerve pain and it has for the most part helped.

Hi there. I understand from your post that you have been having persistent symptoms of light-headedness, and tingling and numbness over the head, and insomnia. You have been undergone ample testing but to no avail. Go back to your neurologist; he is the only one you need to work with in arriving at a diagnosis and management to the same order. He should look for symptoms of migraine, temporal arteritis, anxiety related insomnia asking for a detailed sleep study tracing the pattern called as polysomnography.  Hoping for the best for you.  Keep me posted and take care.
