Hot head, fatigue, painful spots on head
Hello,
I have been dealing with this problem for 2 months now.
My head feels as though I have high fever, but my body does not have a fever, I have taken my temperature numerous times without any indication of heat. Normally it is around 98.4 degrees.
I have two points on my head that are painful to touch, however when I place a hot bottle of water on those points, the heat on my head is alleviated for a brief period of time, usually 3-5 minutes. Also once I remove the bottle of hot water I begin to experience headaches.
Often I have a dizzy feeling after any type of labor. I also have the pain isolated to the left side of my head.
When I use the hot tub, my forehead stops feeling hot, and I have general relief, but this stops within 5 minutes of leaving the hot tub, and my head heats back up again.
I also notice some floaters in my vision, however an eye doctor ruled out anything suspicious.
I recently had a CT scan which came back negative for tumors or other brain abnormalities.
I have a history of circulation problems, and I often have cold feet and hands. In addition I have a scoliosis, but my back is not more then 15 degrees of curvature at any one point.
I believe that I may have severe circulation problems and as a result decreased blood flow to the head and the warming feelings associated with that.

I have the following symptoms and have been diagnosed with vasculitis:
'hot head" with no fever
tender spots on scalp
sound/sensation of pulse in my ear
crippling fatigue
periodic "giddy" feeling
Symptoms increase after higher than normal salt intake. I hate hot tubs/showers/anything hot so I cannot comment on how heat affects my symptoms.
Hope this helps somebody.

Has anyone who posted been able to find out the cause of these symptoms first described?
My wife has been diagnosed with arthritis in her neck and I think it is blood flow issue that causes this, but, not sure.
She is experiencing what appears to be migraine headaches.
She does have high blood pressure and take Lisinopril.

Hi guys I am trying to understand the issue so please answer these three simple questions in order benefit others and yourself:
1. For how long you keep staring at your computer screens? (either out of habit, hobby or profession)
2. How often do you guys masturbate? (and I am just being concerned about the stats to see the pattern in the issue)
3. Do you keep a check on your daily water intakes?

Hi Jadedock
You might want to check out the Action for ME website as it's possible you have ME/CFS - which is sadly still a "junk" diagnosis ie none of the standard blood tests at your GPs will give any positive results - but there are plenty of things you can do to improve your symptoms, the most important of which is Pacing.

Hi everyone i Guess i am welcome to the club, I have the same problem, for about 6 months on and off, before that i would feel dizzy, i always have headaches, So i started taking tension headache pills,and the heat would go away, but 3 months after ,pills stopped working, I use cold ice compress, and it kinda goes away but it later retuns, the doctors say its nothing just stress, I seen another Dr. in Mexico who said it might be related to my High Blood Pressure, Anyway in about 2 weeks will go to mexico to have a complete check up for this,i like it better because lab work is ready in 1 hr, and all diagnosis ,so hopfully is not to bad.
hello, im 15 and i have the exact same problem except there are no floaters in my vision and i dont have a scoliosis, however i did injur my spine a couple of years back quite severely and wasnt allowed to do any physical exercise and i had to stay at home for a bit.
but i have the exact same problem with my head, when i feel it, it is really hot to touch and is sometimes so hot it burns my fingers. although the rest of my body isnt warm at all, and is how it is normally; i feel no difference. i also have a pain in my stumach which is mostly to the left side however sometimes it spreads.I also feel tired and confused and get emotional easily. i feel weak and have pain in my muscles sometimes. however, this pain seems to go away for about an hour when i take paracetamol, but it always comes back. i have not yet seeked any medical help, if any of you find out what the problem is, please let me know, thanks
