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 am an 18 yer old bodybuilder and i feel the same thing except with no scoliosis. I have got an MRI a CT scan and there is nothing except for my brain being slightly out of place, but i only started feeling it about 1 year ago. Incredable that some others feel this horrible feeling. Also the hotness usually is more uncomfortable when i have a sore throat for some reason. I have found a remedy that temporarily makes it go away. When I work out really late at like 9 P.M. the feeling temporirly goes away until i go to bed. then when i wake up its right back. If i work out earlier than that, then the feeling just comes back before i go to sleep. SOMEONE HELP.

Oh my gosh. Since 2007 I have been experiencing the "hot-head" symptom with no fever! I can't say that I've had any tender spots on the head but for a while there I would have attacks of increasing body temperature, delirousness, and slurred speech. Over the past 3 years it's just fatigue and random outbreaks of the "hot-head" symptom.

I do have a slight case of scoliosis and poor blood circulation, aswell.

For an entire year I was in the doctor's office and Blood Corp and they couldn't find anything wrong.

I seriously thought I was going insane or that something has been seriously wrong with me. This is crazy. I am so RELIEVED to have stumbled across this post.

If anyone know's what this actually is and the treatment that goes along. please do share :)

Hi from the UK, well looks like I'm not alone, hot areas and tender areas on my head, confusion and dizziness for no apparent reason and sudden temperature rises like I'm having an attack of some kind.  I've had blood tests, heart monitors, head scans...all to no resolution.
