Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar, a neurologist, here to answer your query.
I would like to know if you are going through mental stress or anxiety these days? Do you have any addictions? Any known medical history? Do you have associated fever, vomiting/vomiting sensation, any vision abnormalities? These symptoms may be a manifestation of tension headache. I would also suggest a routine blood work and thyroid tests.

I've probably felt slightly more stressed recently, I don't have any addictions, no medical history, I don't have any other symptoms and I did a thyroid test a few months ago and it came back as normal :)
