Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for being in follow-up and providing further details.

As symptoms are not persistent and are of short duration,as of now,these can be related to non-organic cause like Anxiety. I suggest you to please start doing mental relaxation exercises like meditation/yoga and observe for the response.These symptoms should improve.

Meanwhile,please upload your CT scan and MRI reports.I need to look over,if the scans show anything abnormal.

I dont have the images. However, my doctor of more than 10 years reported my mri and cat scan showed white matter that is associated with high blood pressure. Orher XXXXXXX that no issues. He told me my symptons were due to stress and anxiety. He gave me a prescription for Alprazolam 0.5. Im also seeing a theriapist. All of the symptons went away, but started to return once i got a sinus infection. The head pressure and pain returned, and a week or so later my hands and feet issues returned. All ofcrhis started in May of 2015, when inwentbto the er, and the doctor told me i has ms.
My doctor ruled that out due to my healh history and mri results. Im 47 years old black male. My doctorvsaisci would have ahown signs in my 20's and 30's,.

Brief Answer:
Anxiety related/Should improve/Keep observing.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for being in follow-up.

History is not typical of MS. Head pressure can stay for some days after sinus infection.Anxiety/stress is likely exacerbating the symptoms. I suggest you to start doing mental relaxation exercises like meditation, on a regular basis.It should improve your symptoms.Meanwhile,please continue to take anti-anxiety medicines. A Psychiatrist's opinion for anxiety treatment may prove to be of value.

If anytime,however,you get the MRI-Please follow up with images.
