Question: I have had skin sensitivity and a little pain on the right side of my body. I have had some trouble sleeping because of this sensitivity and pain. I also had an itching scalp last night when I was sleeping. Do you have an opinion on these symptoms?

Get your B12 levels done.

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

I can understand your concern. First of all since you have pain in one side of body so you should get yourself evaluated. Get your vitamin B12 levels done to rule out vitamin B12 deficiency. Most likely this will come in low range and if low levels are seen then take vitamin B12 supplements.

For some time low dose benzodiazepines like Clonazepam or Lorazepam can be used for sleep. Once your sleep improves then the problem of itching will go which is most likely occurring due to anxiety. You can talk with your doctor for that.

Thanks and take care
